THE MACON DAILY TELEGRAPHS SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1908 FIRE HYDRANTS DAUSEDISPUTE Probable Litigation Over Hydrants in the Vieinity of the Bibb Briek Company's Plant There la likely to be some litiga tion between' the city and the Bibb Trick Company. In reference to the hydrants in the locality In which the plant of the company Is locate! In the vicinity of the plant, on the city reserve, are five fire hydrants. 'Under the contract with the city the water company is pqld 137.50 each per hydrant. The city now demands that the company shall pay for these hy drants, and because of the com pany being a private corporation It must pay to the water company the regular price paid by consumers, namely $50.00 per hydrant.. The city claims that these hydrants are only for the protection of the Bibb plant, which only pays a yearly rental to the city of $200. whereas they pay out of this $187.50 for the hydrants. The company claims that while It Is true they pay only $200 per annum rental, they pay a largo amount as nd valorem taxes. They further claim that their plant la within the corporate limits and entitled to as much Are protection as if it was lo cated In the heart of tho city. They claim further that Are protection la given other plants on fhe reserve that pay tho city no rytitnl. one of the concerns being supplied with Might hydrants, for ouch of which tho city pays $37.50. The company any they have offered to pay tho city for three of the fivo hydrants, but they feel as though they should not be forced to pay $250 for the -hydrants and the city woull only havo to pay $178.50 for them. Fur ther than this, the water company will not. guarantee any pressure for these hydrants, even though the com pany should pay the price of $50 each. The company Is now confront ed by the insurance companies who threaten to cancel nil the policies un less something Is done. This Is tho situation as stated. What the outcome will be will prob ably be determined in a few days. be scrapin' er he ahoea anner gtttln’ ready ter walk on de street* uv do new Jeruzelum atldder, ack’n do fool lak I dun. lilf sho do.
