This letter presents a matter of
legitimate public interest and it
shall have candid and respectful
answer. It calls for information
which it is proper for the public lo
have at Hitch a time as this.
The litilletiu's statement referred
to in the letter of Mr. Davies w-a
based on information, received
from hcveral reputable citizens, to
the clTcct that the recent attempt
to extend the limits of Dend had its
5 right In a "frame-up" for a frail
hlse grab. To state the matter
plainly, Alderman M. J. Kelley,
Alderman T. W. Triplet!, Mnyoi

worked through the Common
Council. The foundation for this
job wuyi to Ik: an extravagant ex
tension ot the city boundaries, mi
that the Council would Lave juris
diction to grunt u water und light
franchise 111 the greatly enlarged
nrcu.
John Stcldl, well known as a
square and responsible citizen, was
one of the men to whom the fran
chise scheme wus unfolded. In
order that there may be no mistake
ulxiut the mutter Mr. Sleidt's own
statement is here given:
Some time Istl ipring Alderman M.
J. Kelley of Ileud came tome in AM rich
& Uubht' place Itlic corner now occupied
by Taggart'i) and atkett me if I didn't
want to put tome money into a water
and light proportion for the town. I
replied that there wat nothing in it. fot
I wat then telling my ttock In the Html
Water, Light iV I'ower Co. at jo cent
on I lie dollar. Then he tald It could be
made a good thing by Inking hi addi
tional territory ami getting a frauchite
from the eity. lie Mid the Council
could be depended on to pt the necev
tarv meaturaa, and named Aldermen
Tripletl and Oneil at Handing with him
iKelley) ami Mid the Mayor wat alto
favorable I atked who wat Iu the
deal and lie Mid himtelf, Tom Triple tt,
S. C CaMwell and Dint Whtltrd (Cald
wvll't clerk). Tile meaning eunwyetl
wnt that Whittcd wouhl preteut the ap
plication for n Irauchite and the Couucil
would grant It.
I.ajrr (tome lime iu July, inncArlya
I can reniemlxrl Alderman Kelley again
talkeil with me about the matter I met
him iu the road north of the pumping
ttatlou. I kicked alxjut the water pota
tion from the uumerout tenia 011 the
riter Utuk Then he ntked why I
didn't get in on lite propotl water deal
ami enlarge the eorpuratc liuutt ot
Ilend I Hiked Mr. Kelley why he did
uol himtelf put up the ueccMarv inone)
to uy the excute, and he rephot thai
It would uol be well for him to do to
while occupying a teat iu the Council,
but that hit term wmld be out by the
time the frauchite, would be completed
and he would then be in potitiou to put
up tii'incy and take other active intcretl
in the euterprite. I atked him what he
thought tuch a fanehite would be worth
and he Mid it ought to be worth f $0,000
A few davt later than lint taik with
Alderman Kelley I met Alderman Tom
Trlrdett oti the ttrccl near the bow lime
alley and atked htm aliout the proixed
water and light frauchite. lie tohl me
to go and tee Clint Whitted. lie miiI
Whittexl would talk with me. became he
(Tripletl) wat In the Couucil.
I'rom the information thus acquired
from thcte partiet I concluded 11 wat
wite to take tlept for protection ol n)
own Interettt, and that it why I ob
tallied (rum the County Court a water
and light (rauchUe (or I.ylle and River
tide. John Stkidu.
This clear and circumstantial
statement is corroborated by si mi
lar information given by member
of the clique to other citizens and
members of the Council. It is not
I tKissiblc to controvert such testi
, inony.
1 Fairness requires it to be stated
that S. C. Caldwell was not Mayor
J when Kelley talked with Steidt
lahoiit this job, and the reference
then made to the Mayor s favor
did not pertain to Caldwell. He
was separately mentioned as one of
those to benefit from this franchise
scheme. Hut the official minutes
of the Council meeting of Septem
Ikt 6 recite that "011 motion of
Aid. Kelley, seconded by Aid
Oneil and unanimously carried,
Sumuel C. Caldwell was elected
Mayor to serve until the Dec.,
into, election." The public is en
titled to this fact to consider in con
nection with the statement of Mr.
Stcidl. Another fact for the public
is that Kd Kelley, the present
night police officer, ts a brother of
Alderman Kelley nud was ap
pointed to his present position by
Mayor Cnldwll. These facts are
given without comment, and
whether they have any connection
with the alleged franchise ring or
"frarac-up" is for the public to
judge.
The uulletiii has attempted here
to give the information called for
tV Mr. Davies.' letter. Now will
he be ns Iratik to tell what ground
he has for thinking The Bulletin,
or anybody connected with it, has
a scheme to cast o-liuru on nut-going
Couuetlmeu iu order that valuable
property may escape taxation and
that franchises may be controlled
by "certain parties?" A newspa
per is a semi-public institution
tnd if its course on public ques
tions is not guided by consideration
:or the best public good it is a hyp
icritc and a humbug and the public
should Tcnow it. Mr Davies ha
the freedom of our .column- for a
-datemenl upon this point. We do
not demand of him facts for ot
course h? has none. Hut what re
ports, rumors, insinuations, im
pressions, guesses or imaginings
lead him to this opinion? And are
they of a character that should
weigh with an intelligent man, such
4S Mr. Davies is?
Mr. Davies asks us to say how to
get the nty water taken out of the
rivet above the town instead of be
low it. Thi is hardly our bus
iness, but we will suggest that sev--ral
ways are possible and the
Council aud the company should
consult about it. The one thing
the Council should insist upon is
that public health requirements be
respected. The company should be
eft to its own method to achieve
this end, if the end be really
achieved. It woukl be a mistake
to start out to "cinch" the water
company because somebody may
"have it in" for tt. If the com
pany should refuse to give atten
tion to this very reasonable request
pressure .should be brought to bear.
We believe this matter could be ad
justed without special difficulty.
