The voters of this village are read- ing In every issue of every paper at the present lime circulated here that the Citizens’ ticket is nominated in the interest of the Waverly Walter Company. The articles are either signed or inspired by O. H. Lawrence, the candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket. | am certain that no candidate on the Citizens’ ticket has ever been guestioned by any stockholder of the Water company as to his position on the water ques tion, but siace Presidént Lawrence eems to base his claim for rg-elec- tion upou what he has done in the water matter, and seeks to create pub- to whether his attitude and accom- plishments in this matter are to the interests of the people. The petition to the Beard of Trus- ices upon which the proposition was submittéd to the taxpayers to pur- chase the Water Works for not to exceed $125000 was circulatéd prin- cipally by Mr. I. Grant Dodge and received the earnest support of Mr Lawrence and others now particu- larly interested in the election of the Republican ticket. Many tax- payers will remember receiving at that time a circular letter which was tus at the office of the Lawrence- Letts Elbow Co, in which letter it was stated that there could be no law sult over the acquisition of the Water Works and that the company could | gel nothing for its franchise because there was a condition in its franchise that the same could be taken over by! the village. These propositions were | disputed by the Water Company, but the taxpayers evidently thought tha such dispute arose from self-interest " What has been the result? Th village “found It necessary to inst tule a law suit which has now been running a year and a hall and po- thing has been accomplished The village secured the services of Engl- neer Virmeulye of [thaca, who esti- at ubout $105,000 for coustruction and said that nothing could be al- lowed for the franchise. He had just previously estimated the value of the Ithaca plant at $226,000. The V¥il- lage hired Attorney Bell of Waverly and Attorney Horton ‘and Attorney Tompkins of Ithaca, the two latter being the same attorneys who had charge of the Ithaca condemnation. They maintained at Ithaca that noth- ing could be awarded for the fran- chise. Since then the Ithaca decision has been made In which instead of got §66x000, of which the item for franchise alone was $175,000 Any voter who wishes can examine the franchise of the Waverly Water Company on file in the records of the Village Clerk, and he will flnd that there is no condition in the same that the franchise can be acquired by the village If the accuracy of President rence’s present claims (s-to be by Law- tested the acuracy of his past claims In this matter, how much consideration is to be given to them now? It the contention of the Witer company that Its franchise and water rights worth several times its physical property In a case decided at Baltimore a por- tion of the plant was taken for which $22,000 was awarded for physical prop- erty and $210,000 for franchise. At [thaca there are many different sup- plies and the water has to be pumped at an annual cost for coal of $10,000 and filtered at great cost besides, and yet $175,000 was awarded for fran- chise. At Waverly the supply Is ex- The water runs down hill and 1s absolutely pure. The franchise as granted is perpetual. The company does not dispute but that the franchise can be acquired by the village, or whether or not it was advisedly given, it was given, Is prop- erty and must be pald for at its full value Not would is are actual recently clusive even President Lawrence now maintain that this prop erty can be acquired for the $105,000 offered . or the §$126.000 voted No- body can honestly contend that it can $3150.000 Mr. Lawrence proposition puls up the voters when ,k he asks to be re-elected upon the sole ground that he wishes to continue the present litigation uuder the present circumstances. He concedes in the newspapers that If the award Is more than $105,000, the village must pay the Company's expenses up to five per cent upon the award besides all of its own. He concedes that if the award is more than $125,000, the pro- ceeding must fall because only that money “is voted and the village will have itd own expenses and probably to Fringed Shades . ceeees 80 and She & FL very pretty, only CORSET COVERS, values All sorts of fancy 59 and 98c. * 25 and G0c; good little Candy Boxes SL.

Why.does he ask to be iiiowed to continue litigation that will result in expense to the village of at least 375,000? The answer is plain. The Issue is | not the Water question. The issue is i whether President Lawrence and his | astociates have proven themselves (o be careful and considerate business {men and to have handled the people's imoney with bconomy apd good judg- {ment Mr. Lawrence hopes to divert ‘attention from the overdraft in the {village funds of about $3,000, from the {large amount of unpaid bills on file band the unpaid expenses of the vari- litiatigons in which he bas In- volved the village by setting up a istr@w man to be knocked down, by | ratsing a cry against the Water Com- {pany in the expectation of arousing public passion and In the hope of of securing hisown unbusinesslike recotd in-agblic administration. As for the [ay Company, its position Is safe in the courts. It has been forced to fight a now admitted unjust and iil- advised suit. It can continue to do so but its members have fully /as much at heart in the interests of this village and have fully as much at stake financially as Messrs. Lawrence, Dodge and Farley. The Water Com- pany would welcome the election of the Citizen's ticket because it believes that under it there would be a chance {tor a more temperate and economical governtfent. § ous - J. T.
