Our water commissioners in report to
the city council. On Monday, say:
The extreme cold weather in the winter |
of 1894 and of the present winter has
demonstrated to yonr commissioners that
they. in following the instructions OF Mr..
Holly, have erred in placing the mains too
near the surface"
There was little or no trouble with the
pipes last winter (the winter of 1S73-74)
nor was the weather very cold then. A
year ago last winter THE winter of 1929
the last of Mayor Murdock's year, the
weather was extremely cold and it was
then, as this winter, demonstrated to
everybody besides your commissioners"
that the effort to economist in building the
water works was a mistake-a grievous
blunder which entails many thousands of
dollars expense upon the people.
The attempted thewater board to escape
censure for the great mistake of not laying
the pipes deep enough, and also to place
the responsibility upon Mr.. Holly, is dis
ingenious. The members of the board, moi
Mr.. Holly, are responsible to the people
for the performance of duties entrusted tt
them If they did not know better thar
to place the pipes so shallow as to leave
} only about 2! to feet of earth over them
: they were told better by scores Of our PEG

did not kindly listen to the advice of thei
employers, and in some cases people VIII
demonstrated with them as to the manne
they were doing the work, were rudel
y insulted for offering advice. They ais
had the experience of Peoria, which cit
,. had already made the same mistake an
had the same trouble.
d Mr.. Mitchell's great anxiety to build ID
works for about one hundred thousand do
lars, and the unwillingness of the boar
