MAYOR HAUSSE|NG
URGESCONFERENCE
. ON MEADOWS PLAN
Suggests That Engineers, and
City Officials Meet to Recon-
ciIe Differences.
SAYS COURAGE AND
.FAR-SlGHT ARE NEEDED
legislation Required Before Vast
Scheme of Dock Improves
ments Is Launched.

In. letter to the Board of Works
this afternoon concerning the. cfty's
plan of meadow. reclamation and other
public undertakings, Mayor Jacob
Haussling recommended a conference
between experts, city officials and mem
bers of the Board of Trade, that some
agreement may be reached in the light
of the many differences of opinion con-
tanned in the, plans which have been
submitted. The letter follows
The Mayors Letter.
"In the several reports submitted by
the advisory engineers of your honor
able body and Henry S. Adams, one
of the engineers engaged by me to go
over the projected plans for meadow
reclamation and the construction of
docks and a ship canal, there have
been exhibited SO many and such
serious differences of opinion from a
technical standpoint that 1t seems to
me 1t would be highly proper and de-
sirable to have a conference or series
of conferences at which these experts
might discuss the points of issue in the
presence of the city authorities and.
others.
II would suggest that your honorable
body arrange for a series of public con-
ferences, to which might be invited
members of the Board of Trade and
others who have interested themselves
in the project, in addition to the city
officials who would naturally attend. l
believe 'etAat I could arrange for a visit
of Mr.. Adams to the city during the
session of such a conference, and l am
of the impression that such compensa-
ton as he might desire could be
granted to him out of the unexpended
balance of the fund appropriated to
my order by the Common Council for
the purpose of securing expert opinion
upon the plans for the projected inn
provement. ...f4ss
III seems scarcely necessary to
point out the advantages of such con-
ference AS I propose. In free, and,
to certain extent, informal discussion
of the points at ISSUE those of us who
are charged with the responsibility of
adopting the plans, will much more
readily reach a conclusion as to what
will be rights At the same time the
public will obtain better knowledge of
the situation. and such, doubts as may

Notice to Water Consumers.

Water consumers are kindly re-
Quested to examine their water pipes
and bibs for leaks and if any are
found stop them at once. From infor-
nation received we Judge many flat
rate consumers are using entirely too
much water on yards and streets;
this excessive use of water will. we
suspect, result in the city forcing all
flat rate consumers to install meters
At an enormous expense our water
plant is run day and night to its ut
most capacity to keep the city sup
piled, and in case of a break down
we would be in a dilemma
We want our inspector to visit the
home of every flat rate consumer in
the city and cut the water off at
every place where the parties are
letting it 90 to waste This may
sound ugly but we must do some
thing in self defense. Should the in
spector find water going to waste
OH Soul PREMISES ana cut you OIL
you should not complain as we have
sent you this notice, but you should
send for the plummer and have him
stop the leaks and then notify the
city inspector to come with his key
and get your dollar and turn the
water on. The great waste of water
and the terrible strain on our water
plant to keep the city supplied
