KIERSTED'S REPORT FILED
Lsng- Looked for Document in the Hands Of

SEALED AND CONTENTS is NOT KNOWN
Meeting of Council Committee and
Commercial Club Members Held
Behind Closed Doors and No
Information Given out.

The long looked for report OF William
Kiersted, the expert hydraulic engineer,
employed by the city to compute the value
Of the present water works plant, and to
furnish an estimate of the cost OF con-
structing a new one. is in the hands Of
Councilman Wallace, chairman of the spe-
cial water works committee. The report,
voluminous and bulky document, arrived
yesterday morning from Kansas City by
express AS soon as the package was de-
livered to him Mr.. wallace placed It under
lock and key in a vault
A meeting of the special committee Of
which Councilman Wallace is the chair
man, Il is announced, probably will be held
this afternoon. at which time the, seals on
the package will be broken and the docu-
ment read. It is said that the report covers
$50 pages Of typewritten matter. but beyond
this nothing, it is asserted by members Of
the committee, is known about the docu-
ment or its contents.
II ia possible that the substance of the
report will be given to the newspapers after
the meeting of the special committee this
afternoon OF 1t may be that the committee
will decide to keep the public in ignorance
of the nature of the report until II is SUB
mitted at the meeting of the city council
Monday night.
What transpired at the conference yes
terday afternoon between the executive
committee OF the Commercial club and the
special water works committee of the city
council was not made public. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Kiersted's report had ar
rived it was deemed best not to make dny-
thing public and those present were pledged
TO secrecy. 1t is understood. however. that
nothing very definite resulted. The Com
mercisl club representatives urged that
| something be done at once by the city
council to insure better fre protection
through Increased water service in certain
sections of the city, especially in the imple-
ment district.
Councilman Knudsen, Il Is said, outlined
his plan for a solution of the long pending
question. but what that plan is was not
made public.
