SCHOOL GETS WATER
FROM PUBLIC MAINS
Extension of System Cause of Graft
fcation to Citizens of
Garfield.

There was cause of much rejoicing
on the part of the members of the
Original Garfield Citizens Association
at the March meeting last night at the
home of President w. A. Bell, on Ala
bama avenue, when it was announced
that the work of extending the city
water mains to the public school there
had been completed and the use of this
water was now possible in this school.
For years the association has been en-
deavorlng to secure such an extension.
Not many months ago, when a few
wells were the only means of water
supply and most of these had dried
up. 1t was feared a water famine would
result. In addition to the water in the
school, and because of the extension. it
has also been possible to establish four
additional fire hydrants. and two pub
llc hydrants have been placed in con-
Venlent places. This extension, how
ever. does not supply the entire sec
tlon. and letter was read from the
authorities last night to the effect that
the question of further extensions was
being considered,

 OConnell was out late with his factory Indian, but had his same old trouble about adjusting his machine.
 Crandall lost an air valve off his Carbureter while running a little race with Boido, and had to retire to the shop for a new one.
 Montgomery on his imported Excel sior turned a few laps and spent his time fighting a balky carburetor.
 
 Wolters rode with every rider who showed up to satisfy himself as to their speed. With Crandall he turned quite few laps, both adjusting their machines.
 Harry Lane was out late in the evening. on a short-coupled Excel sior. He was unable to get much speed.
