THF11SDAT. JCIT 12, IS70. S .yc. jlr. Smith has declared his Intents cr savins a "little fun" by means of -- . Ink, Will ne ei;eu puotlver advertisement, lnlormlng the X' oi : hat ho expected to gain by spendinr let; dollars on that -which appears In ir-- -iip-nlng papers? Courier. It ei charged Mr. Smith ten dollar:! for his advertisement, you charged him at least live dollars more that, regular rates, and consequently deliberately swindled him out of that amount.. Littlo swindling like that ain't worth bragging about. Bat the water dog is a big thiDg, and worth chuckling over. If Mr. Smith really means business, let Mm offer Mr. Weir forty thousand dollars for the job, and give as good security for the faithful performance of tfce ame as Well has given. He knows veiy well that the city cannot avoid the contract now. If he Is not en arrant lrcposter, or worse, let him mate Mr. Weir a proposition. Courier. If Mr.Weir thinks forty thousand dollars will be sufficient to pay his champaign and other expenses incurred, and Gilford him good profit for his own services, be had tetter take Mr. Smith up. The responsibility of the latter gentleman is not doubted. He means business. We suspect, however, that Mr. Weir would hardly sell out for forty thousand dollars, and agree, at the same time, to pay all the expenses incurred in securing (he contract. It is a suggestive fact that all or nearIv all the negotiations between Wm. l W6ir and the Water Works Comciittee were held in secret. Everybody was kept in the dark. After Mr. Weir got the plana and specifications to suit him the first thiDg the people knew a contract was crowded through the Council, " s:go.ed, scaled, and de livered" without anybody having a chance to examine or criticise its terms. That transaction may be alto jether honest and straightforward, but we agree with Mr. Richardt that it looks "suspicious." Mr. Weir professes to be an engineer thoroughly familiar with the details and require ments of the Ilolly system. Now, if the Committee had been disposed to treat the people fairly, they would have paid him for preparing plans and specifications, and then advertised for bids to do the work according to those p!an3 anu specifications if, on thorough examination, they were found to bd what cur city requires. That would have been the course pursued by plain, honest business men, but eeema to have been regarded as altogether too much on the old style to suit the spruce young Councilman from the Second acd Third Wards. iljstcrlous ! In the proceedings of the City Council on Tuesday last, a contract wa3 awarded to William C. Weir, for constructing Water Works for the City of Evansville. Mr. Ilichardt objected to tiic Laste in mak'mg the award, iuasmueh as one proposition had been received, offering to take the jub for $15,000 less money. He thought such haste was ' suspicious. Mr. "Van Riper said the Committee had received propositions from numerous parties, but none wero so lair as Mr. Weir's. Councilman Doughty wanted to know why Sutermcistcr & Co. (the parties referred to by Mr. Ilichardt,) had noi. done as the Boston parties and others, "sought out" the Comoiitiee, made their bids and submitted ;heir plans. Now, why didn't the oommittce submit the bids and plans cf some of these Boston and other parties to the Council for consideration? What is there about these bids and specification?, which the parties makiDg them "sought out" the Committee to pre-s-ent, that requires they should be 1 ept secret? Inasmuch as the-Com uiittee had never ancounced, by advertisement or otherwise, that they were ready to receive bid?, we think their own reputation demands that they yet make known the plans and bids they received from other parties than Mr. Weir. Our citizens would like to examine and compare them with the Wcir-Yan llipar contract. Will the Water Works Committee condescend to let the people ece these plans and bids? We will take fleasure in printing them. A Fqaare Proposition. We reprint this morning the proposition of William Smith, of Pittsburg, one of the largest iron manufacturers 5 the country: TO THE TAX-PAYERS OF THE City of Evaasiiille, Indiana. THE undersigned having visited your lty for the purpose of bidding npon the Water Works about being built, was &iuOnl8bed to find, contrary to all preceJ. at, that the contract had boeii swarded without advertising or inviting bids lrona the manufacturers of pipes or pumping &chlnery; and be desires now to state that he will agree to furnish all pipes, i- . inches, valves, fire hydrants, well, englues, bulldlog, and everything specified ' the published contract, In a complete a a workmanlike manner, for Twenty Thousand Dollars eHSthan the ttim at which the contract v as awarded, or he can furnish the same -p-.h pipe of a thleknes4 that wlll'stand .a tests required by the contract for Forty Thousand Dollars r.isa than awarded in said contract,. WM. SMITH. .National Foundry and Pipe Works, Pittsburg, Pa. It is not claimed that Mr. Weir, to whom the Water Works Committee surreptitiously awarded the contract, Las any facilities of his own for doing the work. Every part of it he must sab-let to other parties. Wm. Smith has an extensive cs'aMiqhraenfc engaged in roanufact-!.;!.s "0i piO". which coctItute3 the i ,teni of PxrwiiSf. i-1. iii' Ti forc-. ."-" ,. ..

