After the reading or tho letter,

that It should he referred to the

Hint Ilin hIiiIl'o was fulff Iloil null In
tended that it should lu heforo ho
retired from olllee.
Finally It was referred to tho fir
and wator committee.
Mr. llennett's letter was an follows:
"In pur8uanco of tho conversation
wo had this morning and for fear
of a mlsiiudorHtaudliig, would say
that tho niihstancQ of It' wns as
follows:
"1. ln regard to tho momlioiB of
tho Water Company refusing to meet
with the Committee appointed hy
Mayor Strnw would sny that no
inemher of tho Water Company linn

her oi tho water company lor years
In regnrd to tho city owning tho wa
tor plant nnd you aro nt perfect

wo liiivo no objection to discussing

'" In rmiK' tn vonr OUCStloil as
to whether or not tlvo plant was for
snlo. l stated to you that about
two years ago tlio plant hml boon
offered for sale at 1 50.000.00, of
which $5,000.00 was to go to nny
ngent who would niako tho sale,
and to this amount Mr. Nolnu ad
ded $10,000.00 to rclniburso him
for tho amount which ho had ox
pended In promoting tho salo of tho
plan, ho claiming to liavo ex
pended over $S, 000.00, ln nddltlon
to his time, ln having tho plant ox
pcrted, and his own traveling ex
penses. "3. The Water Company Is In a
position at the presont time to soil
tho plant. Not nil of tlio land which
It owns, because it owns a great
deal moro than Is necessary for
tho wator system, but tho same
property, Including soventy-ono acres
of land, which was appraised hy a
committee consisting of Messrs. Mo
reen, Perham and Oldloy.
"If tho city buys it direct, with
out tho services of any agent, tho
prico will he $145,000.00, to which
should ho added tho amount of tho
nctunl cost of betterments, con-dunlin-
iirinrinnilv of extensions dur
ing tho last two years which amounts
to $8-105.55.
Wo want It distinctly understood,
however, that this Is pot to bo con

of tho property, or to bo used In
