in furnishing and laying the necessary
pipes. Your committee find that to
finish the work intended, will amount
to something like $1,000. The esti-

The building. This portion of the
expense and all extra work, other
than the laying of pipes necessary
for conveying the water from the
nearest outlet, should be borne by
