OFF WATER .FROM SCHOOLS (Continued From First Pago.) a is hod and bills yrcaenteti tor water furnished by Southern. Public Utilities Compauy to the Schools of the School District since 10 Fobruary, 1314. 7. State that while the Anderson School District recognises the vali dity of the now franchis? and contract with the public Utilities Company, it disputes the right to make charges above referred to on. the ground that the provisions of the old franchise are stiJ? ?WM?? in so far as they re quire the Water Company to furnish free water for these schools. The intention Of ice company to cut off the wat<> ;nriied to igs "rriaarman of the board, Mr. Briffe Saturday afternoon, and the attorney* of the board wena notified by him. They had had no consult?txn Up to a late hoar last night. The Tangle Started. The tangle In these' affairs grov out of two facts, one that tho se! district is not a part of the munie government of Anderson, and anc that the contract between the wa^or company and the city of Anderson was superseded by the new contract w**M was ohened last fait and was finally adopted early in this year. Under the old contract the city wag to get water at IG? per ar?usn '.s; each hydrant and all public institu tutlonsj were to receive water free. Under the new contrct tho city Ja jfb pay ?40 a year for each hydrant, ors* reduction of $10 per year per hydrant, and theo? axe about. 175 bydr;. Provided that all water' used by pub lic institution! was to be paid for at meter, rates. This would bo a net saving to the olty of about *?HM> a y; It is claimed *hat .the school trict, being, as much of c set entity as tho township, is not In way a party to the contract and should nay for its water Jost ae the town ship or the county would pay. If tf city government paid for tho the outlying territory, including sot of the cotton mills, would have* ho part in paying for the water used in pom? of the- schools, and the wards of | ?he city would realty pay for. tho water used in suburban school*. I where as the school district pays all other bills, including salaries, repairs fuel, etc. I The matter will probably be set- ' tied In some form or manner in a few day*, s?
