The report was made up principal

ing designed to remedy the defects
and irefficiencies found in the system,

showing practical and thorough
knowledge of both systems.
Tho first recommendation was as
10 the water mains, suggesting that
IN eight inch pipe be put in from the
square down Seventh street and to
the pumping station, thus giving
duplicate main, as protection should
the one on Sixth street get broken.
This he stated could be done with
only about three blocks of piping.
This would also put the pumping sta

The capacity of one of the pumps
is about 100000 gallons every TWEEN

points about the city where 1t is prac-

be- re-established, the station be pro

another inspection Wednesday and
found it to be in better shape and in
