Yuma Daily Sun, The (Newspaper) - October 14, 1955, Yuma, Arizona THE EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK OSBORN Remember back ten months ago when officials of the Arizona Water Company came to Yuma from Phoenix for the ex press purpose of winning approval of Yuma City Council for the trans ftr of the Yuma water The Sun at that time cautioned letting the water franchise be separated from the gas anc electric We suggested municipal ship as an alternative Others ed about it too And there were many in the com munity who felt that separating the water from the gas and tric would be an error But officials of Arizona Water Company as well as Arizona Pub lie Service had already cooked up their deal and they were m o s anxious to get their hands on tha Yuma franchise In the minds of Yuma City Councilmen I'm sure there were misgivings It was difficult at tha time to look ahead and see where it would all end And so it was that Mr Kenneth Knoblock executive vice presiden of the new water company brought himself to Yuma to do whatever was necessary franchise to transfer that In an appearance before Yuma City Council he noted that pal ownership was being discussed Then he made this First let us take over the water company then after we have it set up as a separate operation we'll be glad to sit down with you and talk about municipal ship If those are not the exact words they will accurately impression that the convey the new owners were promising to be cooperative if the city wished to talk about municipal ownership The name promise was made by Mr Knoblock to me personally M about the same time After having been promised friendly cooperation on this matter the Arizona Water Company is to refrain from all efforts direct or otherwise to make municipal ownership difficult or any other action that would impede the community's search for relief via municipal ownership Heavy Rains Pound East Bring Floods By UNITED PRESS Heavy pounded the eastern seaboard today flooding lowlands in
