The St. Johns Waterworks & Light

privately owned water system In St.
Johns and submit the figures to
the city council. Such was the under
standing at a Joint meeting Friday
afternoon.
If the city doe not agree to pur
chase the plant but proceeds to Install
a munlclpicl system, steps probably
will be taken by the private com
pany to hold up the scheme on the
ground th;;t the company has an ex
clusive franchise in the St. Johns
district.
Although it was agreed that the
company should name a figure for its
plant, it was also understood that the
city would not be obligated to pur-
chase the system.
H. L. Powers, one of the owncxi.jj'
the company, told Iho voirril that his
company did not want to sell, but that
i if
price were fixed by disinterested'
