Water Works.

The members OF the council were con-
siderably enlightened on the water
works question at their meeting Mon
day evening by speeches made by W.T..
Ang. II. representing the Detroit pipe
foundry, and s. V. Saleno, OF the Mich.
igan pipe company, Bay City. The
former Of course maintained that wood
pipe for water works was n. g. and the
village would be swindled if they put IT
in; that iron pipe was the thing, and
the only thing that could be safely used.
On the contrary Mr.. Saleno pointed
with pride to list of over fifty cities
and villages in Michigan alone IN which
complete systems OF water works, put
in by his company. were in successful
operation and giving entire satisfaction
He claimed for the Wyckoff wood pipe
that it was much cheaper than iron,
would last as long. maintain the purity
of the water better, and that it was
easier to tap for service pipes.
The council took the case under
advisement and will probably decide
this friday evening which the village
will have. Mr.. Saleno submitted an
estimate for the entire plant at so, 700
and complete it before Jan. 1st. Mr..
Angel was not prepared to make an
estimate for complete plant, not being
contractor, but promised il the coun-
Gil adjourned until Friday evening he
would bring q contractor who would
submit bid for the entire job. What
ever the outcome tonight the people
want. and ought to have, pure water
without any further unnecessary delay.
