NEW WATER COMPANY
FORMED LAST NIGHT


Another meeting was held last even.
ing at the city hall of parties interest
ed in the laying of a water main on
north Third street, and an organization
was perfected for that purpose. An
agreement was presented and adopted
which will be presented to the proper.
ty owners along the street for their
signatures, when bids will be asked for
laying the pipe. According to present
plans a six-inch main will be laid to
the north side Of Thornburgh street
from Grand avenue IL on professional
advice it Is found advisable, and from
there to Lewis street a four-inch pipe
will be laid. A number Of property
owners, between Lewis and Flint streets
desired to get into the company and
carry the pipe on to the latter street,
but there was objection raised On the
ground that it would be unjust to ask
people south of Lewis to help pay for
this main inasmuch as the railroad
company owns the property along the
west side of the street and would not
go in to share the expense. These
property owners, however, will be per-
mitted to connect on to the end of the
pipe at Lewis street without charge
and will associate themselves to carry
the pipe line to whatever point they
decide on. The new company will
be known as the North Third Street
Water Pipe company and chose as Off,
