M 'CULLOCH OFFERS
 ARB|TRATE CLAIM OWES NOTHING TO CITY
He Says In Letter to Mayor Cole, in Which He Proposes Arbitration
 of Water Service Claim.

Declaring that he does not owe the city cent, R. B. McCulloch, against whom committee of the city council has been Investigating a claim for alleged misuse of city water, today addressed a letter to Mayor ". D. Cole offering to submit the matter to arbitration without the intervention of attorneys.
 He asserts that the claim is based upon silly gossip and says if the council is really trying to protect the taxpayers and not simply trying to keep up political commotion or give the lawyers a chance to make a big fee" from the city and himself, there could be no objection to an arbitra- tion. His letter follows:
 Conway, Arkansas, May 27, 1920. Hon. w. D. Cole, Mayor, City,
 Dear Sir: I understand that the council has authorized the paying out of $500 of the money belonging to the taxpayers of Conway to certain lawyers to sue me for an alleged water bill. Now l have kept. quiet during these months while this matter has been made political football, believ- ing that no sober minded body of men would seriously consider such silly gossip as this claim is based on. But if the council really believes that the city has just claim against me, l will be glad for it's claim to be sub- mitted to a jury in court or out of court. l am 60 years old, and have not recovered from the case of flu" that had last winter, and as far as l am concerned l would rather not wait till the lawyers dragged this matter around through courts-all of us might not be here by the time it is finally settled. 1 am willing to do this: Let the council pick a man. and me pick man, or let the council | pick three men and me choose one of them, and me pick three man and ! the council choose one of them. and [ these two select third, and both sides l turn the whole thing over to them, without any lawyers on either side. and let both sides offer what they want to in the way of testimony. ! hearsay, gossip and everything else. If they want it, and let these men settle 1t. If they say I owe the town anything l will pay it the day it is decided. Now if the council is really | trying to protect the taxpayers and not simply trying to keep up poli- neal commotion or give the lawyers chance to make big fee off of the town and off old man Bob, too. there ,annot be any objection to this plan. don't owe the city a cent, but am ready to submit the matter to any ilsinterested set of men and abide i 'y their finding. Is the council will i ng to do the same?
 Yours truly,
 R. B. McCulloch."

COMMITTEE PLANS BIG IMPROVEMENTS LIGHT AND WATER PLANT To Undergo Substantial and Much- Needed Improvements and Ad-
 ditiOns in Near Future.

At it's first meeting since the or ganization of the new city council, the light and water committee yesterday afternoon agreed upon plans for sub- Stantial improvements in both the light and water systems, adopting re- commendations which Supt. E. V. Lev erett has been offering for some months.
 The immediate installation of a new power unit and a new boiler, with the necessary extensions of the electric power house building on Prairie street, will be the first improvement to be undertaken. The committee di- rected Superintendent Leverett to se- cure prices at once on the new ma ehinery. It was decided, on his recom- mendation, owing to the present high costs of machinery, not to purchase a powerful 600 or 800 horsepower unit, as was first intended, but to add a smaller engine and generator, capable of carrying the load during the latter part of the night, and so constructed that it can be operated simultaneously with one of the other units, either of which is now frequently overloaded, and thus increase the capacity of the plant
 The plant now has small engine and generator, the capacity of which is loo low for operation even when the current consumption is at it's lowest ebb. This engine will be removed to the pumping station at Gleason, to be used in case of breakdown of the cleo tric pumping motors, a boiler for this purpose having already been installed at the pumping station.
 The cost of the improvements at the light plant MT. Leverett estimates at about s12,000. The plant now has on Aand fund of about $10,0OO accu- nulated as operating profits in the past two or three years. which will be applied to the cost of the improve ments.
 The formation of another improve nent district was decided upon by the committee as means for making ex tensions, repairs and improvements in the water system. The first petition Tor the organization of this district will be presented to the council at it's next meeting, it was said today.
 The improvements will include the construction of a large settling basin, the use of which will prevent the re- currence of muddy water in the mains py having to pump from Cadron creek when it is at high stages. and The replacement of the wooden suDplv mains from the pumping station to the reservoir, distance of about one and one-half miles, with iron mains 1t IS also planned to construct exten- sions in the distribution system to reach numerous sections not now serv- ed, and to replace portions of the wood en distribution mains with iron pipe,
