WATER BOARD MAY
BUILD A ROAD
Bids on Work Will be Opened
at the Next Meeting
of Board
Mr.. KNOX DOES
NOT FAVOR MOVE

Because Monday is Washington's :
birthday anniversary, the Board Of
Water Commissioners held their regu-
lar weekly meeting to-day
Coleman Bros, contractors. who are
building the new filter plant, made a
proposition to the board to build about
900 feet of new road leading to the
filter site, next to the Elliott prop
erty. The contractors want to use
the road to haul over and when the
hauling is completed TO place il in good
condition. The idea is to leave off the
road covering until after the compile
ton OF the filter.
Mr.. Knox said the price submitted by
the contractors was reasonable enough,
but he thought that the road should
not be built until after the filter is
completed.
The proposition looked good to Com
missioners Shaw and Ford and they
voted to have the work done.
Mr.. Knox voted against the motion
as he did not think it was right to
award the work without asking for
bids.
Mr.. Ford then withdrew his motion
and made another to advertise for bids
to be opened next Monday a week.
Mr.. Knox also refused to vote for
this motion and remained by his ori-
ginal objection, that the road should
not be built until after the filter is
completed. The motion was carried.
however.
President Shaw made the remark that
Philadelphia was putting in slow sand
filter the same as the board was putting
in here and Mr.. Ford said he was inform
ed that a similar kind of a filter was be-
ing installed at New Orleans.
The request of D. l. ToplSis, for water
service in Twenty-second street, between
Jefferson and Madison streets, to supply
new houses he is about to build there, was
granted. Tie board decided not only to
lay the main i'm that square but TO con-
tinue it TO Monroe street. so as to do
away with a dead end at Madison street.
II was decided to do this - the recon-
mendation of the chief engineer.
Chief Engineer Kienle reported that
owing to the shortage Of funds, work on
the proposed offices of the department,
at Sixteenth and French streets. was
stopped to-day. He said that the plumbing
supplies has been removed from the build
ing at Sixth and King streets TO the new
shop at Sixteenth street and that the
plumbers force would be transferred TO
the new shop on Monday.
The current fund of the board amounts
to sSS,67 and the special fund S6S49s Pay
rolls Of s7s9S6 current, and special s15s.S4,
were allowed.
