BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS,
Fred Edwards, Secy.
Owosso, Mich June Z, 1897.
Board of Public Works:
ufacturing Company for 6inch water vain, to
take the place of the 4-inch main now laid on
Chapman street, which would enable them to
put In system OF automatic spriDklers, therby
giving them additional fire protection. and
which was referred to me for Investigation /
report back that 1t is q matter which should
advise that instead of replacing the 4 inch main
with a In. main on Chapman street that the city
extend the inch main on north State street q
distance OF about 275 feet to the property of the
Owosso Mfg. Co.. placing a fire hydrant at the
end of the main, leaving a connection which
would enable the factory to attach their inch
main to the city main. This would not only give
the inside protection that Is wanted by the com
pany. but would give another hydrant for protec-
ton of both the factory, the works OF Mr.. Mason
and i'm fact all the surrounding property which is
In that locality and could be put In for the same
expense that Is asked for by the petitioners |
submitted. G. III. Cossitt, Supt.
