rating bureau. says that during the
summer of 1914 promise was made
to the rating bureau by the city water
superintendent of Pendleton that the
old pumping plant would be contin'
used as an auxiliary plant in connec-
ton with the gravity system. In his
letter Mr.. McCune insists the pumping
plant must be reesta blished or else
isurance rates will he raised here.
Frank Hayes. water superintendent
denies ever having made any such
promise to the insurance men and
says their statement is news to him.
When the gravity system was COM
pleted the old pump plant was con-
tinued for a time for precautionary
purposes until assured of the success
full working of the new system. The
pump plant was then dismantled be-
cause parts of the machinery were be-
ing stolen.

AS a member of the water board. V.
Stroble expresses INDIGNATION at the
claim of the underwriters about the
promise from the superintendent. He
explains that any such promise woulu
have had to come from the water
hoard to be binding, the superintend-
ent being merely an employe of the
board. He says no request for the
maintenance of the pumping plant
was ever made either to the water
board or to the city council and he
therefore is in no mood now to listen
to the claim of the underwriters that
It be restored. The claim is regard
ed as a pretext for raising rates.
The expense Of refitting the pump
ing plant would he heavy and there
wound he danger of the plant being
cut of shape If needed. What the
outcome of the controversy will be
remains to he seen. The water board
is anxious to avoid any such expense
as the new work on the Chaplish
springs is taking much money.
