Vacate End of Street
to Protect Water Main
in Park Entrance

The expected controversy between
the Rev. William S. Harris. a realty
dealer and the city, relative to the
crossing of the Reservoir Park en-
trance by a big water main, has been
averted by City Commissioner H. f.
Bowman who on Tuesday. will intro
duce an ordinance to straighten out
the tangle.
The Harris plot, it is understood,
was a part of the f. b. Mitchell ground
that had been turned over TO the city
when the new formal entrance at
Twenty-first and Market streets was
planned. The big feed main from the
high service reservoir-the main, by
the way. which supplies practically all

section of the Hill-eXtended through
the property. If dwellings had been
erected as contemplated on the Nit
chell tract the water main -n some
cellars would have extended through
the foundations three or four feet
above the floors. Commissioner Bow
man refused TO permit this and accord
ingly had prepared an ordinance which
vacated officially that section of Twen-
ty-first street which contained the
pipe and at the same time set aside
the ground for the purpose.
