Court Clarifies Meaning of 1894 Water Contract
The article rejects that the 1894 city water agreement obligates payment for hydrants not supplied by the water company. It cites U.S. Supreme Court guidance to view contracts in full context and warns against reading a single sentence in isolation. The ruling emphasizes hydrant rentals pertain to hydrants furnished by the company and not to those provided by others or by the city itself.
