Several city councilmen at an in
formal conference last evening, de
cided that as nothing had been heard
from the water companies in refer
ence TO the last Offer made by Council
for the purchase OF their plants, they
would now advocate the calling OF

with a view OF making arrangements
Tor the erection OF a new water plant.
The engineer will be asked to make
tentative drawings and give an esti-
mate OF the cost Of a plant. Some
members OF Council are OF the opinion
that Notwithstanding the fact that a
great outlay OF money would be re-
quired to construct an entirely new
plant. the latter plan would bring the
best results for the benefit Of the
