AND CHICAGO, LOOKS OVER
THE PLANT.
THIRD ARBITRATOR SATURDAY
Aetcalf VIII Harmonize the Differ
enees Between Estimates of City
and Biselow's Appralaers-Final
Estimate of Value BE Submitted.

H. P. Gillette, of New York and
Chicago, the engineer selected By
Charles H. Bigelow in the appraisal
of the Columbia Water Co., spent to-
day in the city in investigating the
physical value of the plant.
Mr.. Gillette spent most of the day
n going over the plant, seeing the
eservoir, the water supply of the
city, and the other things necessary
o q correct appraisal of the proper
ty. He left this evening for his home
n Philadelphia.
Mr.. Metcalf, the third appraiser,
who is to act as the mediator be-
tween Mr.. Gillette, Mr.. Bigelow's rep
esentative, and Mr.. Norcross, the
ity's representative, will arrive in
the city Saturday to make an inves-
tigation of the value of the plant. He
will then meet Messrs Norcross and
Gillette and arbitrate any differences
upon the total valuation of the plant.
When the three have agreed upon
what they think to be just and fair
alue, the city will then either &C.
cept or reject the offer. 1t has an op-
ton every ten years to buy the plant.
1t is not thought there will be much
ifficulty in harmonizing swhatever
discrepancies there may be between
he estimates upon the physical val
uation OF the water plant. The tug
of war will come, it is said, when the
question of the intangible or charter
value of the corporation comes up
for consideration. This will bring on
considerable discussion. and resort
will have to be made to the earning
capacity of the plant during the past
few years.
The result of the arbitration pro-
ceedings will be awaited with much
interest by the people Of the city.
They have been very slow, but it now
seems that something is really going
to be done in regard to the purchase
Of the water plant.
