NEW WATER MAIN ON FIRST AVE-
NUE. SOUTH

At special meeting of the city
council Monday afternoon the matter
of putting in new water main on
First avenue southeast, between First
and Second streets, before that street
is paved, was considered.
L. P. Runkel, representing the Water
Power Company, was present and he
stated that the company was not anx.
ious to put in the main, as the revenue
from same would not warrant the ex-
pense, estimated at about $4,000.
The councilmen felt that it was very
important that the main be put in be-
fore paving is done and it was there
fore agreed that if the Water Power
Company would not put in the main the
city would do so. The only hitch was
the question Of financing the work.
Mr.. Runkel finally offered to pay for
the installation Of the main if the city
would install it. The council accepted
his offer and the work was ordered done
under the supervision of the street
commissioner, by day labor.
The old main on this street is but q
:two-inch main which was put in by the
city for the city hall. Several proper
ty owners on the street are served from
this same main and it is inadequate.

escape was effected Wednesday eve
ning9by Ted Crest of this city, who was
taken into custody that evening by the

and that was the last seen of him, es-
cape being effected by going through
the window and clambering down over
the edge of the porch.
