Illness prevented Wil- llam S. Tevis, president of the Bay Cities Company, from attending. Mayor Warren Olney, the first speaker, outlined the conditions which he de- clared had led up to the question of a municipal water supply and said: I, as you all know, was in favor of buying the Contra Costa plant-if 1t icould be pur- chased at a reasonabie figure. The plant, ac- | cording 1o ‘the estimate of competent engineers, is not wotth more than $4,000,000. but I do not believe we should double this figure for a worn-qut distributihg system. The worry of litigation and the. constant friction between the Contra Costa Wate~ Company and the people will never end .until the city buys its own plant. i These conditions make it necessary for us to do something and the most feasible plan is the purchase of the system now offered to us by the Bay Citles Water Company.
