WILL ASK WATER BIDS
Wholesale Probe Topeka Supply
Planned by City Fathers.

Not less than five engineering firms
will be asked to submit terms for an
investigation of Topeka'S water situa-
ton. under q motion by Commissioner
W. H. WATSON, passed by the city COM
missioners today.
Action followed a discussion of. the
proposed filtration plant by the conn
missioners.
The commissioners were unanimous
that 4 thoro investigation should be
made soon to ascertain whether any
possibility of obtaining water by the
present system had been overlooked
and, if not, to get bids on a filtration
plant for the city.
Commissioner Wilbur Stanfield,
who has been fathering the filtration
ing $1,000, if necessary, to have a
thoro and efficient investigation mades
During the last two years, he said, the
city has spent $4,000 in getting wa
ter by the present method. All of the
machinery, now in operation at the
| West End plant, could be used in a
filtration plant. he asserted.
Stanfield asserted that five days
time would be sufficient for each firm
to make its examination. He told the
. commission that Topeka's present wa
ter production was only so per cent of
what it was two years ago..
Superintendent Fred Painter of the
water department. stated after the
meeting that $50 600 had been spent
on deep wells and on a concrete strue-
ture to house them. If a series of
small wells had been installed instead.
| he said. and their flow pumped into a
! reservoir. the city would have got
much more for its money.

FAILED TO AGREE
Topeka Stockholders and North Ameri-
can Officials Confer.

A fruitless attempt last evening to
reach a compromise at conference
with the officers of the North Ameri-
large local stockholders held Monday
the differences to be settled by other
opinion of both sides.
T. w. ExIey. president of the North
American Hotel company; Jesse S.
Newton, secretary, and J. w. Ready,
attorney, all of Omaha, were here.
The suit of the stockholders against
American Surety Co, the bonding
company, now pending. in The United
States district court, will come up
Monday, at Kansas City, Kan. before
Judge Pollock, at which time, it is
said, the North American officers viii
attempt to get a continuance. Equal
efforts will be made by counsel for the
stockholders to have the case tried at
once. The suit was brought by the
stockholders asking a Judgment of
$152,000 against the bonding COM
pany-the amount which has been
subscribed under contract to erect the
new hostelry at Ninth and Kansas
avenues.
A previous offer OF the stockholders
to accept 100000 and the equity in
the lots at Ninth and Kansas avenues
was rejected by the North American
company, which asked for another
proposal. Certain stockholders, how
ever. were 1oath to make further con-
cessions and the conference Monday
was unavailing.
