of the deed providing for an annual payment
of $10,250 to be applied as a sinking fund
has not been complied with. In a second petition -

Referring to ( he sinking fumid time Plaintiff
sets up the facts that on December 12 , 1ES1 ,
a supplemental agreement was entered Into
between the trust company anti the water
works company which provided that at the
end of every twelve months , the first of suim
I periods commencing October 1 , 1884 , the
sum of $10,250 should be meserved and paid
over nil a sinking fund for the redemption of
tIme boimfis secured by the mortgage. One
, of the cladses in the original trust deed uro-
rided that the provision as to the sinking
fund might be modified by consent of the
majority of the bondholders.
iIoiiIItetitIoii IN ApiLrent.
The trust comnnanv ahleacs that on or
about July 5. 1884. there Was placed on record -
ord an instmunmemit purporting to be a contract -
tract between the water works company and
the American Construction company , ( lie
latter assuming to be the thea holder of tIme
majority of the boimds , which modified the
provision as to the sinking fund by chamig-
jag time date that the payments of $10,20
were to commence from October 1 , 181 , to
October 1 , 1855. If this modification of the
original contract is valid and operative the
trust company claims there is due and owing
as part of the sinking fund pledged the sum
of 520.500. hut if time modiilcation of time contract -
tract is not valid then there Is due the sum
of $132,250. as no stun has ever been paid on
the sinking fund and interest on time several
sunis of $10,250 each from December 1 , 1885 ,
and let day of December in. each and every
year thereafter. This agreement enterel
into with the American Construction corn-
'pany modifying the provision of the trust
deed as to the sinking fuad payments , the
rdaintiff alleges1 was miever filed with it.
The filing of the suit yesterday came as a
great surprise to the loodi management , as
there has been no intithation that such was
'Intended or. eyjn thought of : E. W. Hart ,
maimager , and Messrs. Wrght & Baldwin ,
the' company's attorneys , said that the fliiimg
of the proceedings was a great surprise to
( item anti the first notification that suit was
contemplated , Mr. Baldwin said. be had advices -
vices 'that all the interest had' been paid.
With regard to the sinking fund , the moneys
that should have gone into it had been cx-
nenlecI in improving the property and en-
hiancing its value , As to The charges of mismanagement -
management , that he said lie would leave
for the people to judge ( or themselves , as
tIme citizens of Council i3luffs knew differ-
entiy.
Jteorgnnlziitlon Is ! ntendeal.
The suit , it is understood , is being brought
by a reorganization comanmittee of the bondholders -
holders with W. W. Skiddy of New York
at the head. Messrs. Han & McCabe , local
attorneys for time plaintiff , stated yesterday
that ( lie bondholders were dissatisfied anal
realized tlmat the capital of the company
was insufflcieflt to make it a paying concern -
corn anal that they intended reorganizing
anl increasing the capital.
In addition to the flrst mortgage there is
a second mortgage on the plant ( or $ i50-
000 given to Vi. J. Sewahi and I. 1' . Lyon ,
who are named as co-defendants ia time
suit , and a third mortgage of $1,000.000
given to the Atlantic Trust company , also
named as one of time defendants. This niort-
gage was gIven for the purpose of retiring
the first anal second mortgages and securing
mnommey to makn certain Imurovements and
extensions. lint the bowls have never been
floated. TIme bondholders of the water works
company are mnostiy New York parties , the
