NORTH SIDE PUMPS
DEMAND REPAIRS.
LOWER OR NEW NORTHEAST
STATION MUST BE USED.
City Engineer Trying to Arrange for
Use Of New Station, Which Has Not
Yet Been Turned Over to City
Little Prospect OF Use OF Lower
Station.

It will be necessary to shut down
the North Side pumping station at
once in order to make repairs to the
pumps, and the question is whether
the lower stations or the new North
east station shall he called into SER
vice. Public sentiment will not hear
Of the lower stations being used again
under any circumstances, and the only
alternative is to use the new pumps.
These are still under the control OF
the Holly company, and are in charge
of their own men.
Both pumps are being run a little
every day in order to wear down the
parts so that they will work smoothly.
It is assumed that in view of the dire
the company will consent to run the
pumps about eight hours a day Sc
as to assist In keeping the reservoir
basins full. City Engineer Rinker is
attempting to make arrangements to
that end. While no objection ssa i Is ha. 81
waterworks officials are In a mood to
in the service of the city.
The murderous suggestion of start
ing the lower pumps it is hoped or
all sides, will never seriously be raised
here again.
The two Worthington pumps at the
North station are in bad condition
It. has not been possible to overhaul
them for long time for obvious rea-
sons, and as result they are wear
ing out rapidly. The lining of the all
pumps is gone and must be replaced
at once. One pump can be operated
while the other is being repaired, but
it cannot do the work alone, and must
have assistance from the new station
Or the lower ones. It will take about
two weeks to repair the air pumps FOL
both pumps.
Mr.. Rinker visited the Northeast
station this afternoon to confer with
the Holly representative in charge: He
says that If one of the pumps can be
run twelve hours per day it will suf-
Ace, as both reservoir basins are full
He believes there is no reason why
there should be any objection from
the Holly people to operating their
pumps twelve hours a day for about

MUSICAL MERGER
IN TWIN CITIES
PLAN TO EXTEND SCOPE OF
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
The Idea Is to Establish Closer Co
operation Between the Philharmon-
les and the ST. Paul Choral Club
Both Would Back Orchestra, Whose
Success Would Be Assured.

The latest merger proposed is must
cal. Minneapolis and st. Paul have
co-operated in occasional. ventures and
the fact that they lie SO close together
has enabled them to secure many
great musical attractions such as
neither could have secured alone.
Together the two cities could support
a symphony orchestra capable Of TAX
ing high rank, but the Minneapolis ex-
pertinent this year has shown that 1t is
dubious proposition for either city
to undertake such an enterprise alone.
Next year if the supporters of the
merger idea succeed in their plans the
scope Of the symphony orchestra will
be widened and it will become a twin
city organization giving its concerts in
both cities. This can be done with
but little added expense, as rehearsals
are what swallow up the income of an
orchestra. The orchestra then can he
greatly increased in quality, and con-
dltions that, will permit development
are Imperative, If this music center 5is
to retain the valuable services of Emil
Ober- Hoffer, conductor Of the orches-
ira, whose achievements with the new
organization have been the pride and
wonder of it's best wishers.
No orchestra concerts have been
given in st. Paul this year, altho this
has not been due to any lack of inter-
est on the part of st. Paul music low
ers, but it was not feasible to make
dates there after the men of the or
chestra had made their plans for the
year.
The plans being considered extend
beyond a combination to secure a
series Of symphony concerts for both
cities. In order to strengthen the st.
Paul Choral club and also to give ad-
ditional engagements to the orchestra,
it is proposed to give the concerts of
that society on the same basis the
Philharmonic Club series in Mime
apolis, with the orchestra as an essen
tial part Of the musical works inter-
preted. In order to do this it will be
necessary to elect Mr.. tOber-Hoffer
director of the Choral club. This
ST. Paul Choral club purpose to do.
No action can be taken in the matter
until after April IS, when the club
holds its annual meeting for the cleo
ton of officers. The plan of having
the orchestra assistance in the con-
certs would doubtless appeal to the
members of the society, if the expense
is not too great, but there is a con-
siderable element in the club which is
unwilling to lose the services OF
George Fl. Huntington. the director
and this is involved in the successful
prosecution Of the merger plans.
tering into the situation is the ques-
ton of Minneapolis auditorium
Unless a suitable place for the orches-
ira concerts is assured this spring, II
is probable that no steps will be TAX
en- to hold the orchestra together. It
is reasonably certain that some plan
will be adopted by which the orches-
ira can secure enough st. Paul par
ronage to help out its future plans,
but without a new Minneapolis audi
torium its affairs have reached an
1mpasse. +

Minneapolis and st. Paul Both Trying to

There is merry war on between the

Since. the adoption of the new ordinance

and have gone to St. Paul, only to be

hand, many of the ST.. Paul "vags' come
to Minneapolis because there are more
woodsmen to prey upon. In ordering Hen

are getting altogether too many of st.
Pauls Migrants. See that this man is
sent back where he belongs, and don't
allow others to stay here if you can
