At the meeting OF the waterworks
committee of the council Tuesday af-
ternoon, City Engineer Rinker was
instructed to make provision in the
construction OF the Thirty-second ave-
hue N. bridge for carrying a 36-inch
water main across the river from the
pumping station, now in course OF
erection in Northeast Minneapolis.
The object of this main is to insure
a full supply of water to the section
OF Minneapolis west of the river in
the event the new pumping station at
| Camden Place should get out of Or
| der. The city engineer made strong
| plea for a submerged main at this
point, stating that the experience Of
this and other cities justified the put
ting in Of another submerged main.
The committee was unanimous i'll ia
voring the carrying of this main
across the river on the bridge, pro-
vided the size and the weight of the
main permitted. Mr.. Rinler said this
project was feasible, and the commit
tee instructed him to incorporate it in
the plans for the bridge.
