Leader of City Expansion,
Mayor Eli F. Seebirt, Gives
Plans for Building Program

The fact that there VIII be a great
industrial expansion and a large
growth in the population of South
Bend during the next few years
must be taken as an accepted fact
by the officers charged with the ad-
ministration of the corporate affairs
of the city, and no program for
keeping the city in condition to meet

our city as having population OF

TO build municipal Improvements on
such larger scale places a tremen-
dous load and burden upon the
so. 600 people now living here. This
requires a careful selection OF those
things which are absolutely essen
tian from those things which are
desirable but which can be post
poned.
And in answer TO the inquiry o. the
News-Times as 10 what the Civil
City OF South Bend is doing and is
going 20 do in furnishing a GOVERN
ment TO take care of this Greater
South Bend. I viii classify improve
ments in these two classes.
Among necessary Improvements I
first mention the building e.
pumping station and the extension
Of the water system no city can
grow without pure, wholesome
water. sufficient for all domestic and
industrial needs, and adequate FIRE
protection. The possession o. such
a supply is one of the great assets

TO tap the sources and develop this
supply underlying the city

station in the southwestern part OF
the city viii soon be under way; II IS
expected TO develop a supply which

growing section. and which VIII in

which are already within the city

The city must be built IN san

/ tension OF trunk sewers and the
building OF great sewer systems In
the east. northwest apd western
parts OF the city. AlrSsdy this work
( is being undertaken in River Park
