Bchoifly said his object in-asking tho
questions was to ascortain if Council was
right in Its position.
Cable moved that tho special oloctlon or
dinance be adopted and Lamb seconded
tho motion.
Scholfly said he wanted Information on
tue question bo asked.
romeroyf "Purely they can make
a contract, but can we bind a corporation
on a proposition signed by tho secretary.
You have no proposition hero from tho
water company. It fs not a proposition;
merely an offer to mako an agrooment,
Tbo third question is for tho counsel for the
wator company to answer."
Gallagher said tho adoption of the ordi
nance should be well considered and mom
bers should look to tho possibilities in the
evont of tho spoclal election being defeat
od. Lamb said the tlmo had arrived when
tho peoplo should tako the responsibility of
the wator project ou tho shoulders of tbo
joint committee.
Doyors asked if tho committee had esti
mated tbo costof the works.
Lamb said the committee had prepared a
financial report and if any member of tho
Council would call upon tho committee ho
could receive information.
Gallagher thought tho information should
bo given at onco,
Lamb said tho works will cost, not in
accurate figures, but a party has mado an
ostimato and oilers a bond that tho works
will cost less than $100,000. IIo also stated
that tho party making the offor bad built
forty or fifty water works, and that the
party doos not want any cash, but will
tako bonds and carry them for fifty years
if necossary,
Gallagher thought it would bo necessary
to havo another party review tho ostimato
and Lamb said that had boon done. In
answer to a question if the figures were tho
same ho said not exactly, that that could
not be expected.
Scheifly asked If tho ordinanco specified
tho amount and was.informod that a finan
cial statement covering tho point would bo
presented lator in tho evening,
Scheifly asked, "'Why not let Council ad-
vortiso for bids and know what it is doing?'
James: "This Council wouldn't havo
authority to receive bids."
Hcneilly: " wo havo gono to an expanse
of$l,800and womight just as well spend
some money for receiving propositions and
let tho peoplo know what we mean. "When
we know what this is going to cost wo can
issue a proclamation for the increase.'
Lamb: "His idea is n good ono. Pass
tho ordinance and thon advertise for bids
and before wo voto wo will have tho aggro
gate of tho bonds."
Ooabley: "Aro wo allowed to do any
thing like that under this injunction busi
ness?" Pomeroy: ""Wo cannot issuo any bonds
under the old election."
Tho motion to adopt tho ordinanco wa
then carriod, Scboifly voting "Wo."
