NEW SOLUTION ,,pINe OF FOURTH AVENUE .oec1ED BY SOME OF
 CITY DADS.
Afford Ample and Satisfactory Water Supply, It Is Thought
 Double Main Needed.

,a understood that Mayor H. !, White and Alderman We l. to- her with other interested parties, inst now engaged at work on me which may prove a solution of nroblem of piping Fourth avenue, ,.h has agitated property owners others interested in the pres ucrk of improv ng that thorough over since actual operations be- and even before that time.
 rho n1ans of these gentlemen are or;ginal as they are serviceabl2. ,,octicable at all-and experienced pn say they are. They consist on1v in the running of two mains un Fourth avenue, instead of one at present.
 rhe cause of tn s idea is found in fact that the present water main ,ocated on the south side of the |eet enabling property owners along south side to make pipe connec- nc with the water main at much cost than those on the north e who are compelled to run their bes across the street in order to Ike the connection.
 rhe plans now under contemplation pyide for laying another water main u, say, Linden street east along north side of the Iron Mountain cks to a connection with an in- secting water main at some point but Main street. Estimates from reliable source say the cost of lay a four-inch pipe for this purpose Il be in the neighborhcod of $500, the completion of the work will pbably run the cost up into $2000. question naturally is whether the crested property owners along that eet can lay this main cheaper than By can connect individually w'th main or the south side of the eet
 t will be remembered that the city uncil took up this matter at a ecial session during the past week, len the previous order of the com respecting the laying of lead pipes IS resc nded and the roperty own were permitted to substitute gal plzed iron pipes if they choose. The lncil took this action because Of numerous kicks of the property ners, who stated that the cos tailed in laying lead pipes across urth avenue 10 a connection wifb
 present main wC,d be
 great. Ii is stated that y s'o is r5qNired in making the pnectlon from the north side, where the citizens of the south side can the work done for about $3o, hay so much less terri ory to traverse ne their pipes. The north side aents have about fifty or sxty ol pipe to lay in order to reach nan on the south side, and this, cam, works a great hardship up 'Aelh' When the number of resi- 'S along the affected districts is Vi ilto consideration. it W Il be 'aat the aggregate cost of lay 'ne plpes will mount up into many usands of dollars.
 mother good feature of the plans mayor White and Alderman Veil Ae lact that they will do away with necessity of tearing up the pave -' oa Fourth avenue every time a s7's out of order and needs re- '~s' Of course, if the lead pipes 0Seo this could be avo. ded large- s"av' but as the council has 'O.l1ed the use of galvanized pip N' repair work will necessitate 'as up the pavement.
 .s suggested that the cost of lay 'le parallel pipe could be con- p.aoly lessened by connecting with ""'er mains intersecting at Chest. .. ~ walnut, thus avoiding the lay '' '"o or three blocks of the p'p- AN there are comparatively few
