Meeting of Board of Aldermen Will Probably be lreld AViLhJji.Next Few Days to Consider the Mutter. As the result of a meeting pf thfi stockholders of the Clarendon Waterworks Company, which was held yesterday morning in offices of the company qn Princess street, it Is stated that a communication will be delivered to Mayor William E. Spring-, er today making a counter proposition oil behalf of the company to tbe offer maWsome time ago by the, city for the purchase of the "private waterworks plant.

Froma reliable Source it -'s learned that the company will make a proposition to the, city to turn over its plant to the municipality January -1st, 1908 for $150,000, the terms; of; payment to beabput same "as that agreed on between representatives of the city and, the company syeraj weekSi'agd when deal between the two had been nearly consummated. If this counter proposition is made to the city, and there is every reason to believe that it will the mayor will undoubtedly call a special meeting of the board of aldermen without delay, to consider the matter, so that, if the offer is accepted everything could be made ready, for the transfer, of the plant to the city on January 1st As to the action of the board on the proposition nothing definite of course can be stated, but It" Is believed that ho nrnnneltfnn wnnM Ho tnnlr rtw with favor and accepted by a majori ty of the members. One thing certain- ly that would be advantageous to the city in consuming control of the plant on ihe first of January.would be the the fact that that is the beginning of the company's quarter, when adrvS3 water rates are paid, and tlie -would come, at once to revenue witlr which Jto run -the plant, 1 which would not have been the ifi.the francfoK Vi rl haon moA tnr- VnDmhaf 1st as orginally planned. It will be recalled that the -City oririnallv made the comnanv an offer I or $155,000 for their plant, which was 7 to be turned oved to the municipality on November 1st and these negotia- tions had been successfully completed and the deal about closed when It was learned, that the company's net earnings were not as large as expect ed. The matter was then taken up again and later the city made an offer of $140,000 to; the company." This "offer was refused, by the Clarendon officials but at a meeting of the board of aldermen on December 2nd the offer of $140,000.

was renewed and the company, was given 15 days within which to answer. The counter propersition outlined above, of $150,000 is the answer, of the company. It is nnderstood that no other basis of agreement 5 is suggested by the Clarendon officials, except the purchase outright by the city.
