was lost when material ana supplies
were on hand. He organized his
forces well, he got the best of work
out of the men. He stood for no
time killing or soldering" on the
part of the workmen. He made ev
cry dollar count and show its value
in work.
The last piece of the work was
completed yesterday afternoon and
the big task was ended.
Mayor Wentworth, Supt. Vedder
and the committee of council hav-
ing supervision over the purchase of
the supplies worked conscientiously
and faithfully in the matter The
best of material, was secured at the
best possible price, the city's inter-
ests were carefully guarded, no
money was wasted. The construc-
ton work was done in a splendid
manner under the direct supervision
, of Supt. Vedder assisted by mayor
W entworth and it goes without say
ing that the work has been turned
out in fine shape with such men as
Vedder and wentworth at the helm.
Supt. Vedder naturally finds mucn
satisfaction over the fact that he was
able to construct and complete the
main pipe line from the pumphouse
219.3S, or over $4,000 less than the
cost of this piece of work had been
estimated by Mayor Wentworth and
he has the reputation of being a
careful, accurate and successful max
er of estimates on construction costs.
Mayor Wentworth's estimate of the
cost of this piece of work was $780,
100. 1t seems that Supt. Vedder
was able to beat the estimate by saw
ings made on the labor on the pipe
line.
The cost of the pipe and other
supplies and of the work of laying
| the lines and making the connec-
tions, etc, was provided for by a
bond issue made by the city some
months ago and in a very short time
| every bill connected with the work
| will have been paid.
| Nine new fire hydrants were plac-
| ed in position by Supt. Vedder as
! part of this work.
| The work of making the big ex-
| tension has been done in excellent
time and in fine shape and Supt.
Vedder, Mayor Wentworth and the
city council are to be congratulated
upon the complete success of their
plans in the matter and the satisfac-
tory result of their labors.
The daily sentinel., 1908-08-08

The system is in better shape than
it has been in years. Most satisfac-
tory service is now being given and
the conditions generally surrounding
the pump house, the water system
and the service are certainly such as
should be highly satisfactory to the
city officials and to the people in
general.
The big improvement to the city
water system was made and COM
pleted at cost of S32, 500 and the
main extension, the pipe line from
the pump house to Gunnison avenue
was made at cost of exactly $685.
219.3S, or more than $4,000 less
than the estimated cost and the esti-
mate was considered a very close
and careful one.
A total length of. four miles and
three hundred feet of pipe was laid
by Supt. Vedder. The sizes of pipe
laid were IA inch, II inch, inch
and 4 inch.
5000 feet of IL inch pipe was
laid from the reservoir on Orchard
i.esa to the line of Gunnison avenue
on the north side of the city, this
being the longest and most import
ant string of pipe laid Then 700
feet of 4 inch pipe were laid from
the reservoir to the pumphouse.
Six inch pipe was laid on Rood
avenue from 18th to 18th streets;
on White avenue from 18th to 18th
streets; on Teller avenue from 3rd 20
5th streets; on Hill avenue from Bird
to 9th streets; on Belford avenue
from 5th to 9TH streets; on Chipeta
avenue from 7th to 9th streets and
700 feet of 6 inch pipe was laid on
North Seventh street.
In the Crawford Addition 1,O16
feet of four inch pipe was laid
All of these extensions were badly
needed and the city council is to
be commended for its efforts to get
the pipe AL in and the work com
pleted during the present season and
before the demands on the city wa
| ter system reached point where
great Inconvenience would be exper-
| fenced not only by the plant and
system but by the water users them
selves.
Supt. Vedder started the work in
March. He employed from 10 to 40
men from time to time on the work
had there not been long delay
owing to the failure of shipments of
pipe and other supplies and material
to arrive on time the work would
have been completed long ago. Supt.
Vedder made good time. Not a day
