MOTOR At WATER
PLANT IN DISPUTE
CITY CLAIMS 1T BOUGHT MA.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
FIRM SAYS NOT.

Contending that the electric motor
which operates the pumps at the mu-
nicipal waterworks pumping station
was included in the inventory upon
which the court judgment was based
and Is therefore owned by the city.
City Attorney Geo. R. Bigelow filed .
motion in the local superior court
Wednesday to compel the Westing-
house Electric company to become q
party to an action through which the
motor would be paid for out Of the
money paid into court by the city
under the verdict in the condemna-
ton proceedings.
The dispute over the ownership Of
the property arose last week when
an attorney for the Westinghouse
company informed the city that Will
bur B. Foshay. former owner Of the
waterworks and also promoter Of
steam-heating and electric plant. had
bought the motor and also two trans
formers under q conditional bill Of
sale. for 1895 and had paid only
$3.50 on the purchase price. The city
does not claim the ownership Of the
transformers, as they were not listed
in the inventory Of the company's
property and, according to Bigelow,
does not want them, 20 the dispute
centers around the electric motor,
the original price of which was $500.
The contention made by the West
inghouse people and, 1t 10 reported.
by the old waterworks company. II.
that, since the company did not own
this machinery, pointing to the con-
ditional bill Of sale on dle in tie
auditors ONCE as evidence, 1t could
not sell it to the city. Added to this
contention is the further assertion
-tAs4 II the city does not want to pay
for the property the Westinghouse
company will take it back. The city
contends, however. that the Westing-
house company should look TO the
old company to reimburse It for the
amount due.
So far as the transformers are con-
cerned, these, Bigelow believes, were
q part Of the electric plant Foshay
projected but never completed. ~
was also the power line he built from
Fourth street to the pumping station.
later expecting to connect It with his
power plant ON the waterfront. The
Olympia Light & Power company has
and is still furnishing the
power for the pumping station over
this line, and Bigelow believes that
company would supply any trans
formers the city may need at the
pumping plant.
