Utilities Commission Tells City
and Water Co. to Negotiate.
FINDS THAT PIPES HAD BUGS AND
FISH IN THEM
Rules That Supply From Present Sys-
TEN is not Potable. Must Make Re-
port to Commission in 30 Days.

Purchase by the municipality of the
plant which supplies the city of Twin
Falls, Ida, with water for drinking
and domestic purposes is the solution
of the controversy between the city
and the water company, as proposed
by the public utilities commission in
an order issued Wednesday.
Under that order the city and COM
pany must Immediately commence ne
gotiations toward the making of such
transaction The text of the order
follows:
"It is therefore ordered that said
city of Twin Falls, the applicant here
in, and the Twin Falls Waterworks
company, Ltd, intervenor, agree upon
the purchase price of the intervenor's
plant and the terms and conditions of
payment, and that they make a full
and complete report of the same to
this commission within 80 days from
date hereof Provided, however, that
in case the said parties cannot agree
upon the same, that they, and each of
them, make a full and complete report
of all offers and proposals, and in
fact all negotiations had in regard
thereto, within the time specified"
Stirs Entire City.
The order was issued in response to
an application filed before the COM
mission by the city for certificate OF
public convenience and necessity that
would permit it to install its own wa
terworks system. 1t was contended
that adequate service was not being
given by the company.
Twin Falls was deeply stirred by
the controversy over the supplying to

impure water, and the water question
was made the issue Of the last cam.
