I am requesting that you give space to what follows, to the end that every one may 'know the poeiUon of (he City OAetata In refarenee thereto. Shortly after the present Board name into office,. May 1911. a fire k _ occurred in the Morton Building early in the morning. In the afternoon of the name day another alarm ?a* Net in and upon an eraiulnatton of the water power gauge in the CityI I Hall it was found there was only a, pressure of fifteen pounds. . At aj thereafter, the Mayor was instructed to make a demand on the Water P Company for it to comply with its contract. A number of gentfemen representing the Water .Company, at s various times conferred with the committees and members of the Board,-bat nothing came from these conferences for the reason that those representing the Water Company v had nothing definite tp offer, farther than making certain suggestions as to what should be, done, and asking If the Board would deem these seggestions, Mparrled out, a compliance wHh.ttfecon tract. At all times the Board simply^reIterate? Its demand for a compliance with the terms of the contr u t and ^ refused in any way to define what improvements would be sufficient to enable the Company to do so. The * M reasons for this were. First: The members of the Board Were not engineers and feU that they wcrfe not competent to pass on the sufficiency BgUfffTons: Berond, 1t did not feel tbl&t he City should be tooued by their acceptance of ffny untried proposition, and that the only way , to determine the sufficiency of any gWen proposition was for the Company (9 put It in_ operation so that am actual test could be made. On May *28th, 1912. the following letter was written: V' "Washington Light and Water Co.. "City."Gentlemen: Nearly one year ago the Board of Aldermen of the City of Washington made a demand that your Company oomply with its contract. Nothing hue been done by ff~ yoe looking toward* thnt cffffr*ndTH~ the opinion of the Board something must be done for the protect I on^of > -41w pwywlj uwueis uf Uis'citi and its fotnre welfare. With this end In view the undersigned committee has been instructed by the Board of Aldermen to ascertain what sum your company will take for the present water plant and its appurtenances. "Please let us know at the earliest , possibly opportunity whether you will sell and if so at what price. "Respectfully, (Signed.) "Committee."

Leach, nothing was accomplished, but Capt. Leach suggested that certain rclnforcenreats be made to the plant to be operated by power from the Eureka Mill, and desired the Board to express Itself as to whether or not it would be satisfied with this. "the officials of the Water Company have admitted repeatedly that it -sennet eanaplr-with-the--requireT.-.ents of the contract. In view of these facts, the present fioart) deemed it wise pot to pay for what -the Company Itself admitted It could not give, and former Boards bad endeavored in vain to get, realising that If their action wss arbitrary QC-nnlnst the Company had its remedy in the Courts. So fer as 1 am aware there has bpen no conscious effort"oh tbe-part of the present administration to 'mould public sentiment against the that several mass meetings wero had under the auspices 6f the Board at wtHch all rptftters were laid before the paopf^Tican be construed as such. On the contrary every effort has been made to get at an adequate add fair settlement which could be submitted to the people so that they might say whether or not It should be ratified. Reverting to the appraisal had by th&- Company and the City and the attitude of the Board of Aldermen in regard to not being willing to give tho Water Company a 'square deal'. briefly the facts are.as follows: Col. < Ludlow's report showed an actual physical valuation of $?7,600.00. In this valuation was comprised the wells, pumps, piping about station and other Items, amounting to some- < thing over $7,000.00, which the ] Board of Aldermen feels, in view of) the attitude of the State Bdard of Health and the requirements of the. fnsuraiice Underwriters, would ba ofj no value to the City. If the present > plant were acquired, it would be necessary according to englneere, to [ reinforce the present pipe lines at an mpenditure of not leas than 96,000.- 0 )0; to secure a source of supply of ' jipe lines frOm this -supply to^the 3lty.
