Because of the request hy ‘called on H. F. O'Hare, city attorney. . O'Hare Brings Rise Mr. O'Hare declared the water com- pany had never made a bona fide offer to the city, but had gone on the street corners. He remarked that it was necessary to have additional legal talent because of the amount of work, and said that he felt he and Mr. |Young had done pretty well “when |the water. company had seven attor- |neys besides the three that are here.” “Do you mean to insinuate that I am representihg the water company,” broke in Mr. Burke. “I don’t mean to insinuate any- \ IN He spoke of the actions brought by ‘the city, one to cancel the franchise. | This had been cancelled by ordinance and court action brought to make it ! effective.

He declared the “water company was up lo, bat and now the attorneys j rush in and say ‘let’s 2bitrate.’” | Mr. O’Hare talked on the valuation ‘of the railroad commission, which he termed excessive, aud which he said would be a part of the matters to be considered by arbitration. “Gouldu’t it be stipulated that‘ this wouldn’t be taken into consideration , by the arbitrators,” asked P. E. Byrne. Mr. O'Hare, answered, that it could. No Power Shown He declared that the water com- pany hod not shown to the commis-~ sion that the attorneys for the com- pany have any power to. make the s Luey pubushed. He declared it was published in the city newspapers long before it was brought up to the commission. He said that until the attorneys for the company show sign- atures of every stockholder, consent- ,ing to arbitration. it is foolish to talk of it. and the app the city, said that {tions to my possible integrity I have !some hesitation .to speak.” He said that the city had, to beg him to take the lawsuit, and said that “If you'll {sottle th’s tonight I'll -be the happiest man in Bismarck because there hasn’t been a day when I haven't had to turn aside from something I really wanted to do to this blasted water case.” He reviewed the hearing before the railroad commission, , Sayings there were three things up—that the rates were too- high, that fire protection was inadequate and that the water was not pure. He said the hearing could have been concluded in four or five days, and would have cost the city but $1,500 to $2,000, and the water company could have got out of it for $2,000, but that =x GVESS THIS PROHIBITION 1S A PRETTY GOOD “THING AFTER He told | ©.

Upnes objected to “any insinua- ition of ‘anyone on the integrity of any man on the city commission.” He declared he had worked with the commission in the water fight and that he knew they were sincere. He said he would be safisfied with whatever the commission did, whether it was for arbitration or for fighting. Mr. Jones, in closing, recommended ‘millions for defense but not one cent for tribute. | Mayor Lucas closed by reviewing the ‘city commission’s efforts. He said ‘that a new franchise was given five years ago and that many promises were made, but that all the city got out of it was a booster pump. City Is Growing He said Bismarck was growing, needed parks, swimming pools, and j other things, and that an adequate, jcheap water supply was a necessity. ‘He said that Mr. Atkinson had valued the water plant at $200,000, that Nr. Wolf, an eminent engineer, had valued it at $184,000, that Mr. Stan- ton had estimated it at a little over $200,000, and that Mr. Morris, the last state commission engineer to work on the case, estimated it at $266,000. He said the water company wanted to sell for $502,000. He said the commission was on a ‘fair way to success in the litigation, and he ,didn’t feel, it-owghtto turn around after five years;and say “let's arbitrate.’ The mayor thanked those present for being at the meeting and express- ling their views.
