WATERwORKs SYSTEM

The purchase of the local water works system from the Alabama Water Company will be negotiated at a conference of the arbitrators Tues day. This conference will take place at Cincinnati, between J. F. Cannon, rep resenting the city of Bessemer, and Nicholas Hill, representing the water company.
 MT Cannon was notified of the time of the appointment last week, having previously told MT Hill to set the date of the meeting. He will leave Monday for Cincinnati, accompanied by Mayor B. c. Jones, who will go there on other business for the city.
 It is expected that the arbitration ffor the purchase of the plant will take kconsiderable time, as both representa- tives have not conferred before. Each lhas made a separate estimate of the tvalue of the plant, making itemized tstatements of the local property, with the assistance of engineers, who have kgone thoroughly over the properties ! In event the two arbitrators are un Table to agree on the price that the lefty is to pay for the property, they will then appoint a third arbitrator, who will decide the matter. The pur- chase price of the plant is left entirely in the hands of the arbitrators, who have been appointed by the company and the city separately, this method of purchase being specified in the fran chise of the company.
 This will be the last opportunity the city will have to purchase thef local water system by arbitration this op- tion having been a condition of the franchise. The people of Bessemer fa- vor the purchase of the plant at this time, however, and it is thought that the deal will be consummated.

You can say that Birmingham's quota of the $s7, 800 required for the purchase of the site for the federal coal terminal at Mobile will be- raised. and that in a hurry. sad George w. Connors, chair man of the committee of coal operators appointed to raise the fund.
 MT Connors went on to say that the subscriptions were coming in rapidly and that the. coal operators were responding promptly and with an agreeable spon- taneity.
 No word has been received from Mo- bile asl to the amount being raised there The city declined to give anything to the purchase of the site, whereupon citizens interested undertook to raise the Mobile quota by private subscription That work is now going on.
 Among the subscribers to the Birming- ham quota are coal operators who have never shipped via the Warrior river and have never done bunkerage or export coal business at Mobile and who never expect to do so, but they take the po- sition that the entire coal trade will be benefited by increase of coal business done at Mobile.
