Van Vechten's admission was &c

of course: as IL he would have been
exceedingly surprised If the young
man had identified the lady Of the taxi

person. Said he;

Mr.. Flint slowly nodded his head, as

CONCRETE Wall
AT CITY filter
Needed to Prevent Seepage
Concentrating Local
Water Supply.

The erection of a concrete wall
some so feet long and eight feet high
between the two sections of the city
filtration plant will be recommended
at the adjourned meeting of the city
council to be held next Wednesday
night by the waterworks committee
This work is necessary to prevent
unfiltered water from seeping into the
city mains.
Recent analyses of the water show
that considerable amount of water
has not been properly filtered.
An investigation by the waterworks
committee has been in progress dur
ing the last few days and it was found
that seepage between that section of
the filter plant containing raw water
and that containing filtered water was
the cause.
Several leaks were also found in the
roof oe the filter plant which admitted
the rain water to the filter beds. These,
however, have been repaired.
1t is probable that plans and speci-
f1cations for the proposed concrete
wall will be prepared by the time the
council meets next week. and that a
resolution calling for bids on the
work will be passed at that time.
