MtCully, as principal owner of the old water works sys tem, to sell out his old system, with good will, for $1,000.00. The opponents of McCully on the council voted for the submission of the compromise proposition to the people, as all sides are desirous of settling the dispute, if possible. McCully operated a water works system under an old franchise and a few years ago the city decided to put in a municipal gravity system. Mc Cully continued to sell water and ex tend bis plant in the new parts of tbe city and the city brought an ac tion to restrain him from doing so, claiming his franchise to have expired. Judge Knowles decided McCully had a valid franchise and a right to use all the streets for this purpose, and released an injunction against so doirg Tbe case was appealed to the supreme court and Judge Knowles reversed, but in tbe meantime McCully proceeded to Reception lu Her Honor Tomorrow Af ternoon Is Arranged.
