before the council of General Supt
Bjrain C H Morrill and A B Minor
three stockholders of the McCook Water
Wonts Co
These gentlemen submitted a state
ment of receipts and expenses for the
year 1908
The item of expenditures totals 10
010S3
Tbe income is given at 81209G86
The net income for 1908 is placed at
82 0S003
Ihe gentlemen claim for the company
that the rate is not remunerative under
the present ordinance and were most
anxious to get together with the city on

figures just given to go into the city
treasury
It is perhaps unnecessary to state that
no action was taken by the council It
is highly improbable too that a settle
