CITY OWNERSHIP OF UTILITIES ISDISCUSSED Mayor Says City Should Own Water WorksJail Conditions Are Criticized. City ownership of public utilities was discussed at the meeting of city council Monday night. Mayor Zim- . merman said that he was going to help bring about legislation that would give the city the right to buy the Richmond City Water works.

Councilman Ford said he agreea with the mayor that the city should

own all the utilities but he thought It was vital the city should own the gas plant. lie said he would like to

see the city buy the gas plant ana make it a bl-nroduct plant, as they

have in Indianapolis. In this way he

eald it would -bo possible to have mucn 'lower rates.

Mayor Zimmerman disagreed. He

said the city must have the water works as there are springs east of town that could be used. But that it would be far more difficult for the city to run a bi-product gas plant because it would be difficult for Richmond to get a market because she is not as near the coal fields as Indianapolis is. In a discussion of wages, Mayor Zimmerman said that if the firemen's and policemen's wages are raised they will recede when tiroes are normal. . Buy Gravel Pit. A monthly report from the Light Plant showed that it has (51.800 worth of Liberty bonds. Other monthly reports were read. A communication was read from the superintendent of schools, which was & reply to a letter ent from the clerk's office in regard to the manner of flro drills. The letter said the fire drills were conducted according to rules, and they were cited.An appropriation of 15.000 was made to purchase a gravel pit for, the city north of the hospital. Thero arc four or six acres of land and it Is reported that the bottom of the pit cannot be found. After the gravel is gone the city will have the land. This is said to be a very good Investment for Uie city. Two ordnarces wre passed authorising the directing of a transfer of account from those to which they were originally ordained to other specified accounts, ono for the street department and the other for the light plant A discussion of the Morton Lake addition came up in which It was divulged that the owners would like to have the city buy it. Rules were suspended and the part of the ordinance which said that the city should pay 1124.45 on the Morton Lake bonds was struck out. Councilman Richardson said that the city health department should investigate be sanitary conditions - of the factories and shops in Richmond. Me brought up the matters of repairs in the city Jail and was told by the Mayor that there would , be no repairs In jail while he was in office. Councilman Ford said It was an outrage to hold a witness in such a place that is not fit for a dog.
