Communications.
The following communication was
presented. read:
Hon. Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen-I wish to recommend
that an eight inch cast iron pipe be
80 placed In the alley behind the filter
that the water can be carried from
the present settling basin to the clear
water basin around the sand beds.
In the event Of any work on the H.
ter or In case Of re-sanding, water
could be drained into the clear water
basin and there treated with alum
and hypo chloride, this, would give
absolutely clear water and one COM
paratively free from bacteria and 9TH
er Objectionable matter.
A twenty four hour treatment gives
good results without filtration and It
would obviate pumping raw water in
to the mains. OF course 1t would also
be necessary to provide a temporary
wooden trough in the clear water ba-
sin. connected some manner to the
suction main. The chemicals would
have to be provided for and kept on
hand. but there need not be any con-
siderable expense connected with the
entire layout. Respectively. H. g.
Lykken, City Engineer.
Moved by Alderman Wadsley and
seconded by Alderman Ryan that the
communication be referred to the Wa
ter works committee. Carried. The
following communication was pre-
scented, read:
Hon. Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen would recommend
that the building inspector be In
structed to issue permit for the re-
modelling Of the old Elliott laundry
building situated on the corner Of
Sixth street and DeMers Ave. I am
satisfied that the owners will not at
this time, and for good reason, con-
struct a permanent building such as
the location warrants. II no permit
is granted the building will remain
unoccupied or be RACED. If a permit
were issued on a condition that q
good brick surface foundation be plac-
ed under the walls, the front repair
ed, all brick veneering removed from
the sides and rear and the walls COW
cred with q heavy sheet iron over
asbestos paper, and the whole build
ing covered with a fire proof roof in
my judgment all parties concerned
would be better of. 1t is understood,
Of course that the job shall be good
one. that the present rubbish, and
the shed in the rear shall be removed,
that the wall shall be finished of in
imitation stone or brick so as to pre-
pearance. Yours truly, H. G. Lykken,
Building Inspector.
Moved by Alderman Valley and
seconded by Alderman Ellestad that:
the communication of the building in
spector be adopted and that he be in
structed to issue permit for the re-
pairs Of the building as per specifica-
tions of the communication. Carried.
