Mayor Buckingham Secures Free City Water From Hydraulic Co
Negotiations between Bridgeport Hydraulic Co and Mayor E. T. Buckingham yield a near free water deal for the city. The hydrant service bill, about 12 000 yearly, and large portions of meter and sprinkler charges are cut or reduced while metered water remains for a small fee. The move is framed as a major taxpayer saving over the remaining 16 years of the old contract.
