CITY HALL NOTES.
Some Things That viii Probably Be Done
With the Water Supply.

The water committee will probably be
called together Friday afternoon to lay
OCT the work to be done with the water
supply system during the coming sea-
son. 1t is necessary that action be taken
soon In order that W9ter Commissioner
Brady may call for estimates ON pipes,
etc.
1t is planned to continue the 40-inch
pipe which now comes to New Worces-
ter from Parsons reservoir, down Main
street to Wyman, down Wyman and
Beacon to Hammond. From thence on
a 36-inch pipe will run down Beacon,
through Southbridge, coming up the old
railroad location. across Park street and
the common, through Commercial street
down as far as school street. This route
Is taken TO avoid using Main street.
general public will certainly appreciate
the smooth streets while the work is
going on.
Greendale wants better service and it
is planned to extend the 16-inch pipe in
Prescott street through North, along
Grove. out West Boylston street as far
as the small pipe is laid. This will make
a high service line of what is now low
| service.
There is also a plan of Strengthening
the service at Quinsigamond in some
form.
| The Beacon street system will give the
large concerns on the east side of the
| city, near Main, all the water they de-
| sire. At present when all are using the
water 1t comes slowly and the house
keepers in the city often have to suffer
| in consequence. This system is low SER
| vice.
! The high service system is all right as
| it is, The pipes laid last year have been
great help. The pipe is S0-inch from
| New Worcester. through Main, May
wood and Park avenue to Chandler.
| through Chandler, Dewey, Austin to
Main, and a 20-inch through High,
Pleasant, Chestnut, Walnut, Harvard
and Highland to Lincoln square. This
connects with the old high service line
on Main street at Austin, Chatham,
| Pleasant, Elm and Highland streets and
makes it available for use on Main
street in case of urgent need at big

MORE SHIPS FOR DEWEY.
Tho A dmiral Will Be Sent Few Armor
Clads.

Washington, August Hit has been
almost settled definitely that several big
ships will go to Manila to reinforce Ad-
miral Dewey and to allow the withdrawal
of some of the vessels of his command,
| which are very much in need Of dry
docking. The understanding IN naval
circles is that some ships will go to the
Philippines by way of the Suez Canal, no
| matter what is the outcome of the peace
situation. A large naval force will pro-
coed to Spain to destroy Camara's feet if
the Spanish answer necassitates a sever
ance of the present dealings with the
Madrid ministry through the medi UNI of
the French ambassador. 1t is intended t.
maintain Commodore Watson's Eastern
squadron as it is now com posed. His
force will join Dewey's at NJ anila, If
peace commissioners are appoi nted to re-
main there pending settlement OF the
disposition of the Philippine question.
Information that came out confirms the
understanding that Admiral Sampson
will command the deet that will I'M
doubtedly be sent out to remove the last
vestige of Spanish naval strength from
the seas If active hostilities are resumed.
The purpose of the government to hold on
to the Philippines is indicated In the de-
cision to augment Dewey's force with
Watson's squadron in any contingency.
The ships composing that formation are
being held subject to the orders of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Should the peace over
lures be broken off Sampson will proceed,
it Is understood, with large force OF
warships, including those OF Watson's
division, to carry out an offensive GAIL
paign at the very doors of Spain.
This arrangement has been In contem-
plation ever since the peace overtures
were made by Spain, and in fact was
practically decided on. Nearly all the
real fighting ships of the American navy
are in Guantanamo bay getting ready for
return to active service. The battleshtp
Texas will soon be in good condition
again and will sail under the command
OF Captain Charles d. Sigsbee to join the
other vessels of SIMPSONS feet. Watson's
command will be increased by the
armored cruiser Brooklyn, according to
the report In circulation among naval
officers, SO that his squadron will consist
OF three armorclads. the Brooklyn, the
Oregon and the Massachusetts,, and three
auxiliary cruisers, the Yankee, the Dixie
and the Yosemite. The last named YES
sci is now at Newport News awaiting
orders to sail as convoy to several golfers
at Norfolk. There has been no abandon.
ment of the plans to have a big lighting
squadron rendezvous at point not far
from the European mainland, ana II
active hostilties in the Atlantic are re-
sumed 1t Is There that Sampson ana Wat
son Will go being joined at the rendezvous
by the Yosemite and the Golfers and such
other vessels as may be added to the force
which are now in the West Indies.
