others. Attorneys appeared be

shall nd J. S. Coleman, Presi
dent of the Company, was appoint
ed receiver and has taken charge
of the electrlo line to Weaverville. I
It is asserted that the debts of
the company are around S6,000
with bonds of 8 12,000 held by the
estate of Mary H. Howland. Mr.
Howland In bringing the suit aot
ed as executor of tha estate of
Mrs. Howland.
It was announced yesterday that
the Una will continue In operation

courts. However, It Is stated, an
effort will be made to locate pros
cective buyers In an effort to real

Interesting In connectlln with
the filing at the suit Is tits status
of proposed Beaver Lake, 1 plan

L.-s'evlew Corporation, as tha line
is below the proposed water line
of the lake. ?
- Negotiations with -tho company
for the moving of the line to a
higher point were under way some
time ago, but were halted after
efforts to reach a Satisfactory
agreement failed. It was learned
yesterday that negotiations had
been resumed a short time ago and
an agreement reached, but failure
of certain bond holders to sign the
necessary papers halted this move.

Waddel', Presents
Recomn icnda tions
in submitting a written report
to tho commissioners. Mr. Wad
dell, having made an intensiv
stuay or the water supply for tho
cuy, gives recommendations for
iiunuiHv program to extend over a
perira or years coincident with the
city'a growth and demand. The
are as follows:
"First: Construction of an TJn-
pr Reservoir on Bee Tree Creak
numaiea cost ibuv.uuu. Minimum
Ume required to build about one
year. Advantage over other sites
Is that It will keep the It Inch
main from Bee. Tree flowing con
tiguously at its full capacity.
"Second: Install rainfall guages,
meiers and similar devices to keen
an accurato record ot the available
water, the inflow and outflow of
tho system. The cost will not be
large, 'but I cannot state a figurt
as I do not know how many Dub
lin buildings and other places are
not metered.
"Third: Construct a reservoir ta
supply the higher altitudes. In
stall eleorrlo pumps and save the
overflow now wasting Into Cripple
Creek by pumping it to the new
reservoir.
In the report which follows tho
recommendation Mr. Waddell says:
"This teport is an attempt t3
formulate a policy for the deve'
opment and extension of the wat
system through the years to come
to meet an increasing population
an ultimata ot possibly 100,000
The plan oontemplated Is for a
development made in a way that
each step Is an addition to the
s stent and will not require scrap
ping of materials or abandoning
previous construction.'
"The Immediate problem now
facing t he city Is an adequate
supply cf " water during the low
season, and also to furnish better
pressurs to outlying districts and
tho higher altitudes such as Sunset
Mountain.
Mi. Sherrlll haa given the prob
lem much thought and his sug
gested plan Is, in my judgment,
wise and feasible. Briefly stated,
his plan to construct a,n adequate
impounding reservoir on one of tho
watersheds and to provide greater
tesorvolr capacity near the city.

WOULD BE FINANCED
All Qualified to Vote Must
Register Especially
for Election. -
Having been urged by a com
mittee of deeply Interested cltlr.ens
who. weeks ago 'pi-esented petitions
containing the required number of
signatures of qualified voter! of
the city, to gain legal significance,
tho Board of City Commissioners
yesterday Issued a call for a special
election on August 28 to determine
the will ot the taxpayers relative
to the floating of tl, 000, 000 for
parks, playgrounds, community
buildings, athletlo fields and an
approach from West Ashevllle.
Regardless of the fact the pro
ject hod been thrust aside by the
commissioners because of the
Democratic primary on June 8, the
enthusiastic committee, that urged
the step, made known they were
going to push the matter and did
not intend to let up until the
broad movement is decided at the
polls. Confusion would have re
sulted, It was said, had the election
come before the primary because
ot the new registration ordered by
the County Board of Elections in
the city at that time.
Registration books, will be
opened Monday, July 24 and
closed on August 12. The Issue at
stake means that, if the voters so
desire, more than a half million
dollars alone will be spent in the
acquisition of and Improvement of
municipal parks and playgrounds.
. The committee appearing before
the commissioners consisted of
Dr. E. B. rtlenn, Archibald Nichols,
R. R. Williams, S. P. Burton and
others. They came before the com
missioners after a rousing gather
lng Friday evening; st the Cham
ber of Commerce. The board In
formed the gentlemen the election
would be called the earliest pos
sible moment under the law and
Instructed the clerk to look after
the matter.
In order to have a jroice In the
question every quallftea voter must
register, especially tor tne election,
no matter how many times he has
registered before.
Just after the bond election was
authorized. Commissioner R. J.
Sherrlll at ' thla point introduced
the resolution calling for the
floating ot additional bonds to tho
amount of more than 1800,000 for
a now impounding basin on Bee
Tree -Water Shed and expenditures
for other municipal improvements.
A total of mora than 81,800,000
In bonds is the question to be de
cided upon. Of this amount the
voters will decide on the larger.
With such a large program In
view and the passage last year of
the statute which caused the Is
suance of 1650,000 in bonds for
new school buildings, Ashevllle Is
believed to have' set a paca In
rapid municipal Improvements,
which will be hard for any city of
Its slsa to equal.
Tomorrow evening at I o'clock
at tha Chamber of Commerce a
special meeting has been called for
discussion of ths big issue, which
had its origin several months ago
at a series of meetings attended by
representatives from many iclvic
organisations and other interested
