The public should have complete in
formation concerning the suggested pur =
chase price of $3.50, 900 for the plants
and equipment of three private water
companies in the northeast, the Bureau
of Municipal Research declared today.
The Holmesburg, Disston and Phila- %
delphia aud Bristol Water Companies
supply water to about so per cent of
the population in the Forty first ward.
Councils by ordinance of March II,
1919, declared the city's intention to
purchase or lease the facilities of the
private water companies. After an
investigation by three arbitrators pur-
chase price of $3.50, 900 was recon-
mended to Councils last December.
Continuing, the bureau asked, i'll a
public bulletin:
.'What sums make up this total price
Of $3.50 900? How were they arrived at ?
What price was initially asked by the
companies, and what was the city S pro e
posal? What were the resulting COM
promises and concessions? What prece-
dents were used in setting property
values?. These and other questions
arise when the proposed purchase is con
sidered. and they are not answered IN
the arbitrators' report.

City Council should hold public hearings
at which the arbitrators will present the
details of their report. 1t is also essen :
tial that the city solicitor should ex-
anime the findings in the interest of the
public, since certain constituent por-
tions of the recommended purchase price
may be based on principles of valuation
and compensation concerning which
there is a variance of opinion. II these
hearings show that the city should not
approve the price agreed upon by the
