This agreement must not abrogate any clause of the existing contract but be made a part of the same. In view of this Tery liberal concession the city should show a spirit of appreciation by reducing the taxes on this plant." Mr. Rogers writes, telling of the financial condition of the plant. He says the revenue received outside the city rental exceeds the cost of maintenance and operation by including manager's salary or olllCers' the property deeded to his sons and for which he brought suit.

No Use Kicking on Such Flimsy Excuses. Some Abilene men are trying to kick out of their bets on what seems to be a very flimsy reason. Two notices were served on stake-holders yesterday not to give up bets for the present and not until afU-r the mooting of the electoral college.

The bets wore that Bryan would not got the electoral vote of Kansas. Now it is very apparent that Bryan carried Kansas, but there is some hair-splitting, and a betting man generally catches a Btraw.

THE CITY'S SIDE. City Attorney Mead wrote on Oct. 20 to Manager G. A. Rogers stating the situation of the city: that the original franchise was granted in 1881, that hydrants and rental increased until the rental was $6,000, that the water's quality was for years execrable, thai fire service was poor, that this existed until after 1890, that the city had refused to pay the rental.
