For several months there has been talk and reports in city circles that the movement to operate a city owned water plant here would soon materialize, but nothing has come out in open council meetings relative to it until Tuesday- evening, when the city council held a lengthy discussion relative to buying the Greencastle
Water Company plant.
A proposal submitted by McNair & Co., u Chicago bonding house, to i furnish funds to the city for the purj chase price of the Greencastle Water Company brought up the discussion. j.MNair A Co. proposed to loan the j city sufficient funds to buy the water plant, the same to bo retired by revenue bonris payable from the income of ithc plant and to cover a period of 40 years. Some contend that the present waiter rates would, if the city op'■rnt.»! t! ,■ plant, be sufficient to pay opertiting costs, and to retiro purchase bonds, but representatives from other lion ting houses Tuesday night indicated that such would not be thn case if the price paid was as high as $91)0 000, and they were of the opinion that it could not lx' bought for
