To the Mayor and Common Council of

| GENTLEMEN:-YOu committee ap-
! pointed last month and by you
directed to have the entire system of
| WaterWOrkS inspected would report as
| follows:
On and between February 9, and 20,
| Fred Pfeiffer inspected the entire
system on the west side and found one
hundred tWenty-three inspections free
from leakage and thirty-fOur leakageS
a few Of which were quite serious and
on and between February 20 and %,
Mr.. Pfeiffer made forty-Gne inspec-
tions on the east side and found only
six Slight leaks making a total of forty
lea kageS on the entire system.
Where leakageS were found parties
were notified aud the leakage has
been stopped practically at all places
excepting one at Bank OF Grand
Rapids and one at Grand Rapids
Lumber Company and these are being
attended to now. We found many
places where people allow faucets to
run slightly all the time to prevent
| freezing.
At present the system is in fairly
| good condition.
