The question of whom shall re-
lower the water mains when they
have been uucarchcd during the
progress of street improvement Is
becoming a very live subject just
now II worried former council
very much, and the most satisfac-
tory course It could see ft to adopt
was to pass an ordinance allowing
the water company ten cents per
foot for rc.lowcrng BY virtue OF
is franchise Il can only be com.
PEELED to lay the pipe once, unless
IL was not laid according TO the pro-
visions of It's franchise in the first
instance The matter is worthy OF
more consideration than appears at
first glance IL is claimed 10y many
that 10 cents per foot is an cNorbi.
taut price. Perhaps II is we do
not know But To give the "dcvil
his due the water company does
really get less than ten cents per
foot Taking block OF street 500
feet long and adding oo feet more
lor cross street, makes total OF
900 feet. The company gets no
pay for re'laying on the cross
streets Thus tot 200 feet ot pipe
rc.lowcrcd the company receives
$40, OF slightly less than eight cents
per foot II the property owners
re-laid the pipes themselves they
would have to pay for Recovering
on the cross streets as we'll And
this would have To be paid ior in
cash, and ten years time for pay

Tuesday night meeting that the

glneef or any one else, will tell us

big reduction OF labor, we want To
know il Then water pipes are
not connected like the Maple street
sewer, They must hold water
But don rush of with the idea
that these remarks are made in the
interests of the water company, for
we do not believe it cares who LAYS

IL Is only statement of fact aud

at issue is not price, but whether OF
