Mr. T. Saniuei tParsons, chiaîrman ot the Evanston Water comnittee, ail of: which correspondence was dated subsequent to Februar>' 21st. 1933. The. publicationi of this correspond,-. ei.ce was evidenitly iutended to con- ve>' the impression that the officiais of, the Shaàwiee Cpuntry club. actu- al>', believe that Wilmeétte should have, a lpwer water rate,. and , that' they hacI been eudeavoring to obtain same frôni Evanston. In his letter 'to Mr. Parsons, under date of March 2Mt, XMr. Pearson states. that. he preseuted the inatter ini full to the undersignied, >as-, acting president. On the afternoon of Saturda>'. ýMarch 4th, 1I had 'a conlference with Mr. Pearson, Mr. Frenicli. -Mr. Mvc- Donald and Mr. Page, during whi ch conference th-ey inquired as te 'wlwtii- er it would be possible to stop the construction of the %water works pro- viding a ilower water rate 'cotild be. obtaiued from Evanistoni. Jstated thiat. in my opinion the principal difficult>' in making sucl ai) arraiigeiienit would be to ascertain the ainount of reduction whichi Evaniston would ai- low and then to deterinie the amount whiich it would be iecessar>' to pay ini settiezuent with the conî- tractors. Althougli Mr. Pearson evi-, ltvaitstoni The' extent of Mr. Pearson's eni- deavors along this line is plainI>' showu b>' his letter of February 2lst, where lie states, "It had been the po- sition of the club that the water works was none of their affair and theit ouly objection -lias been to the location.". And ' fnrther, -you cati imagine mv surprise when 1 asked *By a careful attalysis of the figures set forth in the above letter, it wjlI be seen that it costs Evanston 3.06 cents per 100, cu. ft. to pumüp its wat er, to whichl. caiî be added 6%/ on the total cost of its plant, (.63 centsî per 100-cu. ft.), 1 iiaking 'a total cost of 3;69. centsý It lias beenî re- ceivîng 7.12 cents Per 100 cu. ft. ov er a long period. The records of, both Evanston and Wilmnette show without any speculationwhatsoever the anioUnt -of water purchasçd during the Iast twventy years. The difference between the .côst to Evanston and the amouint, paid by. Wilmette durlng, the last twenty. years, based on actual con- sumption, anmounts to over $450,000. In other words, we have paid Evans- ton during thé lasttwenty years an actual profit sufficient to approx- imiatel>' pay for the additioiîal equip- tuent which it expeët,,-ii the near fuue o instaM~lluiicase WilJuiet :hould enter into a contract for a period of twenty years oni the pres-. ent basis, (which is the onlv basis oit %vhich Wilmette autlôrities liad an>' right to rely Up to the tinie of let- iing contracts), Wilmett.e' would build the additional plant for Eivans- ton and have nothing at the enid of twventy years.
