DUBBS FAVORS WATER PLANT President Pre fers "Municipal Plant to Long-Termn Evans- ton Contract Wilmette shouid 'immediately. take stýeps ta secure a municipaily owned water, plant to' ensure .an adequate water, supply, without involving a long-term: contract with the city -of 4 Evanston.ý That ,was the sum -and 1substance of ýa talk given*by Village President CP.Dubbs at an informai meeting of. the Village board Monday night. * The meeting had been calied, as a special meeting of the board, but be- cause of the. lack of a quorum no Q fficiai 'action could be taken. President Dubbs traced the pro- gress of the negotiations with Ev- anston. These negotiations have *extended over a long period of time and have led up ta a virtuai ultima-, tum from the Evan-ston City council that if Evanston is to furnish water ta, Wilmette this Village will have to agree ta a twenty-year contract, the price of Water ta be seven cents per one hundred. cubic feet, as at pre- sent, for the next five years, and the price for the rexnaining fifteen years of the contract to be determined at the end of five years by an arbitra- tincomnfittee. * Unf*vorab1. to Comtract President Dubbs stated that the negôtiations between Wilmette and Evansten with reference- ta water supply were started with the idea in, mind that one water plant couid be operated more economicaily for, tomunicipalitiles than cou'Id- twa plants. Evanston's proposition for furnishing water ta Wilmette for thb. *next twenty years would not work out that wayat ail, he said, and Ev- . I anston alone' wouid 'benefit from such a contract.
