for other Red Cross workers to

It Will Supply Water for
Belt Line Industrial
Plants
CARS ON new BRIDGE
Informal Discussion Re
garding Plans At The
City Hall

The laying OF a ten-inch water
line on CASTOR avenue between
sixth and Eighth streets for the
purpose Of more adequately sup
plying water to that section Of the
city was authorized this morning by
the city board of directors at the
regular weekly meeting held at City
hall. The board authorized the
laying Of the water line at the re-
quest OF City Director Of Water ],
Clyde Morris, after he had ex'
planned the need for such a line.
The line Will serve one OF the
biggest Industrial sections of the
city with a better water supply. The
line extends from the Helmick foun-
dry for two block and takes in the
Monongah Glass factory the Lynn
producer plant and other manufac-
tories lying along the belt line.
The placing of the bigger water
line in this part Of the city was
made necessary owing to the fact
that the Fairmont Mining Machine
~ Company will soon tap the line
for some 35 or 40 houses recently
built in this section which will ma
terially reduce the pressure which
has always been inadequate. Re-
Gently fire insurance companies
raised rates on property in this VI
cinity owing to the poor water pres
sure.
The line viii cost approximately
seven thousand dollars and while 1t
will be drain on the city treasury
to take care of it just at the present
yet 1t will mark great improve
ment in the city water system and
take care Of a section OF the city
which supplies about one-third OF
the revenue received by the city
from the water department.
A discussion OF the manner in
which the NIononguhela Valley
Traction Company proposes to
reach the heart OF the city with the
East Side tracks which will ira
verse the high level bridge now In
the course of construction occupied
good portion Of the meeting OF
the Board today. The talk was in
formal and no action was taken con-
corning the matter, as 1t Is not Of
flcially known just how the COM
pany intends to take car of its traf-
flc 4.
An opinion expressed that tho
Traction company proposed to
make the west end of the high lev
ell bridge which abuts on Wash
ington streets its Eastside termin-
al met with little favor with the
members Of the board, all OF
whom were of the opinion that cars
stopping there and taking on or
discharging passengers would make
an endless amount of confusion
and would endanger traffic OF pc
destrians and vehicles. A route
up Washington street to Monroe
was suggested as well as route up
Jefferson street, but the matter was
only discussed pro and con as the
Traction company has so far not
made known its intention concern
ing its occupancy of the bridge to
the board and until 1t does no ac-
tion will be taken by the board.
Mayor w. w. Conaway voiced his
sentiments fatty against the bridge
being used as a terminal and stated
that he thought It time the Traction
company was building a terminal
structure to take care Of its traf-
flc and that the public was getting
tired Of the company using the
