For Continuous Stave.

The continuous stave pipe if milled
of sufficient size on the Sound, then
shipped to your climate and allowed
to lie sometime before being as
sembled, will give good results and by
re-cinching after it has been laid in
the ditch, can be made a thoroughly
satisfactory pipe; and whilst a differ
ence of $19.620 looks very large. we
still cannot afford to pay $4,000 for
vice as against $4,000 or $4,000 for
something that will give us good SER
vice for many years. Therefore, after
the most careful examination and the
most thorough consideration, l am
forced to recommend the acceptance
of the bid of the National Wood Pipe
company for their continuous stave
pipe and l have prepared a form OF
contract including all detail specifi-
cations therein, for the proper accept
ance of their bid. This compels all OF
the said pipe to be fully constructed
in position and ready to serve the city
on or before the first day of July of
this year
BY assembling these slaves from
many mills throughout the country,
the work can be done within that time
and water can be brought to your city
by the critical period of summer and
know of no other means by which that
can be done.
In this contract, l have provided
that the pipe shall be cinched at least
twice after it's original erection. This
re-cinching or bach-cinching as it is
called, will be done under the super
vision of experienced inspectors, Sc
