HoTVIIs the History of Ihn Wiitr Works ( 'iiiiipanj' Tronlilrn , O.MMM , Fob. 13. To tbo Editor of Tin : ltd : : The reports recently published in the water works ease do not clvo certain Import ant Information which Is necessary to n proper undi-rstniidlng of the mailer. Pieaso dome Iho favor to publish Iho following : My toiler lo Mr. Underwood wns wrllten under the following circumstances , viOn : the consolidation of the Omaha nnd Denver water works last April six dlioctors repre senting Omaha auU six representing Denver were elected , nndV. . A. Underwood wns agreed upon in the thirteenth. I was of the Omaha party.Vucn \ trouble commenced I wanted tn got out , ns 1 had oulvn small in terest , nnd did not rare , under the circum stances , to increase it , ns I had before in tended. Mr. Underwood resigned nnd his resigna tion was nccoptod , leaving twelve directors , neither OmahanorDenver havingn majority. The Denver party attempted to ro-olcot Mr. Underwood against the wishes of Mr. Vernier nnd Mr. Vlallo of the Omaha parly. A nuarrol ensued nnd n strug- nlo for the control of Iho dlroclorv began. Hnd I resigned unconditionally and refused lo act it would have been unfair ami unjust to my associates. I requested Mr. Under wood , who was working with the Denver party , to arrange to hnvo my resignation ac cepted nnd permit Mr. Vennor to name my successor , which would have loft mailers in Iho same position nnd relieved mo. By stating that t should net tbo dummy In the Interest of Messrs. Vennor Ai Co , I meant only so far as tl'o personal in to reals of the two factions conlllcted , Ihe question of Ihe conduct of Ihu nllairs of Ibo company or of its policy not being then under considera tion , but simply the question of control. Mr. Underwood well knows that I did not moan that I would favor the interests of Veunor & Co. ngalnst the water worus company if they should conflict. Now wi'.h respect to the hydrant ren tal. January 1 , 1MU , the city owed Iho company 17,000 , and. the company owed J'JS,000 ; coupons duo that day , Sl'.MJOU ; additional coupons would become duo February - , ruary L' . 1V.L1 , upon the original MOO.OOO mort- gatro. The company was required by the terms of this mortgage to create n sinking fund in annual Installments , at that tlmo aggregating &W.GOO. No demand had been miulo for this fund nnd both Mr. Underwood and Mr. Vernier had told mo long before the present quarrel slartcd that they did not In tend to comply with it as it was not deemed necessary , the works having increased enormously in extent und valtro and $100,000 of Iho consolidated bonds having been deposited - posited with tbo trustee , which could bo sold as required for sinking fund purposes or for payment of the bonds at or before ni.iturlty. The hyur.iut rental ( originally SJl.OOO per annum ) wns pledged to secure the bauds , coupons and sinking fund , and the trustee was uuthori/cd to collect and receipt for the same , but the company did not surrender us right to col lect or the city agree to pay It to the Irusteo. The practice has always been for the company to collect of the city and pay its own coupons. Mr. Underwood appeared inOmahashortly before January 1. After the city council had allowed the bill ho served uolico on the public ofllcials ( representing himself as agent and attorney for the trustee ) that the money bo paid to the trustee for Iho sinking fund roquiremonls and Iho February , 189cou ppns. Aflor investigating the matter the city onicials paid the sum lo Iho company upon tbo receipt of tbo superintendent , Mr. Hunt , who bad collected it for several years past. The company owed the Omaha Na tional bunk a balance of S5.00J upon a note of the company for Slfi.OOO , endorsed by Mr. Underwood and duo nnd protested for non payment October ! ) , 1891 , which it was Im perative should bo paid. Four thousand dollars lars of Iho amount received from Iho city was used with other funds to pay that note , and Ibo balance , WII.UOO , was used lo pay Iho coupons which were duo. Mr. Vernier bad arranged lo have Ibo balance of Ihe § 93,000 coupons , except the Si,500 which have slnco been paid from the income , taken up nnd carried for six months , mostly nt ( i per cent 'merest without commission. Thu coupons duo February have since been paid from tbo income nnd no demand has been made of the company for thu sinking fund. Since I have boon associated with Mr. Von- nor in the management of the affalis of the company i have not been Inlluencod by him in nuy way ; neither ho nor I bos drawn ono cent of compensation or any inpnoy for any purpose except to pay our aclual legitimate expenses when absent from home upon Iho compnny'n business. I submit the facts without argument and without any criticism upon the notion of the honorable court or of tno publication mndo. The I at to i1 it somncd to mo would give the public , whoso confidence I dosl'-o to retain , tbo impression that I had ncted ngnlrsttho best interests of the cornpiny and had been guilty of misappropriation of funds , ncltner of which Is true.
