Hydraulic Engineer to Go Over Proposition to Relieve Water
 Situation
standpipes on Oak Hill and New Main
 Suggested

No action was taken by the common council at the special meeting of that body. Tuesday evening, relative to calling a special city meeting to see if the city will appropriate Sl50,000 to reconstruct it's water plant in accord ance with a plan submitted through the water commissioners by Henry A. Symonds of Boston. hydraulic engin- eer.
 The matter is held in abeyance to hermit a plan suggested by City En- gineer George W. Perry to be investi- gated. Mir Perry believes that the city can relieve the water pressure situation with it's entailed fire hazard with an outlay of third of that called for by the plan of Mir. Symonds.
 Mr. Perry's plan, as outlined to the council. is to remodel the present standpipe on Oak Hill by enclosing it in reinforced concrete and extending it to an increased height If this is not sufficient he would build another standpipe nearby. This, Mir. Perry says. with new main on School street. would give a storage supply of 100000 gallons and would increase the water pressure. He estimated that the standpipes would cost around SfS,000.
 When it was stated by C. Dwight Sharpe, superintendent of the water department. that the present mains throughout the city had been reduced in size through incrustation and sedi- ment, it was admitted that the pipes had never been cleaned process that had been resorted to with satisfactory results in other cities.
 Mayor Ghapdelaine appointed the following q committee Co investigate the feasibility of the plan suggested Aldermen Rogers, Richard, Ames and Dubois. The committee will submit the proposition to hydraulic enRin- ger and make it's report at a special meeting of the council. Tuesday eve ming. March 30.
 The members of the council have determined that the hazard under winch tt city Is existing through lack of water pressure must be removed, and had recommended that the sum of sl50O00 be appropriated for that par- pose. The mayor and aldermen felt, however. that If the relief can be brought about at less expense, or even if there k q possibility that 1t can be done. that q suggestion coming from such a source as their own city en- pineer should have consideration and attention, even though a short delay k caused thereby.
