After considering vnrloiiB phnsos of the waterworks situation, the Joint water commltteo of tho MnrshlleM and North llond city councils Inat' night decided to report hack to tho respective bodies Hint tho cities ac quire the present wnter system nt tho lowest possible cost. This action was taken following u consideration of tho offer made by Mews. Nolan nnd .Inckson to turn over tho property for $100,000. Tho councllmon present shied at this, u number of them declaring thnt It was too much. They figured out a rough estimate on tho property nnd could not see how tho vnluo could exceed about $1 10,000, oven ut tho iiiobI lib eral terms any of tho councllmon stig Kcstcd on any parts of tho property Included In tho offer. I lmns further ngreed that tho boat lMn for handling a municipal wntor system for tho two cltlcfl would bo for North Head to own and mnnago the distribution system In North llond and buy tho water supply from Mara " field at a motor rate, Mnrshllold to handle Its own distributing system and own and mnnago tho source of supply. This wns ngrccd to nftur the council had rccolved a written opinion by City Attorney Goss on tho proposition of having tho two cities unite In n Joint bond Ishuo for tho municipal system. Mr. Goss snld that tho present chnrtors of tho two cities would not permit either to own or operate a system In tho other, that n Joint bond Issuo by tho two cit ies for It would bo looked upon with askance by bond housos. Even if tho charters woro amended to over eomo this dlfllculty, Mr. Goss thought that bond buyers would opposo this class of bonds. Ho snld thnt to nr ranjo for any Joint ownership would be extienielv dllllcult nnd even then It It might bo cnrrled through, tho bond houses would probably domnnd a higher rnto of Interest on tho boiV's than usual. After henrlng this, L. J.
