Lexington Waterworks Question Drives City Meeting

A mass meeting in Lexington debated whether to construct city owned water works or hire bonds for private builders. The committee led by Hon. We EX Chiles found the city has power to build and urged immediate bids from contractors to erect waterworks for twenty years use. The plan aims for the city to own facilities and supply clean water, with a running contract to the successful bidder and strict adherence to city plans. The report praised citizens’ unity and noted the problem stems from the water company’s alleged unfair conduct.
