Enc yyater works one.tlon.

Ed. s. Alexander, of the firm of Rus
sell s. Alexander, Of Chicago, builders of
water works, was in town Saturday, inter-
viewing the members Of the city council
in regard to water works for Emporia.
Mr. Alexander was here about two
months ago, and informs us that the cost
of the water pipe for the proposed works
here is now $1,000 or more than it was
at his previous yisit--the cost of iron
having unexpectedly advanced since
that time. All kind of iron work is still
advancing, and the sooner the council
can buy the material the less it win cost.
If we are to have any water works, there
fore, it will be economy to purchase the
pipes as soon as practicable.
Russell s. Alexander are extensive
builders of water works, and rank among
the leading firms of engineers and con-
tractors in the country. They have sup
piled number of cities with first class
works, and can furnish any kind wanted
in probably as short time, and we be
lieve in as substantial manner, as any
firm in the country. The city council
has devoted great deal of atten-
ton to investigating and discussing
feasible and economical system
OF water works, and we understand has
practically agreed upon plan. It
would pay while Mr.. Alexander is here,
To get him TO furnish estimates, as his
figures would no doubt be reliable, and
it may be that good many thousand
dollars can be saved by taking action
without any unnecessary delay.
