Austin Debates City Water Franchises and Ward Leadership

It notes negotiations for purchasing the Austin Engine House by Chicago, concerns over a possible deficiency judgment in Cicero, and praise for Alderman Hunter's push for Chicago water. The water fund is described as elastic, moving from a $400,000 shortfall to a $40,000 credit in six months under Mayor Swift.
