LIBERAL OFFER
TO FIT. MADISON
Mississippi River Power Company
will Give $4,000 Toward
Adjustment of Sewer
System Problem.

The Mississippi River Power COM
pany has offered to adjust the sewer
system problem at Fort Madison, at
a cost of $4,000. The city council
met Eugene Maxwell Monday even
ing, blu. as all members were not
present, the matter was not decided
at the time.
The following is the letter of the
power company:
"On March Is, 1916, the Missis-
sippi River Power company submit
ted full plans, estimates and blue
prints for the adjustment Of the
street ends, for rip.rapping River
view park, for building of sewage
pumping plants, and the re-adjusting
of the ends of the existing sewers
"Since that time the power COM
pany has rip-rapped Riverview park,
and that need not be considered
further.
1.-THE estimate of the power COM
pany shows the cost of constructing
a pumping station sufficient in size
and capacity for pumping all Of the
sanitary sewage of the city, which in
cludes all of sewer districts Nos S,
6 and Z, building the necessary sewer
district No. 4 from the intersection
Of Santa Fe avenue and Occidental
street to the pumping station, and
the rip-rapping of the end of the
present sewers, to be $11, 412.52.
1.-THE cost Of grading, filing, and
rip-rapping the end of Knapp street,
rip-rapping at the foot Of Eaton
street, and filling and grading Maple
street and Division street at the in
tersection of said streets, is esti-
mated at the sum of S2,5150O, max
ing a total for the entire value Of
s13,927.52.
1--WE will either do this work our
selves according to said plans and
specifications and pay to the city the
sum of S6,072.4S, to be used by it as
fund, the interest Of which shall
be used in maintaining the pumping
station; or we will pay to the city
the sum Of s20.000.00
This offer is made, not because
we admit any liability, but because
the matter has been in controversy
for some time, and we are DESTROYS
of maintaining friendly relations with
the city Of Fort Madison and of set.
Ting this controversy amciably, but
we expressly deny any liability what.
ever in the premises.
his offer is also made on the
conditions that the city enter into
contract with the Mississippi River
Power company, which shall be bind
ing upon the city and which shall
have the effect of forever releasing
the Mississippi River Power company
from all claims because of alleged
damages to the sewer system of the
city of Fort Madison, to the sewer
ends and to the ends of all streams
| terminating at the river.
Very truly yours,
EUGENE MAXWELL"
