Payout of Bond Issue in Municipal Water Fight
San Antonio contemplates municipal ownership of its water system as a major issue in the next mayoralty campaign. The public utilities committee and Alderman Lipscomb press for a fuller Potter report detailing whether a city takeover can be achieved at reasonable cost. Potters draft estimates put plant value at about 2 million dollars with municipal ownership cost around 2.89 million, signaling a potential path to city control if the supplemental report supports the plan.
