CITIZENS VOTE FOR CITY TO PURCHASE PLANT OF THE SALEM WATERWORKS CO ond Issue of $131,000 Authorized in Election Saturday, a Rather Light Vote Being Cast in Most Precincts of City resu' rad tu fer to arrante 1 GOOD THING" FOR THE COMPANY jk votes more than the noces-jthe price at which they offered to sell 0y of the ballots cast, the! last spring being $135,000, makes the u. of 131.000 carried at thCj present price to be paid by the city one 106 theTe being a total that willl relieve the stockholders of which 886 were their investment, at a fraction over 97, the bond issue and 421 or almost par.

And the increased rates on back rentals will practically make a par return. Since the stock has never paid a cent of dividends, it can be readily seen that the stockholders will appreciate vastly an opportunity to let loose their white elephant, and they and Supt. Dow are immensely pleased with the turn of election, Opposition to High Rates. The opposition to the advance in rates demanded by the company and the controversy over rate arrangement of last July when the council made a proposition to the company, which was accepted, may produce a hitch in completing the deal between the city and company. There are many opposed to paying the new rates on the back water rentals, which will ccver a period of two years by the time the city secures control of the plant.

In some instances this will aggregate a considerable sum of money. The question has arisen whether the company can legally collect under these new rates since they have no franchise embodying them, and some taxpayers on Monday discussed the advisability of entering an injunction suit against council to prevent their the bond issue and OsTtu sday evening council will ieet in a iourned session to ratify of the election and in- clerk to make a formal water company for the the plant at the by the voters Saturday, as much as the water sectary has recently emphatically ex- elf that they would not the price of $131,000 unless ick rentals are paid at the new rates jreed upon between council and the summer, this point will come up for action Tuesday right Bj will, no doubt, be authorized by OBUCtl- Waterworks Co. Pleased. The price to be paid for the water will relieve the water company the financial condl- ion which it has been in for a num ier of yeaie, and with the additional lecenary bonded Indebtedness to the ilty, also opens the gate for still fur- her expenditures which will be necessary to place the plant In an operating condition. The fact that stock in water wmpany has been quoted at 50, the original amount of the investment by the stockh olders being $67,500, and for the past week wore awarded follows: High score, Jesse Kirk, 229; second high, H.

Schermtnerhorn, 212. Owing to the number tied for low score above 75 a game will be off Monday evening before the match to decide the winner. Bowling interest has revived this season, and the Cochran alleys, by the courteous treatment of the new management, are fast gaining favor as a place of amusement and exercise for both ladies and gentlemen.

About 2 Sunday morning Mrs. Robert Hall of 14 West Dry street detected some one trying to effect an entrance at the front door.

Mr. Hall, who conducts a shop onChestnut street, had been detained by the usual late trade on unlay night, and when the intruder cam a upon the porch Mrs. nail thought it was her husband. The man tried the door and then passed over the west end of the porch to the fide of the house, whereupon Mrs. llall opened the upstairs window and a man step around the rear corner of the house.

Realizing that it was not her husband she procured her revolver, and in hopes of scaring the party cway fired two shots into the ground, aiter which she dressed and went a house. Soon after a man came down the street and going up on the porch at the Hall home tried the front door, and finding it locked crossed the porch just as he or his precedessor had done before and disappeared between the houses. No clue to the identity could be seucred, as the street is quite dark. Several other less iuslat- ent cases in other parts of town are reported for the same night.
