READ THE CASE FULL PAGE ADVERTISEMENT George F. West, Recent Purchaser of Plint, Says that He WU1 Put In All Reasonable Improvements, and Accept Any Rea sonable Franchise, or Sell At A Fair Prise. - That (ieorge F. West is making a favorable impression in regard to the local water works situation cannot be doubled to have purchased the IMatts uiouth' water plant about a month ago. He is a Portland. Maine, capitalist, and owns a number of water plants. He is an expert in all that makes up a water plant ami system and does not have to take t he word of ot hers to tell him whether a plant is capable of uiv ing good service or not. Mr. West got in touch with the mayor and the Commercial club ollitlicials yesterday and told them he was going to spend at least $10,000 in improving the plant. After looking over it he saw that a new pumping house, a new boiler and a new pump were needed. He talked lo the city officials and Commercial club officers about a new franchise. He said that lie desired to find out what the city wanted and that that was the object of his visit here. He Is willing to make all reasonable im provements, give as reasonable rates as possible and accept a franchise as favorable to the city tl ill I........ I,.'.. n ... ,nl.tn West is said " u,c """ a i"aoiittuiw in- inrii on nis investment. If the city desires to buy the plant, he said, he will be willing to sell it at a price agreed upon by experts called in by both sides, or in any other way that will be satisfactory to both sides. Mr. West will meet the City officials and members of the Commercial club tomorrow morn ing in a conference, and the en tire water situation will be dis cussed. There is an element here thai is in favor of the city buying the water plant, and also the light plant, and run the two together. They believe that the city- can pay for the bonds used for buying the plants out of the profits and from the savings to the city because of free light and water. At the pres ent time the city pays thousands of dollars a year to the water and light companies. The franchise of the water company will expire in the spring.
