Councilman Albrecht Wants
Municipal System Investi
gatedOther Matters
Tho question of securing n munic
ipal waterworks systum for Marsh
Held was brought up at last night'H
meeting of tho city council by Coun
cilman Albrecht who condemned tho
prosont service. Mr. Albrecht said
that he believed tho matter should
be thoroughly lnvostlgnted and un
less better service could bo secured
from the present company that
something should bo done. Mr. Al
brecht snld that ho bollevcd that
Mayor Straw had recommended this
to tho council In one of his annual
messages and thought this would be
an opportune tlmo to hnvo it taken
up.
Mr. Albrecht said that tho lnck of
pressure was fierce, that there was
no mains In ninny pnrts of town,
that water could not bo obtained ln
ninny places to flush sowers and that
ninny sections wero practically with
out tiro protection.
Mnyor 'StJ'aw said that tho Coos
Bay Water Company wanted tho
council to oxtend their frnnchlso,
which has sovonteon yonrs to run,
3 thnt thoy could Issuo twonty-flvo
year bonds to rnlso funds to enlarge
and Improvo the system.
Tom Coko snld that ono roason
why ho had opposed tho nntl-trontlug
ordinance was bocnuso whou n man
snw tlio source or supply or mo
wntorworks It miido him feol as
though ho could uovor drink the
wntor.
City Attorney Goss snld that on
of tho best things about tho prosont
frnnchlso wns that It has only seven
teen years to rim. Ho snld under
It. tho city cannot forco or roqulro
tho company to do anything. Ho
si Id tho frnnchlso was drafted by
J. W. Dennett for hlmsolf so thnt tho
council could lmnglno tho benefits
tho city onjoyed undor It.
Finally Councilman Copplo was
Instructed to consult Manager Flnna
gnn of tho Coos Day Wntor Company
ond spo what thoy would do.
Other Business.
Councilman Albrecht wanted some
othor unfinished matters closod up
now.
Ono of these Is tho wntor right
which Robert Marsdon claims on
tho city pnrk. Mr. Albrecht said
that ho thought this tltlo should bo
cleared.
City Attornoy Goss said that Mr.
Marsdon or rather the Bonnott Trust
company, in wnoso namo ino mio
now is, had a wntor right. Ho said
that ho didn't think It wns uny good
but that probably tho holders would
rotaln It In hopos of holding up tho
city for a good sum for It somo day.
There was talk of condemning tho
old wntor tower, which stands partly
In tho streets, and ordering If torn
down. Tho matter will bo further
Investigated.
Mr. Albrecht also wanted tho tltlo
to tho old cemetery cleared and tho
Southern Oregon Company required
to replat Its addition around It In
proper shape.
As Elijah Smith Is soon to return,
a commltteo of tho city council will
confer with him about It.
