no more than have the companies making the proposals, He stated
that if both bids are rejected he could not give any asouranee
that the City would be enabled to get a better rate.
Mr. Wilfred Jesup, attorney explained that it was very essent-
ial that Council order an investigation of the books and affairs
of the Richmond City Water Works, as the question of the valuat-
ion of the Plant is a very important one, in the ratter of pur-
chase or the making of rates for water furnished to the City A
to the Citizens.
