cost of s., 937. to be appOTtioned among
the Surface Division. the Sewer Divis en-,
and the wattr Division. In giving kis
reasons for such enlargement, he sa
that owing to the very large increass

which has developed IN the last two
years, the necessity of proper storage

necessary to meet the regular demands

difficulties in the way Of securing
building ownod by private parties which
meets the needs of a cement storage
house and the opinion is expressed that
on the score OF economy as well as con-
yenience= i would be wise for the Dis
trict TO own and control its own storsge
house for cement 1t is recommended
that the construction CO the building
for the purpose named be begun at cncs
and If possible completed for use in

it viii be necessary to buy for work in

These several recommendations have
been approved by the Engineer Com MS