lie says he is able and willing to furnish all the pipe, and do all the work specified in the Weir-Yan Riper contract, for forty thousand dollars less thau the city is obliged to pay William C. Weir. This shows what

a good thins Mr.Weir has Eecured;' for he can eub-let the whole contract to Mr. Smith, and pocket forty thous and dollars, less the amount it cost him to secure the job. How much that is, we are not ablo to state. It is, no dcubt, better known to himself and the Water Wrorks Committee. Champaign and accompaniments are very expensive. Jo&e on a Democratic Editor. A citizen of Warrick County tells the following capital joke on the Editor of be Boonville Enquirer. The latter being an enthusiastic and patriotic citizen, began his preparations for. tke proper observance of the Fourth of July, on the evening of the third. He was so spirited in his prepsratioca that he found it extremely difficult, at a late hour of the night to make his way homeward. Oce Liodsty, an American citizen cf Afri can descent, stirred by similar patri otic impulses, visited the same manufactory of enthusiasm at the Eame time, end got enthused with his friend, the editor. Being of a more phlegmatio temperament than hi3 comrade, he was able to render the latter materia! assistance, as home ward he went hu winding way. With arms lovirgly encircling each other's bodies, the two made their way to the editor's house, and he was safely de posited in bed. His colored friend 8lso went on his way rtjoiciog over "the day we celebrate." Next mornine, on celling up and going down town, the editor for the first time missed his pocket book, and at once suspected his colored friend of having stolen it the night before. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the latter. While, waiting for the rcturo of the Constable with his prisoner, the editor insisted that the only reason why ho tolerated the familiarity of the "nigsr" the night previou?, was because he was a good Democrat. In the meantime, the ed nor a wue utscovered tuo missing pocket book in the bed. and by the time the colored individual reported at the 'Squire's office the discovery was known. On being informed that he had been charged by tho editor with having stolen his pocket book and also with beiDg a Democrat Ltndsey indignantly answered : "I don't mind bcin' 'cuscd of stealin' the pocket took so much, but, by golly, he musn't soy I'm a Democrat. That'g niore'n 1'i-e willin' to stan'. Watir Worfcs! Tho Record. Wc fugaest to our city readers to carefully scan this record of their Common Council, or rather ol Councilman Van Riper "The cook, and the captain bold, And the mate of tbe Nancy brig. And tbe bosun light, and the midshlrinlte. And tbe crew of the C'aptatn'd Rig," in connection with the Van RipcrWcir contract, which we have published in full, and Ecroe of the beauJies of which we have pointed out. When they thus contemplate the stupendous ability exhibited throughout this cntiro business, by the Councilman of the Second Ward, and Chairman of the Water "Works Committee, we apprehend they will be ready to -exclaim, in ti e style of our Bride Pcmcroyical neighbor of the Courier: Glory to Van Riperl Great is Van Riper!! There is but one Van Riper!!! And Muhlhausen is bis shadow. We reservo our own comments for another day. "We congratulate the citizens of Evansville upon the certain prospects of procuring a supply of rcitE, soft water in our city, within eight months, which will answer domestic use, run our factories, and supplant the neces sity of steam fire engines, in the heart of the city, loo much credit for the accomplishment of so great a work cannot be awarded to E. G. Van Riper." All honor to E. G. Van Riper. Praise for Dr. Muhlhausen. Credit is due to Chas. IF. Doughty. Respect for Tliomas Kerth. Well dono; good and faithful servants!!!! You have been faithful over a few things! Courier Council Proceedings, April 23th 1S70 Mr. Van Riper presented a report, (message?) embodying a resolution, as follows: To His Honor, tbe Mayor, and Common Council of the City of Kvausvllle. Ind.: I wish to cull your Immediate at tention to the following resolution, which I regard as of tbe greatest importance to the elfare of our ctty : Jietolvetl, That a standing committee of three members of the Common Council be appointed to take charge of all matters pertaining to the erection of Water Worfes In this city, said committee to immediately inves' leaie thoroughly all the points bearing on this subject, and to report to the Council at the earliest date possible. And I give it as my opinion that the city should own and control every dollar of block and lntertst. In said works, whereby the whole people or our city will receive and erjoy the benefits arising from the erection of fam. Kespec fully tubmltted. K. O. Van Uiper. Evansville, Ind., April 25, 1870. Adopted, and Messrs. Van Riper, Muhlhausen and Doughty were appointed upon said committee. Council proceeding?, May 2 Mr. Van Riper, rom the Water Works Committee, recommended that the Council order an election to be held on Thursday, 12th of May, 4870, to submit the question whether Water Works upon tho Ilolly plan, to be owned by the city, should be erected, to the qualified votcr3 of the city, which recommendation wa3 adopted. Council proceedings, :.!y y j Mr. Van Riper moved that tho Clerk prepare books, papers, ballots &c, for the election on Thursday. Mr. John A. Rei:z, by psrmission, ojc!ed to said election, which, he said, was quite unnccensary aod would be of no effect. The Council was alrcsdy authorized to make as good a bargain it i-culd for the erection of i v i tr r i : 3. '. W. (Jarpeittr asreed with Mr, COf.

