CITIZENS WOULD BUY PLANT
Valuation Fixed by Court Seem.
Satisfactory to Many.
C0UNCILMEN APPEAR FAVORABLE
If o tlhjertloaa Are Raised and
Coward Accepts, Will Re Possible
to Take Water System la
Month.
There were many expressions of opinion
.rvster.lar concerning the $.".:.crt) valuatl-r
placed upon the city's water plant by the
court of condemnation. While there was
a general note of disappointment on ac
count of the high price fixed, there was a
remarkable unanimity of opinion that the
time for action has arrived and that noth
ing would he gained by any attempt to
ccure a reduction of the price to be paid
for the plant.
fleveral city officials and a number of
attorneys made estimates of the probable
cost of litigation that would follow an ap
peal from the decision of the condemnation
court.
The estimate ranged all the way from
a few thousand dollars to $30,000, wlth-tha-
additional loss and damage to the city by
the year of delay that would be certain
to follow.
Opinion were asked from score of
business and professional men and heavy
taxpayers, and not one failed to express
the conviction that the proper course to
pursue now l to accept the findings of
the court and take over the plant at the
earliest practical moment. There waa also
an entire absence of criticism of the court.
The high character of the Judges and the
conscientious work they have bestowed
upon their task were freely acknowledged.
It was also noted that there wa no ad
verse opinion among the members of the
court. Their verdict was unanimous and
the result of conclusions carefully reached.
Report to Council.
The findings of the court will be offi
cially reported to the city council at the
meeting on Monday evening. At first It
waa believed that there would be consider
able opposition, possibly enough to pre
vent the acceptance of the award, but a
majority of the members yesterday ex
pressed the opinion that nothing could be
gained by delay and the matter should be
settled at once. A oanvaaa of the council
yesterday afternoon showed six of the
eight member in favor of Immediate
aotlon, with one of the minority i unde
cided. If. at the meeting on Monday evening,
the council accept the valuation the plant
may become the property of the city
within thirty day a No official action is
required except the Instructions to negoti
ate the sale of the $600,000 worth of water
bonds. The resolution providing for the
Issuance of theae bonds was passed by
the council two years ago. and all that
la necessary now la to advertise for bids
for the purchase of the bonds. No diffi
culty 1 anticipated In disposing of the
bond at a premium. They will draw 4 per
cent Interest and will run twenty year.
Before the preaent litigation commenced
the city had about $40,000 In Its water works
sinking fund. The cost of the condemna
tion will be about $10,000. so the city will
have, approximately. $180,000 available at
once to enlarge the plant. This will be In
sufficient to carry out the plana outlined
by Mr. William for the Installation of a
hill service system that will cover all of
the hill dlstrlots and provide for th lay
ing of larger main In the South Main
street district, but will be ample to de
velop the plant to a point where It will
give adequate service throughout the
greater part of the city.

Vote AajaJnat Free Prod acts.
The attempt to amend the agreement
began with the final reading of the- bill
at 3 o'clock. The threats of republicans
opposed to the measure to make the demo
crats vote against amendments for free
meat, free lumber and f roe agricultural
machinery were carried out, but as their
party leader declared that any amend
ment would defeat the whole trade agree
ment they cheerfully voted theae amend
ments down.
The republicans, who taunted them with
opposing free admission of theae Important
products, were met with the assertion that
the democrats would lay the new "farmers'
free list bill" before the house next week
and that an opportunity would then be
given to vote for free meat, machinery,
lumber and other thing. This defense wa
met by republican standpatters with the
charge that the democrat knew the free
1st bill could not pas the senate nor
secure the president's approval, i
Attempts to put fresh and canned meat
on the free list section were made by
Representatives Martin of South Dakota,
Foater of Vermont. I.enroot of Wisconsin
and Norrls of Nebraaka Representative
I .enroot finally proposed the whole demo
cratic free list bill as an amendment, and
although Representative Sherley of Ken
tucky, who was presiding, ruled that It
was in order, the democrat voted against
the motion.
The section of the bill relating to the
free admission of pulp and papes provoked
the sharpest discussion, drawing from
Representative Mann of Illinois, the repub
lican leader, the statement that it waa
exactly In the terms agreed upon hy the
two countries. Former Speaker Cannon
bitterly attacked this section.
Reduction Wonld Violate Relations.
Representative Long worth of Ohio pointed
out that any reduction of duties, a pro
posed In the free list amendments, would
violate the relations between the United
State and all other countries, as It would
give Canudlan goods a special preference
In the American market.
"I challenge the statement that we are
going to pass the free list bill later with
the expectation that It will not become
law," aaid Democratic Deader Underwood
in reply to statements from republican op
ponents of the reciprocity bill.
"The free list bill will become law, or
the republican senate that kills It or the
republican president that vetoes It will
never be heard from again."

The anxiety of anticipation still throbs
In the breasts of the candidates for the
position of dog catcher, and their condition
is all due to that second adjournment of
the city council Thursday night. Had that
meeting been held the appointment would
have been made and "The Count," as
John Zukowskl I known, would have
learned whether his aspirations for a
second term of office were to fructify into
the satisfaction of success.
There are two other competitors for the
office. Tom Reagan of Indian Hill, and
Jim Campbell, and It is rumored that two
