which it is believed will permanently
do away With the possibility of short
age OF the municipal water supply,
such az threatened the city last sum-
mer. is now in process OF being made
north of the Iowa river near the pump
ing station. II consists of a blow" pipe
line. connecting the pumping plant with
the supply wells.
The estimated cost is sl.S43. but it
is probable that the actual cost will be
much under this. as the material has
cost less than il was thought it would
and. judging by the amount Of labor
already done, that estimate was too
high.
Used to Clean Wells.
\ line of six-inch iron pipe 2.304 feet
in length. is being put down from the
pumping station to the city wells. west
Of the Center street road. II is to be
used for the sole purpose Of cleaning
the wells frequently and preventing the
screened points from filling and COR
roding. II viii replace the old power
plant near the wells which has been
used for this special purpose,
This plant had become useless owing
70 the fact that the boiler had Worn out
and the we'll from which the water was
pumped to blow out the city wells. had
become clogged. In order to have used
it it would have been necessary to buy
a new boiler and pull this well.
New Method Permanent.
The method OF keeping the screens
OF the wells clean will be permanent
The pipe line is to be connected with
each Of the wells. and the opening Of
a valve will be all that is necessary to
blow" out a we'll and clean the screen
so that the water can flow thru 1t free
ly The water for this purpose will be
pumped thru the pipe line being put
down. the power coming from the

do all that will be required to do the
work Of blowing the wells. II is planned

The Chicago G. Northwestern is max

thru the yards placing bed plates un-

The cast iron plates give the rails a
better bearing on the ties. and make
the ties last longer by distributing the
pressure over a larger area. The dis

Of heavy trains make the roadbed
