CONTRACT
FOR PURCHASE OF
WATERPLAMT READY
Chairman simms and City Attor.
ney Keleher Will Have Pro-
posed Agreement in Shape TO
Submit at Next Council Meeting

In collaboration with Chairman Al
bert q. Simms. of the councilmanic
water committee. City Attorney Will
lam A. kelehcr began today shaping
the details OF the contract between
the city ~ the water for
the purchase OF the corporations
plant and system by the municipality.
Chairman Simms announced hat the
contract would be ready Ia submit 10
the council at It's next meeting on the
first Monday in MAY.
When council, last night. passed the
simms three engineers" plan for val
uing tho water plant over Mayor Wes-
tcrfeld's veto and President a. n. Nc
Millen's acceptance OF IL for the water
| company was announced. the city at
torney and Chairman Simms were au-
thorized TO prepare the contract COW
ering the deal.
The vote overriding the mayors
veto was six to two. Aldermen swift
ger and De Tullio were the two IA
lciimen who agreed with tho mayor Ia
opposing the plan on the ground that
II encouraged payment OF tho fun
$4,000 bond issue for the plant.
The plan provides that II the com.
panys engineer and the City's engi-
neers fail to reach an~Sagreemen. as 10
value, a third engineer. named by
lChief Justice Hanna OF the state su
preme court. shall arbitratc. the plan
providing that the city shall not be
bound TO agree TO u figure beyond
st00. 900.
The mayor and his supporters IN
council contended that In naming a
maximum figure the council would
invite the fixing OF just that figure for
the plant. The advocates OF the plan
argur that in fixing a maximum price
there is no encouragement whatever
for anything but a fair valuation OF the
plant. while il leaves the city free
TO drop negotiations IL a higher figure
than the full bond issue is reached ~
valuation.
