THE WATER WORKS
CONTRACT LET.
The Work to begin ut Once.

The contracts for the Water
Works were awarded Tuesday night.
The Trustees were embarrassed in
this. The lowest bid for the work
as advertised was in round numbers
$4,000 more than the morev at
command. TO proceed at all, il
become necessary to abandon for
the time the construction of the
Reservoir, although very prudently,
the grounds, five acres, have been
bought.
In making the awards, the Trus-
tees considered all the bids, select
ing the lowest rand best from the
schedule, and in making the select
ion we're largely governed, not only
by the price, but by the judgment
of experts, men of our town whose
experience and integrity stand un-
questioned.
The work on the bitches will be-
gin at once, possibly next week.
The water will be supplied by
direct pressure, two pumps furnish
ing each, a million gallons every
"a hours.
The official record of the award is
as follows
The Water Works Trustees have
awarded the contract for our Water
Works system, to two firms viz:-the
first three divisions--supply we'll
pumping station and engine house
pumps and boilers to Sam'l l. Pope
Co of Chicago Illinois and the pipes,
hydrants, valves and distributing
same to McQuern & Co. of Canton
Ohio. These two firms make the
lowest combined bid that Can be
figured out.
The Water Works Trustees have
selected, the Worthington Logan
Foundry and Machine Works, agt,
pump for our water works system.
This pump has the Oldest reputa-
ton of any pump now manufactured
and is being extensively used in
England, France and Germany and
all over the United State. The firm
has been manufacturing water works
pumps for almost fifty years and
have been constantly adding modern
Improvements.
