BIG PLANS FOR THE FU1
New Filtering Plant Ordered IN
ed and RepaVing of Bushnell
District Decided Upon.

During the year just passed II
Island has taken a number of deci3
steps along the line of public imDr
ments and the Identifying and BET
ing of the city in general The n
important of the civic impTovemf
which were worked out during the
was the decision OF the city council
build a new filter plant for the city
/ an expense of about $4,000. TheyA
of such a plant had been recogniA
years past, and agitation for it
taken place, but il remained for
/ present city council to decide by VI
Of TO TO give a contract TO the PHI
burg Filter Manufacturing company
Pittsburg, Pa, to build a plant at
site of the present filter beds on
hill. The work on the new plant
not commence this year, but befd
the close of the coming summer q
city expects TO be drinking scientifl
ally filtered water from it's own pla
other Municipal improvements.
The actual expenditure for improvi
ments during the year was not as Lard
as for the previous year. mainly 81
cause the city did not feel it advisabI
TO lay out any more money than II on
The amount of work done, howeye|
was considerably above he averagl
About a mile and a half of brick pa,
ing was laid at a cost of nearly $50
900. Most OF this was done on Mint
street, paving having been laid ther
from Third avenue TO the city limit
at Eighteenth avenue at a cost of scr
600. This Improvement was one tha
was agitated for many years, in orde
to give the farmers from the .countrl
south of here better road on which
10 enter the city. The rest of the paw
ing was done on Twenty-fifth stree
from Third to Fifth avenues, and OF
Twelfth street from First to Fourtl
avenues.
In order to give drainage for the NJ
Best building. a sewer on Seventee
street was laid from the building
Fifth avenue. where It connected VII
the Fifth avenue drain. This draif
had to be laid in several feet OF soliC
rock. and an unfortunate mistake a:
to fits depth made fl necessary to do
part of the work over after IL had sup
posedly been completed. The cost OF
this drain was $1,000. In addition Ia
this. $4,000 was spent In building a
storm drain on Ninth street.
New water mains were laid on For.
tieth greet from Fifth to Sixth ave
nues; on Thirty-sixth street from
Twelfth 10 Fourteenth avenues. and to
the Island View Heights addition in
the southeast part OF the city. The
total amount spent in water mains was
about $4,000.
Very little sidewalk was laid during
the year, the most Of # being in the
Seventh ward. where $500 was spent
for this purpose.
