of the city IF it were properly piped
into the buildings In a limited way
the steam has been supplied to some
OF the larger buildings adjacent to
the water works engines, including the
local theatre and the city hall, and
while the city has derived consider
able revenue from this source, it has
been done at practically no expense
except for the laying OF the pipes
The plan of offering the steam heat
to the general public at a reasonable
charge is favored by many of the
dounciImen as well as by the mayor,
and IS argued that the service would
