Council and Com mission to Meet The city council 'and the public utilities commission are to meet in joint session at the call ot the mayor to consider an adjustment of the matter of a balance due the city from Dr. Reddy upon the lease of the municipal railroad. The road had been leased to the doctor at a rate to cover the interest upon the bonds. and he gave his note for $6,000 to.yeari it ig hoped that the business of cover a period of the lease. During this period, and before tbe $6,000 had been earned by the' city, agree ment had been made for the sale of the road to the Twohys, thus re leasing tbe contract between the city and Dr. Reddy. 'The commission had recommended the cancellation of the note held against Reddy, but members of the counoll are not a unit in agreeing to the cancellation of the entire amount of the note, and the joint meeting is for the purpose ot arriving at a basis for adjustment. Wants Water Question on Ballot The special committee from the council that has been charged with the duty of meeting with the officials of the water company and getting some expression from them as re gards the possible purchase of tbe plant, reported that It had not ob tained a different figure than the one originally made. The mayor rec ommended that the proposition of the purchase of the plant be sub mitted to the people at the coming election, when it could be done with out added expense. He said tbat he believed that it would be a most economical thing for the city to pur chase the plant upon tbe basis of a bond issue of $120,000, with interest at five per cent, the state public utilities commission having placed the value of the plant, less deprecia tion, at $119,700. Members of the council said that they had heard no public clamor for the submission of the question, but all were agreed to the proposition, providing that 16 per cent of the voters petitioned, as required by law.
