Water company faces opposition over city bills and artesian wells
Consolidated Water company, which sold the city water for ten dollars per share, faces growing pushback after the council rejected a 1 054.61 bill. Oil company charges of 578.76 are disputed, likely leading to legal action. Artesian wells show promising flow at Hendrick works with 2400 barrels daily, while a 600 foot well at Hendrick residence yields limited but improving water. Belmont Street silk mill reports 7 gallons per minute from 600 feet, potentially rising with pumping.

Tri bune Reveals Corrupt Ties in Surface Water Works Contract
One week ago the Tri bune exposed efforts by some council members to award the surface water works contract to non lowest bidders. Both branches unanimously approved James Thompson's resolution to grant the $6 606.75 contract to Flye and Loveland the lowest bidders. A joint session also adopted a plan to erect a tie alarm system on poles of electric light and telephone companies with major provisions including tax exemption for poles and space for wiring. General Manager Bevan indicated willingness to compromise. Work is expected to start soon.
