" In a letter to Mayor Vaughan J. X

rating bureau, says that during the
summer of 1914 a promise was made
to the rating bureau hy the city water
superintendent of Pendleton that the
old pumping plant would be contin
ued as an auxiliary plant In connec
tion with the gravity system. In his
loiter Mi. McCune Insists the pumping
pjttnt must be reestablished or. else

Frank Hayes, water superintendent
denies ever having made any such
promise to the insurance men and
says their' statement Is news" to him.
When the gravity system -was com
pleted the old pump plant was con
tinued for a time for precautionary
purposes until usaured of -the succens
