Lengthy diacuaalon on proposed
amendments to Mayor K. 1). Ullson's
waterworks franchise ordinance cul
minated In a unanimous vote favor
ing the adoption of tho three chang
es outlined. These are to provide
use of Spring river water, to set 20
years as the life of the contract, and
to provide two years after legal ob
stacles are removed as the maximum
time in which construction uaay be
started. Debate leading lo the au
thorization of ( per cent as the rate
of Interest on paving bonds occupied
much of the remainder of the time
at an unusually protracted session.
Following bis usual custom, Mayor
K. D. Gilaon yielded his chair to
President of the Council G. II. Maker
when amendments to ordinance No.
201 were presented for Ihe second
reading. The ordinance In question
Is the one In which the council pre
sented to Mayor Gllson a franchise
tu operate a waterworks system in
fiend.
Copied II. V. I.. & P., Hays Mayor.
Ili-fore any anion was taken, Coun
cilman Gilbert asked City Attorney
('. R. Ilenson for an opinion as to
what penalty violation of any of the
terms of the franchise or its proposed
amendments would carry. Mr. Ilen
son chose to regard the franchise as
a contract bntween the city and the
mayor, and aald that he believed It
would be binding. A definite state
ment stipulating forfeiture as an au
tomatic result of violation might
make the agreement more specific,
however, he said.
In response to Mr. Maker's ques
tioning, Mr. Ilenson said that the
amendments are probably definite
enough in Insuring the use of Spring
river water In the mayor's proposed
water system. Doth the city attor
ney and the mayor agreed In atuting
that the memorandum outlining the
amendments, reud to the council nt
thn time of tho passing of the origi
nal ordinuiire. did not Include any
definite forfeitute provisions.

Miscellaneous topics brought up at

increasing the interest In the affairs.
All of these Ideas are in use In other
