OMAHA, April lO.-To the Editor of The Bee: In the Herald of April 7 I notice a letter from K. B. Howell replying to the letter written by Q. W. Shield. In this letter Mr. Howell criticise Shield for (a he put it) getting too explicit Information a to the cost of needed extensions. Howell hint that Shield may have gotten hi In formation from Superintendent Hunt, but, mark you, ha doe not say that Shield' figure are not correct. He only throw out a slur a to where he got hi Information. Further on Howell say the Income of the water company I about SHO0.O0O. Doe he (Howell) alio get till Information from Superintendent Hunt? If ao, It la likely to be somewhere near correct. Or does he (Howell) guess at this, as he ha done be fore In hi estimate given to the public. Flat For Instance, Mr. Howell assured the taxpayer of Omaha that the plant wa not worth mora and could ba acquired for $3,000,000, which must have been false, since he la now advocating the purchase of the plant at S8.363.0ti0. Second Mr. Howell proclaimed from the housetops that the water company wa fighting hi compulsory purchase bill, which wa absolutely false, a they were helping to push It along, and Howell knew It. Third Mr. Howell assured the public that the water company would not appoint an appraiser when the city appointed Ita ap praiser and requested the water company to appoint one to represent It. This wa also false, for the water company appointed It appraiser Immediately after being re quested to do so by the city. Fourth Mr. Howell told the taxpayer that the water company would fight the Issuing of the 16.600,000 bond to complete the purchase, and he 1 still telling them so. This, Ilk all hi other statements, la false, a the water company haa It hire ling already boosting up sentiment favor ing the voting of these SS.BOO.O'O bond. Could the bondholder of the Omaha Water com pany have handled the whole deal any bet ter for themselves than Mr. Howell has handled It for them? Haa any action of his been for the benefit of the city? f it 1 true that the plant la worth W,500,000, which ha now want us to vote, why are the Water board lawycra paid to fight the purchase.
