members OF the citizens committee
felt that the city commission had
done the right thing.
A. w. Lucas said: 81 think it was
an expediency that was properly
economical and for the best intere SITS
OF the consumers"
DIR. N. o. Ramstad said: 81 believe
the city is doing the very best thing
that can be done by taking over the

that Mr.. Atkinson's figures and work
have been vindicated."

Ii the matter had not been settled,
some citizens here expected the wa.
ter company to seek an injunction in
the courts to prevent the city from

Among the reasons understood to
have impelled the city commission
and citizens committee in their at
titude was that by taking over the
old plant they would avoid litiga-
ton. necessity of tearing up many
streets to lay mains, and would be
in position to furnish water with
the old plant at cost while it was be-
ing improved, and would save many
thousands Of dollars by having pro-
ducing property at the state. where
as if the city built plant it would
