Representative of Water Company

as much water as other cities Of her
size.
At the close of his remarks he Of
fered to answer any questions which
any present might wish to ask and
many availed themselves of the offer.
DR.. Grinstead asked what, in his
opinion was the cause of the fact
that the consumption of water In
Cairo v as so far in excess of that OF
other cities and the reply stated
that several things might enter into
the cause, leaking mains were pos
sible, but the most probable explana-
tion was that people who pay fiat
|rates instead OF by meter. are apt to
be careless as to how much water
they waste, leaking faucets dIsre-
garded and other neglected plumbing
imperfeetions not attended to. DR..
Grinstead stated that, in his opinion
the Installing OF meters throughout
the system would be advisable.
Several other questions were
asked and answered and suggestions
offered and Mayor Wood spoke OF
the necessity of decision being
reached by the people in the near
future, as to the granting of new
charter to the Cairo Water Co.
c. NJ. Roos, superintendent of the
Cairo Water Co., was called upon and
said, THE Cairo Water Co.'S plans
for Cairo are such that it welcomes
the closest inspection of all details
by tho public"
I'm brief the proposition is that
certain extensive improvements are
to be made. To do the work the ex-
penditure of large amount OF
money is necessary, the money mus.
be borrowed and the plan is to issue
bonds for the amount. Bonds cannot
be issued with franchise so nearly
expired and an extension of fran
chise IS necessary"
THE city has the privilege of pur-
chasing the plant at any time at APP
praised valuation and the Water Co,
will not oppose city ownership. The
Company also offers 10 allow the
city to sell the option to buy, to anv
committee or organization of citi-
zens..
IF neither one of these PROPOSE
tions receives favorable eonsidera-
ton the Water Company Is willing
to raise the amount of money to
carry on the proposed improve
ments."
Mr.. Roos spoke of Is items in ths
list of contemplated improvements
depending upon the settlement of the
franchise matter, notably new fiI-
ter plant and said that the plans OF
the Water Company. If carried out
would put the city in any class of
insurance which they decided to en-
ter.
j. S. Aisthorpe expressed the
opinion that the ordinance should be
given publicity and a meeting called
to ALLOW the people to acquire the
fullest knowledge Of The subject
which they are entitled to possess.
| Several other well known business
men offered suggestions and 1t is
expected that the discussion pre-
cipitated by this meeting will ma
terially hasten the final settlement
of the water question.
