failed 10 appear. Two former water
commissioners, Edward W. Pendleton
and Joseph j. Crowley, were present,
and opposed any change from the
present system. Mr.. Crowley spoke
in favor OF bringing the city's water
supply from Lake Huron; and Mr..
Heating will probably place In his re-
port provision giving the city power
to undertake the project, providing
the legislature will sanction the nee
essary bond issue Engineer George
Fenkell. OF the water board, gave $780,
900. 900 as a rough estimate Of the cost
OF a 200,000.000 gallon plant.
Both commissioners opposed a
one-man water board. They argued
that because of the peculiar problems
which must be solved, five prainy men
are needed. They were against giving
fhe collection OF water rates to the
city treasurer. claiming that the pres
ent system brings the people in closer
touch with the water department. and
gives them an opportunity to bring in
omplaints They were inclined to
favor a plan by which the ID. p. w.
would fill the trenches in the streets
made by the water works department
to lay pipes and mains. but Mr.. Fen.
kell protested that the work would
not be done as quickly by the ID. p. w.
Asked why the water board could not
lay new stubs in new sections. before
pavements we're laid, Mr.. Fenkell re-
piled that a new neighborhood often
builds up in a manner different from
that planned. and that many of the
pipes would probable become useless.
