Purchase Lots
The company has a proposition
whereby practically any person who
actually wants to own his own home
may do so on a financed plan that
costs no more than rent. If they
own their own lot, the company will
build to suit, using the lot as the
down payment. If they do not own

VAST SUM SPENT
ON CONSTRUCTION

Almost a million dollars was in
vested by the indianapolis Water
Company during last year for con-
struction work, planned to benefit
the ultimate consumer and to enable
the company to keep faith with the
people Of the city in providing
plenty of pure water and provide ade-
quate fire protection.
During 1926 the company in.
stalled 100000 feet of water mains;
of which 5J,647 feet were feeder
mains" twelve inches or larger in
diameter, to increase the efficiency
of the water service for industrial
and fire-service.
IL. S. Morse, general manager Of
the company, pointed out par
ticularly the water main extension,
twenty-inch main, from Capitol Ave,
and Georgia st. to Madison Ave. and
Raymond ST., a feeder main which
increases the efficiency of the com.
pany for pumping water to important
industries in the south center sec
ton of the city.
During the past year, Morse also
pointed out, the company Increased
its pumping facilities to a total
capacity of 40,00O,0OO gallons a day.
Pumps were installed also in the
filter plant pumping station to be
used if anything should happen to
the other stations and also to assist
in handling summer peak loads,
pumping into the distribution system
in the neighborhoods of Eighteenth
and Montcalm SITS. Northwestern
Ave. and Seventeenth st.
Other pumping machinery was in
stalled to aid in facilitating the
work of distributing water through
out the city. A 100000 gallon re.
inforced concrete reservoir was con-
structed at the Fall Creek station,
raising the reservoir capacity to
24,000, 900, Morse said.
A new 237-horsepower boiler was
installed at the Fall Creek station in
preparation for the new $4,000, 900
gallon pump. Extensive changes
were also made in the boiler room at
the Riverside pumping station in
preparation for the new boiler and
reconstruction of the entire boiler
