probably be temporarily settled in a
few days. A pipe is being laid from
the south end of the main, which
runs down Fourth street, to the old
railroad pump house in the south
west part Of the city, to which the

Merrell spring. The engine and
boiler belonging to the city were
moved to the location early in the
week and as soon as the connection
from the spring into the city's mains
and tanks. The distance Is fully
half a mile, about one half CT which
is covered with a four inch pipe. the
pipe the remainder Of the distance
Icing a three inch one The tank
Is nearly 100 feet above the spring,
therefore some doubt Is entertained
as to the engine being stroag enough
to force the water into the tanks.
