The meeting at the chamber of COM
merce rooms Tuesday night took the
form Of a forum at which topics of in
ferest, local and national, were discuss
ed. The session was opened at s o.
clock by President Charles w Hill, who
! turned the meeting over to Chairman
| James B. Fullerton. The first topic dis
cussed was the need of new water
| main from the pumping station to the
Valley street junction. Mr.. Fullerton
called on Alderman Edgar w. Jacobs for
remarks and the latter proposed that
City Engineer Robert E. Mitchell tell
| what he knew on the subject. Mr.. Nit
clell read set Of figures of the cost of
installing new pipe, 14-inch pipe
would cost s64937, he said, 200 feet
of pipe being needed. A 1s-inch pipe
! would cost $4,000 and an 1S-inch pipe
s9o,9S0.
i In talking on the subject he brought
up the matter of cleaning out the pres
emit 12-inch pipe, quoting figures from
Kansas City engineers who had cleaned
pipes in that city when the pressure was
not up to what was needed. He thought
it wise plan to make a thorough ex-
animation Of the main city pipe with "a
/ View to cleaning it before the city went
TO the expense of laying a new pipe In
i the discussion that followed several men
said that htey understood that the life
| of pipe. was thirty years. Others told
Of knowing pipe that were older than
thirty years and yet were as good as
new. In the Kansas City letter some of
the pipe cleaned were well over, forty
years old and yet were in fine condi-
ton. It was voted that the chamber of
! commerce stand back of any action the
common council might take with a view
: to investigating the condition of the
! main water pipe and lend any aid need
ed in carrying through any project the
| council might undertake
The question of the Fordney bill, on
: the American valuation plan came up
| and after lengthy discussion it was
voted that the local chamber go on rec
ord as favoring the American valuation
plan. Another vote taken placed the
chamber on record as favoring the Con-
nectlcut plan on valuation. In the dis
cussion much time was taken up dis
cusSing the merits of placing a tariff on
foreign made goods brought into this
country far below the price at which
they can be produced here. In favor of
the action Of tariff it was stated that
; low prices on foreign-nlade goods would
not benefit the American people If local
manufacturers were forced to suspend
! business because they could not compete
with foreign manufacturers. It was
urged that it was better to have local
mills running at full time, giving the
! employees full weeks pa rather than
! to allow foreign-made goods to food To-
! cal markets at low rates with people
earning only a half weeks pay, or less.
! The vote in favor OF the American val
uation followed
