Tonight at o'clock a. special com mittee of local manufacturing men, headed by IT, C. M Thomson, presi- dent of the American Hardware cor poratiOn, will meet with the special council committee on the Burlington water supply to discuss the situation and to make recommendations which will undoubtedly be put before the council at it's special meeting on Fri day evening.
 The manufacturing interests, as tho largest users of water and without which they would be unable to Opcr- ate have held several meetings to in vcstigate the matter and have also made several trips to the Burlington hills to look over the ground. While all the civilians who expressed them selves at the special meeting last Fri day night opposed the building of the proposed tunnel because of the cN- cessive cost, they agreed that if the manufacturers thought it best to go ahead with that work at present they would waive their objections. AL though the original estimate of the cost has been put at about $325, 1000, \. J. SIopcr hasstatcd at a public meet ing that he believes the net cost would reach between $75Q,00 and a million dollars.
