~E COUNCILS PLAN.
(watsr Committee Reports the scheme Of
Enlargement Of System,


Enlargement Of System,
The aldermanic scheme was outlined
by the report of Chairman Autrey of the
water committee last night. Two plans
we're submitted, the one adopted being
as follows:
Ist. That the I6-inch main in the
canyon be extended from its lower
terminus at the head of the city ditch
down the canyon to its mouth near the
Ingersoll place.
I'd. That the two 8-inch pipes leading
to the reservoir be connected Herewith
at this point. and the two 8-inch pipe
lines up the canyon be taken up for use
in city extensions. This will change the
distributing point to the mouth of the
canyon, where it should be. and do away
with the expense of maintaining and
protecting several parallel lines Of pipe
in the canyon.
sd. From the terminus Of the I6-inch
main replace the present 8-inch pipe
along Pearl street with I2.inch pipe to
4th street. The I7-inch and the two g.
inch pipes will thus deliver into the city
system the full capacity of the I6-inch
main. whereas under the present ar
rangement only about half its capacity
is delivered. The discharge into the
res .rvoir will be materially increased. as
we'll as the direct pressure line down
Pearl street. The estimate Of pipe re-.
quired IS approximately
Is inch pipe-3,8oo linear feet
There would be released and taken up
about 5000 feet of 8-inch pipe, which
could be utilized on Walnut to replace
3-inch pipes and elsewhere.
The alternative plan which was sug.
gested was discarded as unwise. 1t is
this:
"An alternative plan would be to put
in the I6.inch pipe as above indicated.
aud, instead of laying I7.inch pipe down
to 4th street, supplement the present g..
inch line by another 8.inch lfhe, using
the pipe taken up above for the purpose.
This would require less cash expend-
iture and would utilize all the inch
taken up"
A committee representing the express
men asked the council to have the Ii.
cense for that business repealed. 1t was
referred to tne finance committee.
The clerk was directed TO draw a war
rant for t53S 81 for balance due on fire
alarm system.
The city engineer. city attorney and
mayor were appointed a committee to
draft and publish statement to the vot
ers upon the water bond proposition.
The salaries of three city 6remen
were raised from $50 to $50 to conform
to raises Of official salaries heretofore
made.
