compilation OF statu es referring to vii
age together with his resignation from
Office rs village attorney was, on motion
laid over for consideration til next re-
gular meeting.
The committee on water works re-
ported as follows:
To ihe Hon. the Common Council OF
the Yilldge of L'Anse.
GENTLEMEN:-Your committee, APP
pointed at the last meeting, to visit and
examine the water systems of Marquette
and Ishpeming would respectfully re-
port that we have, in accordance with
the instructions of the council visited
both Marquette and Ishpeming and se-
cured such information from the super
intendents of the water works at each
place as we could obtain that would be
OF benefit to us. At Marquette cast iron
pipes are used almost exclusively, and
until five or six years ago the city was
supplied by inch mains. They now
have both 8 inch and IL inch mains.
The superintendent strongly recon-
mended cast iron pipes in preference to
wood pires, and also recommended that
all pipe in the village be laid 9 feet un-
der ground. In his opinion 8 inch
mains would be amply large for this
village for many years to come, and that
6 inch would supply the town at pre-
sent.
At Ishpeming wood pipes are used
almost exclusively and givo very good
satisfaction. The superintendent re-
commended them very highly. Some
OF the pipes now in use there have been
in constant use for % years and are
still in good condition. They are said
to be much easier to tap. They will
also stand freezing without bursting
which iron will not. At Ishpeming IA
inch mains are now used.
Your committee have obtained the ap.
proximate cost of iron pipe, hydrants
and gates, laying OF pipes etc., which
will be submitted verbally when the
council desires to make up an estimate
of the cost of water works system for
this place.
Your committee would recommend
the use OF in. mains and 6 in. laterals,
to be laid 6 feet under ground in the
village and feet under ground outside
of village.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
