Company Demands Bonds. The sensation waa sprung when the water committee reported that it bad waited upon the water comjany to ascertain why water extensions, petitioned for by the Steven Investment company and ordered live weeks ago, had not been placed by the water company. According to the report, t he water company demanded that the iwtitlonere put up a bond guaranteeing the comA pany 8 per cent on its Investment. second nport from the water committee regarding exte.nsim in Lakeview addition waa read, and Jude i then spoke on the subject. Demand Unreasonable. He said that the demand for a perpetual bond were unreasonable; that the company he represented waa willing to put In the extension under the supervision of the water eotr.pary and would do the Job for $100. The rental would amount to a great deal more tnan the 8 per cent dividend provided for In the water company- - franchise, lie asserted. He called the water company minis, and Insisted that the present petitioner should not be lrl.1 responsible for the persona who might buy t"e property later. The first cotinririicatinn was referred back to the astir committee of the council for further investigation after a brief discussion, following Judge Horn's talk.

Regarding the Lakeview addition report, Judge Horn pleaded eloquently for the council to act immediately and either compel the water company to extend Its mains or allow the Investment people a franchise to construe t and operate their own waterworks system. Thlff franchise con'd be safeguarded as the city caw fit. asserted the speaker, If the council would only grant the right He said the Company would agree to turn over the ciflire system for a small consideration, If the franchise were granted. - Judge Horn urged that Immediate action waa necessary because Eastern capitalist who were roni; to bring $700.oo) into Ogden for buidlng homes In Lakeview were merely addition, holding off until they could ho assured of water In the district, either city water or that of an independent pla,it. "Inside of ten days," he said, we most Inform these Eastern capitalists that wc have water In that addition, otherwise the deal will br off a:id this opportunity of upbuilding Ogden will be forever lost. Dave Eoei try water company won't help us, so we come to you, begging, pleading on our knees for aid.

We'll put In a system of our own and turn it over to the cltv any time you want It For heaven's sake, gentlemen, help us In thl matter the water company will not. Maks 'am Forfeit Councilman Poery was opposed to granting another franchise. lie said that the water company should be compelled to make the extensions or forfeit Us franchise to the city. Councilman Powers Inclined the same way, and did not hesitate to say aa much. He thought, however, that the matter called for Instant action, and Dana agreed with him. Councilman Thomas then moved that the report of the water committee he filled and that flic ordinance which th riover.a Investment company the franchise for it water system, com nn for second reading. This ordinance will probably be finally passed at next Monday's meeting, giving the company the right to construct Its own Independent water system for the Lakeview addition. According to a brief Just prepared by City Attorney DeVlue, Ogden City a In a iKisition to legally purchase the pro sent water avstem or build one of its own, by special tax assessment.' The briefs were submitted to the council last night. David Eerie and other representatives of the water company have been In conference with the council committee at various times, and It la amid the water company la willing to aeil, at Ita price, to the city. The matter has been held In abeyance, however, pending Investigation by City Attorney DeVlne a to whether or not the city would ever be In a financial position to pay Ua purchase price should the system be bought. Tha brief Just completed covers the question fully, and may possibly lead up to actual negotiations for the present system. it DETECTIVE AFTER COES W. FIELDING City Detective James F.
