COMMUNICATED,
Editor The Valley Record.
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

erty and must be pald for at its full

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-

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

{men and to have handled the people's
imoney with bconomy apd good judg-

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.
