NlX-UP IN MAKING PLANS
CAUSE OF SPECIAL ORDER
Steps at Continental Hall Extend
Over Water Main-Coping
Also Trespasses.

Because of a miX-up in making the
plans for the steps in front of Cont
mental Memorial Hall, and an uninten-
tional disregard of the fact that there Is
a water main running underneath the
sidewalk in front OF the home of the ID.
A. r.. the District has had to promul-
gate an official order concerning the
placing of copings or park walls.
In the first place, ii is stated, the broad
mable steps which lead into Continental
Memorial Hall stick out about six inches
over a water main.
This condition. says w. A. McFar-
land, Superintendent of the water depart
mont lis very Objectionable, as any
breakage in the main would endanger
the safety of the steps, and because, IL II
were necessary to excavate for repair
or inspection of the main, it would IN
evitably result in annoyance to those
using the hall
Contractor Incurs Expense.
The steps could not be changed. so it
was necessary to change the water main
by .'off setting This cost the firm OF
builders which put the steps there Sl25.
Then the cement foot Of the terrace in
front of the hall was found to super
impose an eight-inch main. The only diff
ficulty here was that some Gay the main
might have to be dug up. and question
as to who would pay for running the
coping might come up. So the Commits
sioners have ordered that hereafter cop
ings and parkings of eight inches or more
will have to be passed on by the water
department, and that repairs to this kind
of copings when they are superimposed
on a water main shall be at the cost of
the owner.
