APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE SENDS
A SUBSTITUTE FOR REPRESEN-
TATIVE SHELLS BILL.
THIS PROVIDES FOR $4,000,
WHILE THE STATE FAIR PEOPLE
ASKED $4,000 FOR THIS
PURPOSE.
HOW THE MAINS WILL BE LAID
Pipes Into the Fair Grounds
What 1t Will Cost

The introduction yesterday by the
house committee on appropriations of
substitute bill for the one sent up some
time back by Representative Dan
Shell asking for $4,000 for an amphi-
theater and water system at the stale
fair grounds, has about decided that
the agricultural society will have to
be satisfied with the water system and
put off the amphitheater until some
other time.
The bill provides for an appropria-
ton of 1000, instead of $4,000 as asked,
for the expense of supplying the
grounds Of the society with water, both
for protection against fire and the
watering of stock, grounds, etc. Com
ing from the committee on appropria-
tons favorably recommended, there is
no doubt Of the passage of the bill.
It provides that the money shall be
expended under the direction of the
state fair association by the board
of water commissioners of st. Paul.
The commissioners recommend that the
supply be taken from the sixteen-inch
main at the intersection. of Smelling
avenue and the Great Northern track,
about five blocks north of Minnehaha
street They suggest that a twelve
inch main be run from this point along
Smelling to Langford, a distance Of
$3.50 feet, ending at the corner Of the
grounds proper.
From this point two routes are nam
ed, the first being directly into the
ground a distance of $50 fet to the ad-
ministration building, while the second
continues along Smelling some 200 feet
north, to point nearly opposite the
poor house. The commissioners believe
the last named is the better way on
account of being more central, and
also for the reason that it will furnish
a twelve-inch main on Smelling avenue
to be tapped later as houses are built
thereon, when the society will get the
benefit of the transfer of part of the
expense or rather a re1unding of a part
of the present outlay.
The second plan contemplates the
use of 1880 feet of pipe at eighty-three
pounds to the foot, or 1870 tons. Follow
ing then is the expense outside of the
fairgrounds:
$50 tons of pipe at $22 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SO $50
1850 feet trenching, laying, etc. ....... l. 305
1850 feet lead, hemp and incidentals. -. 217
Total ... .s5, 4S2
The six-inch distribution pipes over
the grounds from this main, recon-
mended by the commissioners, can be
put in, so they say, with MIGRANTS ev-
cry 500 feet. at cost approximating
|. 70 cents per lineal foot, furnished, laid
and tested as to hydrants, valves, etc.
The appropriation is designed to fully
cover the expense Of such action as is
outlined above
