After 'baring been let oat of chances to 'bar the plant time and again by vetoes of mayors or welching of investigating; committees the pub He took the bit ia his teeth and by meaaa of aa initiative cast a two to one rote for taking orer the water company plant by purchase or condemnation. The vote was 4!9l for and 1105 against. In only one precinct, No. 11, roting at the Senator hotel did the -rote turn against the proposal.

Await Company Anaouecement ?. What the attitude of the higher officials of the company will be Will be announced by President . 'Elliott of San Francisco. The ia . pressloa prevails that the com pany will not accept the city's tea '. der but will let the procedure to a condemnation salt with lengthy and expensive litigation. Under the provisions of the charter amendment the city coun cil is empowered to offer to the ; corporation the amount reported , by Us valuation engineers. The ' cempaay may accept it within w days which extends the time te 'December 1st, 1110, which woald ; be about the earliest date the city :euld expect to take over the sys tem. In case the offer Is rejected the ease will go to condemnatiesi suit 'tn the Karioa county courts. The city's engineers would submit their estimates of value and the company through its engineers and officers would submit their ' evidences of value and the Jury would determine the final value srhka the city would have to pay. i , This done, the city must market Its bonds and pay the proceeds as touch as it required to the com pany for Its property.
