Twelve carloads of pipe for the
booster main are being shipped from
Ohio and will be hurried thru as rapidly
as possible. Work on this main will
commence as soon as the shipment ar
rives. There are several reasons why
this work Is being pushed at this time.
One Is the saving to the city by pur-
chasing the pipe at this time. There
is a saving Of from IS to 81 ton on
the twelve carloads OF four. six. eight
and ten-inch pipe over what 1t has ever
been known TO DC before. Anothie. I'm
portant reason is because Of the COM
plants Of insufficient pressure for fire
purposes at the factories and in the
northeast part of town. This will be
remedied when the new main !s put in
Then IL will give employment for all
men out OF work. Work will commence
as soon as the shipment arrives and
will be dorc by he day instead Of by
contract Preference will be given to
men living In the city. The main will
start from the water plant and go west
to Spring street. From there 1t will go
north, passing between the automobile
and buggy sections OF the Spaulding
factory and keeping on to Tenth avenue
Then as a six-inch main. 1t will go east
to Elm street. tapping the mains in the
northeast part of town and giving them
additional pressure. Four inch mains
are to be laid from First to Second
avenue. on Center street: from Third
to Fifth on Prairie street: half block
on Fifth: from Pearl to Center on
Sixth; from Sixth to Eighth on Spen-
Ger; and from First to Second on Reed.
All the lines surveyed will not be laid at
this time but no paving can be done on
these streets until the main is laid and
it is a necessary accompaniment OF the
sewer as well.
