Present Basins in Reservoir Park
VIII BE Utilized, Engineers
State.

Bids for the construction of the pro
posed mechanical filtration plant in
Reservoir park at the head of Twenty
second street will be opened at an ad-
iourncd meeting of the city council a
7:3O o'clock this evening Five o'clock
this afternoon was the time limit fixed
for receiving proposals. Six compa-
mics have representatives here with
bids. While all had not filed their
propositions with the city clerk up TO
o'clock. it was expected that they
would do so in time to be considered
in the competition.
Ii will be recalled that bids invited
for new flteTing plant last spring
were rejected, the council at that time
rot having determined where TO locate
the mechanism, whether at the site of
the humping station on the river shore
at Twenty-fourth street or in Reser-
voir park. Engineers secured 10 adj
wise the council in the matter have
since recommended that the plant be
located on the hill. Accordingly, all
the bids that will be opened this even
ing will be on a plant to be built in
that location.
TO Utilize Present basins.
1t is proposed to utilize the greater
part of the present filtering plant, and
this will mean saving of probably
$4,000 to the city in the construction
of the mechanical arrangement. The
Df hf
ton companies who are here agree
that all three OF the big basins can be
continued in commission undisturbed
under the new order of things. 1t is
likely that the new filter plant will not
cost 10 exceed $4,000. 1t is under
stood 10 be the intention of the coun.
Gil to submit the bids TO some cOmpe-
tent consulting engineer and have him
pass on the merits of them. and his
recommendation will largely govern in
the awarding of the contract. 1t is
hoped TO have the work under way this
fall and have the plant in operation by
early spring.
