granted.
7. Kay, representing the Wooden
Mill Company, addressed the council.
He stated that his company proposed to
equip the plant with a patent apparatus
for extinguishing fires, known as the
sprinkler" process. To install the
plant would cost $4,000, and unless the
city would gi We the institution some en-
enlargement the management would not
be disposed to make the expenditure.
He asked that the city establish another
hydrant at a point convenient TO the
mills and the cannery. He further re-
quested that his company be given the
privilege ei a four-inch main to the pro-
posed hydrant.
j. NJ. Wallace, president of the Salem
Water Company, stated that his COM
pany would station the extra hydrant,
allow the connection 10 be made and the
cost to the city would be 1894 per
month.
The council was unanimously in favor
Of the establishment of the hydrant
asked for, but there was considerable
discussion over the proposition that the
city should pay the water rates for the
Wooden mills after the hydrant should
be put in. Alderman Grfswold strongly
opposed this, considering il a dangerous
precedent to allow a private institution
TO have water connection at the city's
expense.
Alderman Gesner and Mayor Bishop
spoke in favor of the city assuming this
expense in view of the value Of the
Wooden mills - Salem, and it was SO
ordered.
