MAYOR. EXPLAINS
SEWER STATUS
City viii Look 10 BOndsmen to
Pay for Any Loss Incurred
by Default of Contract
Ors, Is Statement

~ Inc uuhCs
feel free to make q statement con-
corning the present condition of the
sewer system. II has been necessary
for the city administration to with
hold certain information from the
public relative TO the matter until the
city's exact position be established.
II is my desire that the citizens be
fully informed at all times concern
ing every question in which they are
interested. The city administration
has and is spending large sums Of
money for public Improvement and it
is a relief to those responsible for the
proper expenditure of public funds to
feel that the public knows what is be-
ing done.
Some time ago the Plummer-Adams
Company served formal notice of the
Abrogation Of its contract for the
construction of the sewer system.
The council did not acknowledge or
accept the abrogation.. The council,
through the proper city department
Of that body, instituted thorough
investigation as to the city's legal
rights in the premises. q
After doing this the council has de-
cided that the city holds a valid and
binding contract for the construction
of the sewer system and have also
decided that the city's interests are
fully protected through bonds fur
nished the city by the construction
company in the approximate amount
of S17S,OOO.0O.
According to the report Of Mr.. A.
C. Moore, supervising engineer, the
Plummer-Adams company abandoned
the work Friday, May S1st. The ad-
ministration at once telegraphed the
bonding company Of New York City
of this fact and confirmed the same by
registered letter.
The Bonding company has been no
tilted that the city will expect them
to assume control and either sublet
or carry on the work to completion
and they were also notified that unless
they do this within two days from no
LITIGATION the supervising engineer
will proceed to employ sufficient men
to complete the work according to the
terms of the contract and the expense
charged to the account Of Plummer-
Adams & Company and the admins
tration would look to the bonding
company to fully indemnify the city
and hold it safe and harmless free
against loss or damages.
Practically all of the material is on
the ground for the sewers. The later
al sewer bonds have been accepted
and the funds are available.
The lateral sewer bonds to the
amount of $12s,015.S5 were expected
on May 10th and were placed in
escro in the American State Bank at
Wichita, Kas., under contract, giving
the city the right to draw on same at
any time and in any amounts. The
bonding company to allow the city D.
per cent on all bonds so placed in es-
Gro until the funds are withdrawn.
Apparently there are no obstacles
existing now hindering the progress
of the sewer work.
The supervising engineer, Mr.. A. r.
Moore, has received definite instruc-
tions to carry out the proceedings
necessary to accomplish the end de-
sired.
The progress of the municipal wat
err plant system is moving along as
fast as possible.
Very respectfully,
E. L. Wright, Mayor.

room, Downing street, with few
colleagues. Our eyes were on the
clock, our thoughts on one subject

to direct our conversation TO other

never come, to our ultimatum to
Berlin
When Big Ben struck 1880

room knowing that the British en-
pire was at war.

send a war telegram to the whole
of the British empire | asked The
official in charge Of that duty how
long it would take He said about
six minutes.
Il asked him to return to my
room after he had done his work
In seven minutes he was back and
before morning I received an &C
acknowledgement of my telegram from
every single colonial protectorate
and every islet in the Pacific.
so the grim machinery of war
began revolving in perfect order
and with perfect preparation, be
cause. more than two years pre-
viously, an individual war book had
been prepared by the colonial com
mittee of defense for every single
protectorate and island It was at
that moment locked in the safe of
each governor or commissioner and
they knew at once what to do"
