The differences of opinion existing among
the councilman aa to the best methods to
pursue In securing an adjustment of the
water works question resulted In an ex
ceedingly stormy session of the city coun
cil yesterday afternoon. The "retort cour
teous" was passed freely among the mem
bers and at one time It looked aa If there
might be a personal encounter between
Chairman Wallace of the special water
works committee and one of the council
men, who took exception to some of Mr.
Wallace's Insinuations.
The reading of a communication from
General Manager Hart of the water works
company precipitated the trouble, and
Councilman Wallace's Ire was further
aroused when by a vote of 6 to 8 the coun
cil reconsidered Its action of Monday night
In adopting the following resolution of
Wallace and then ordered It laid on the
table:
Resolved, by the city council of Council
BlurTs. Thnt It be the sense of the council
that the special water committee acting
for this body, shall In Its negotiations with
the Council BlurTs City Water Works com
pany consider the value of the water plant
owned by said company to be not In ex
cess of the valuation placed upon said
piunt by our consulting engineer and ex
pert, W. Klersted, namely, 85O0.948.
Letter from Manager Hart.
The communication from Manager Hart
was aa follows:
We regret very much that the council
has thought best to accept Its expert's ap
praisement as an arbitrary figure, which
the water works committee must use In
Its negotiations with the water company
for purchase and contract. This action of
the council as we understand It limits the
water committee to buying the water plant
at exactly the one-man appraisement or
adopting a rate schedule based upon this
set valuation, it Is beyond our ability to
understand the necessity or the Justice! of
any such act on the part of fhe council In
view of the fact that the expert who fixed
thla valun says In his letter of February
16, 1!07, that "some items of this inventory
are baaed upon meager data, etc.." and "I
can nee no reason why Mr. Alvord and I
ahould not agree upon Questions of fact
relating to quantities and having so agreed
there Is no reason why we should not cor
rect our respective estimates accordingly."
These statements of your engineer would
Indicate that the question of quantities may
have been erroneously estimated by botn
him and Mr. Alvord, and aa quantitlea have
aa much to do with the value of the plant
as do the prices, It would seem that the
council In thus arbitrarily fixing the price
has gone even farther than Its engineer
did in his appraisement.
It was stated In the council on Monday
evening that Mr. Alvord's estimate of the
value of the works waa made some two
weeks after the value fixed by Mr. Klersted
was made public. This la not true, aa a
preliminary figure of Mr. Alvord waa given
this company on January 7, the same day
that Mr. Kierated'a valuation waa made
public.
Whatever delay there was after that was
caused by the holding back of the details
MARKET, I f the report. These details were wanted
mVJ iimi niv vbiumiuii un in. u.it.71 miia
of the plant might be arranged so that
they could be compared understanding by
others than expert persona.
Mr. Alvord was requested to classify his
value) In the same manner that had been
followed by Mr. Klersted, all of which Mr.
Alvord did, so far a possible, at consid
erable expense to this company and to the
mere comprehensive understanding of the
persons who took the trouble to comparo
these reprte.
The principal delay was occasioned by
the Inability of this company to cbtuin a
ropy of Mr. Klersted's report to submit to
1 1'. Alvord as a form for the arrangement
nj damnification of his data upon which
c as to tlx the values aa found by him.
Mr. Alvord's principal values were found
jffore Mr. Klersted a report was known
to the public or to the water committee.
Unfortunately the progress of this ques
tion toward a settlement la seriously
checked by this refusal on the part cf the
council to consider any figure except the
one given by Mr. Klersted and the furthtr
refusal on the part of the council to huvc
the city's engineer confer with the com
pany's engineer as to quantities that may
have been figured In error.
The water company still stands In the
samu position on the question of contract
or sale as It did when on August 21, IOCS,
It made a proposition to the city council to
sen us property to tne city at such price
as might be agreed upon by a beard of
uppralsment selected by the city and com-
the deciding vote. This matter will be
brought up again at the meeting next Mon
day night, when all the members are ex
pected to be present.

COJDtCTOn BLAMED FOR ACCIDENT
Failed to Xotlee the Approach of
Freight Train.
"We find from the evidence produced that
the said Felton came to his death on Feb
ruary 19, LW7,V on South Main Btreet, at
the crossing of the Great Western railway,
by Jumping or being thrown from the rear
platform of a aouthbound motor car on
which he was a passenger, and being struck
and run over by a freight car of said Great
Western railway, and In our Judgment
said accident was caused by a lack of pre
caution on the part of the employes In
charge of said motor cnr."
The above verdict was returned by the
coroner's Jury at the Inquest held yester
day over Roy L. Felton, cashier of the
State bank of Underwood, la., whose death
resulted last Tuesday from a collision be
tween a Great Western freight train and
one of the large motors at the Great West
ern crossing on South Main street. Elmer
E. Smith. C. J. Stlllwell and C. A. Tlbblts
comprised the Jury. The Inquest was held
In the office of Coroner Treynor.
The testimony of Samuel E. Alger, con
ductor of the motor, and other witnesses,
tended to show that Alger did not notice
the approaching freight train until the
street car had. In response to his signal,
atarted across the tracks, and that he then
attempted to atop the car, and called to
the motorman to do so, but the latter.
deeming It unsafe to stop, put on full power
and attempted to cross the tracks and
avoid a collision.
Motorman McCabe testified that Conduc
tor Alger gave the signal to come ahead
aiid as he applied the power he looked
back Into the car to see that no one was
alighting or getting on. When he turned
around Alger was motioning to him to
atop. The witness said he aaw the freight
train, but the car had attained such speed
by that time It would have been unsafe to
have attempted to stop, and he turned on
the full power aa quickly aa possible.

the followers of the sport there point to
the fact that the battery, Fael and Rose
berry, considered to be one of the strong
est in the state; First Baseman Dovendorf
and Outfielder Counen, who played In 1904,
will be supported by a lot of classy ma
terial which has entered the school this
year.
I So strong ia the belief that Cornell will
! humble the larger state schools on the dia
mond this year that Manager DuBridge
has arranged the longest and hardest base
ball schedule that any Cornell team has
played through in several seasons.
I Among the new men mentioned as proml
' nent candidates for positions In the Infield
are Chlnn. McNanue, Holt and Pemberton,
Likely candidates for the outfield are Hunt,
Christy. Smith and Cole. Craft, formerly
aa outfielder on the Lenox college team,
and Bird, an old Cornell man, who has
. returned for another year's work, will also
1 compete for positions.
I Lane, who worked all last season aa
utility man. haa a good chance to play
regularly this year. Whitney la a new
pitcher, who cornea with a good record
and Gardner and Weat are trying out for
DacKstop.

brokers or was robbed cannot be definitely

and particularly the oil belt, have been
notified jto look out for the property.
