COMPLETE NEW PIPE.

Moline's new intake pipe. which
is expected to save the city thou
sands of dollars by reduction of
sediment, was completed Saturday
afternoon. Installing of the new
pipe and tearing out of the old one
which required more than months
work. cost the city approximately
$4,000. The new pipe gives Mo-
line consumers water from an H.
foot channel.
Results of the new pipe are al
ready being felt at the alteration
plant. which reports that the bac-
terra count has beef reduced 80 per
cent. Owing to the greater depth
of water at the mouth of the pipe,
the mouth of the pipe, the work of
the pumps has been reduced, thus
affecting considerable saving OF
coal.
