and recommend that this action be taken
They also recommend that u lateral be lac
along The south side of North Temple street

other means of providing connection with the
system from houses fronting north .Iard on said
street The committee also reported that they
had contracted with the Utah Montana
Machinery company for Knowles duplex
steam power pump. 10 be delivered l. o. o. cars
at New York for 81. S26.s5 After its arrival
here, the pump will be placed in position and
made ready for use under the direction OF
William j. Silver. Payment for the pump is TO
be made after il shall be in successful opera
ton. The committee also append a communi-
cation from C. p. Mason, manager of the Utah
& Montana Machinery company, from which the
following is taken: I'VE have delayed reply ing,
hoping to receive an answer from the Knowles
steam pump works, which would enable US TO
be definite in regard to the exact time when
the shipment OF the pump would be made. My
understanding. however has been that they
could get it out in five six weeks after receipt
OF order, then allowing about two weeks for the
pump to come, would bring 1t mere IN sixty
days beyond question. The proposition to have
Mr.. w. j. Silver place the pump IN position ana
superintend the same is quite satisfactory, as
his ability is well known as mechanic and
engineer. You have our guarantee that this
pump is TO do the duty beyond question, and we
will be perfectly willing to demonstrate this be-
yond question before asking payment.