such expenses, and therefore he would

vote for it anyhow. I Mr. Van Riper admitted the truth ui mr. xveitz s position, uui no uc- i lieved there was a lot of people here! who were secretly rjlottinir to cet dobseesion of the Water "Works for their own profit. In a matter of so great mportanco he desired to have the sense of the cconle. The resolution was adopted. Council Proceedings, May 16. Mr. Van Riper presented the re port of tho election board on the Wa ter Vorks election, showing that 1,077 votes were cast for the proposition, and 17G against it, which wa3 rend aod ordered on record. Mr. Muhlhausen moved that the Committee cn Water Works (Mr. Van Riper, Muhlhausen and Dough ty.) be authorized to visit Dayton, Ohio, and Covington, Kentucky, and that three practical citizens be invited to accompany them, to examine the practical operation of the Ilolly system, &. On the question who the citizens should be, Mr. Van Riper suggested Mr. George Lant, as a man who bad been accustomed to public works; Mr. Robert Boyd, as beirg conversant with buildicgj and contracts; and Mr. John Haney, who being the Chief of the Fire Department, was a proper person. JUr. lieu man named Mr. C. Kratz, and the motion paesed. Subsequently Mr. Samuel Orr was added at the request of Mr. Doughty. Mr. Van BlPER remarked . that while the Committe were absent they would make some arrangements for the placing of bonds to be issued for the building oi the works. Council proceeding!:, May 23d. Mr. Van Riper, from the Water V oiks Lorcrmttee. reported that the several members of the committee, accompanied by prominent citizens, have visited Covington, Ky. and Day ton, Ohio, in pursuance of their au thority derived from your honorable body, and fave concluded, from the investigations made, to rtcommend the Ilolly system of Water Works as the surest method of furnishing Evansville vfith a eupply of pure water," Council proceedings, Jane 6th Mr. Van Riper offered a resolution that " $300,000 of the bonds of the city of Evansville be issued bearing 7 3 10 per cent, per annum interest, and to run twenty-five years, the same to be used in the construction of Water Works, and to be executed and negotiated under the control and supervision of the Water Works Commilfeeofthe City Council, viz : Messrs. E. G. Van Riper, M. Muhlhausen, C. W. Doughty and Thomas Kerth, who will report from time to time to the Council. Councilman Carpenter objected that it was not well for the city to take the construction of Water Works. He at least wanted a limit fixed, below which tho bonds should not be sold. Mr. Muhlhausen moved the adoption. Mr. Heilman moved an amendment that the bonds be issued under the control of the whole Council. Ihe amendment was lost. jyes: Messrs. Councilmen Carpenter, bchaum and Heilman. iNoes: Coun cilmen Van Riper, Ellcs, M;:blhaU' sen, Richardt, Kerth and Doukhty. Mr. Heilman said ho must joii Mr Carpenter in dcmandinsr a limit at which the bonds mut be sold. He obj'.-cted to 75 per cent.; he could ne gotiate them for S7 cents , Mr. Van RiDer Said that ha tci. mrrnritcd at the conduct of gentle-men. who continually nianijesle-t i atisposi jV;?. in nnnov the Water Works Com miltec. which includes the Finance Committee, and had the interest of the city steadily in view. I hey in tended to do nothing rashly. In re nlv to Mr. Heilman. he said they al ready had assurances that the bonds of the city would be negotiated for a sum cf money that would be satisfactory, and in no event would the bonds be sacrificed. They would not be sold for any 75 cents to the dollar. or 87 cents either. The original ivtolution was then adopted. Ayes Councilmen Ellcs, Van Riper. Muhlhausen, Richardt, Schaum.

Works bonds, and the principal of the same. on maturity, which was passed under a suspension ot the rules. Mr. Van Riper presented a form of bond for Water Works, which was approved by the Council. Council Proceedings, June 27. Mr. Van Riper presented the proposition of Mr. W. C. Weir, for the construction ot Water Works for the city, under the Holley System, which was read; also a plan of the city, exhibiting the streets upon which the main water pipes are to be located, and explanatory remarks were made by Mr. W.

To contract for works of that msgnitude without a word of advertising for proposals, and then aeree to pay the contractor ninety per cent, of his contract price as the work propressed, was very unusual. Mr. Weir's credit could net be what was boasted if he could cot wait thirty days. Mr. Richardt moved an amendment to deler tin 'Ibursday. Not adopted.
