SALT WATER MAINS
 WILL PROBABLY BE
 LAID UNDER WALKS

The new salt water mains which are being laid by the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company for the City of Juneau will probably be laid un. der the sidewalks of the down town streets. This morning P. R. Brad ley, Mayor B. D. Stewart John Richards, C. K. White, made an examination of the streets and it was their decision that the main should be laid under the sidewalks to avoid tearing out the street pay ing.
 If laid under the center of the otreet it would be necessary to tear up the planking along the entire route followed by the main, while if the walk is torn out 1t will only block traffic on one side of the street for a short time.
 The mains are being laid as fast as possible and 8 large crew of men are busy at present digging the ditching ahead Of the pipe laying gang.
