Col. Grceno wns ono of tho group
of mngnntes nt tacked by Thomas W.
LnwHon In his story of "Fronzlod Fi
nance" nnd his reply to Lawson and
threntH of bodily vlolonco causod
much comment nt the tlmo. His
wealth was estimated at many mil
lions. compnny furnish freo wator for tho
city hall but Mr. Jackson stated that
tho law forbnde doing so.
Dr. Bnrtlo or North Bond sahl that
n stnndnrd of purity should be fixed
for tho water. Also that tho fran
chise provision that tho company had
to bo given ton days notlco of any de
fect by tho city nnd wns thou given
ten dnys more In which to start to
remedy the defect nnd with no pro
vision ns to tho tlmo they might tuko
In remedying same was sufficient.
Ho snld that In raso of typhoid fovor
contamination, a few days dolay
would endanger tho entire city. Mr.
Jackson flnnlly agreed that tho clauso
bo changed to provide for Immedi
ately beginning to remedy defect and
do so with duo diligence As to testa
of city wntor, Dr. Bartlo said they
should bo frequently mado and told of
his having tests mado every six wooks
or so now. Ho said that when the
tests showed the water Impure, ho
reported it.
Dr. Bartlo also told of his oxpor
lonco at Eugene during a typhoid
fover epldomlc. He said that undor
tho franchise tho Kugono wator com
pany then held, thoy could not bo
forced to remedy tho defect and flnnl
ly tho only recouroo or protection
the public had was to hnvo the Oro
gon State Board of Health condemn
tho wator system.
During tho evening Mr. Nolan
nromlsed the North Bond delegation
thnt If ho took over tho wntor plant,
ho would run a Blxteon-lnch main to
North Bond nnd furnish them sovon-ty-flvo
pound pressuro. Tho North
Bend dologntes want a reservoir put
In there so as to insuro thorn plenty
of wator and pressure.
Mr. Jnokson nskod that tho city
agree to tako iilnaty hydrants at tho
Increased rentnl of $3. CO por month,
Tho councllmen did not know wheth
or tho city could uso that many to nd
vantugo or not. Tho city now has
thlrty-sovon but would hnvo more If
tho water pipes woro largo enough to
supply thorn where needed'. Finally
It was agreed that Flro Chlof Traver
should mnko nn investigation und
report how many additional hydrants
tho city should hnvo.
Othor minor nintters wero brought
