PRICE FIXED ON WATERWORKS Board Appraises its Value at Over Half Million. I CITY OFFICERS DISAPPOINTED j AalaaHoa'ef M:t.-,ou Espeeted and (It? Mar Kot Arrrpt the Re part of the Illatrlrt todaes. The three district court Judges constltut Ins; the court of condemnation. , Rave out their decision last evening, fixing the value 'f the Council Bluffs water plant at $510, tOO. The decision was reached late yester day and formulated In time for the court reporter to get out his official copies for th. city's representatives anil the attorney for the water company shortly before ( o'clock. The valuation was considerably higher than the city's representatives anticipated and It Is feared may arouse soma opposi tion to Its acceptance by the council. The contract between te city and the water company and the state law under' which the condemnation proceedings were brought provide that If either sldo refuses to accept the award of the appraisers the one re fusing niUHt pay the entire coats of the proceedings. The hearing has been under way nearly two months and the total cost Is approximately J30.000. If the city re fuses to accent It will not have to pay all of this sum, as the laic provides for the payment of only M a day as fees for expert wineFses. The cost, however, will be ap proximately 120,000. The city may now accept the appraise ment and take Immediate possession of the plant or It may appeal to the district court and continue to carry it upward to the court of appeals, entailing expensive liti gation and years of paralyzing delay, or it may refuse at once to accept it and proceed with the original plans to build a new plant. HIT Attorneys Disappointed. Attorneys Kimball and Tlnley, represent ing the city, said last evening: "We are both disappointed In the amount of the finding. We did not expect a finding above (436,000. We have not been advised of the method by which the court reached its conclusions, but cannot conceive of ar riving at this value without allowing a larger sum for going vnlue than we an ticipated. It is also evident that the court did not allow as much for depreciation as we believed should have v-n allowed. We prefer to first investigate ' the basis of the findings and 4jen present our conclu sions and opinions to the city council." Manager Edward W. Hart of the water company and also its receiver, expressed lit disappointment "We thought the award should have been at least 1530,000. W. know the plant is worth that amount and much more to the city." Manager Hart said he had no authority to say what ac tion the court and the. bondholders would take, but that the company went into the arbitration court in good faith and was prepared . to abide the decision of the judges. The tacit - offer of the company, made through its attorney, tieorge 8. Wright, while the hearing was In progress, to con sider an' offer of (500,000 and end all litiga tion, is now recalled with some regret. It would have saved. nearly (20,000. The board of Judges stipulated In closing )ts report that the earnings of the company shall be retained by the Corporation until tbe city pays over the purchase price and takes possession. ' The conclusion of the report was as follows: "It in understood by this court that the earnings of the water company are to-be retained by It until such date as the plant and property is paid for by the city and turned over to the city of Council Bluffs, at which time the title to all of said prop erly shall vest in said city. Provided, how ever, that the water works company shall have the use of the books of current ac count for the purpose of collecting the ac counts belonging to fald company. We fur ther find that the witnesses in tills case are entitled to the fees as set forth In the Itemised account attached hereto, and that the other costs as set forth therein and all of the costs in this proceeding to be taxed to tbe city of Council Bluffs."
