WATER FOUNTAIN
ASSURED PARK
Public Works Commits
siOner Sanction Given
Last Evening
WATERVILLE

Action taken at last nights meet
ing of the board of commissioners
of public works indicate that the
badly-needed drinking water faci-
lities for the Waterville Park
playground and athletic field will
soon be secured. During the past
year or more efforts have been
made to persuade the park depart
ment officials to install the water,
but that department consistently
pleaded that lack of funds in its
appropriation made it impossible
to give the water proper atten-
ton. There was ample opportunity
for the small amount necessary to
have been set up in the 1894 bud
get, but the matter was apparent
ly left out of the consideration.
Last night Commissioner Du-
Bots requested the board of works
to consider laying the water main
extension necessary to carry the
water from the corner of Parker
and Boyden streets to the proper
site for installing drinking water
facilities. 1t was pointed out that
the distance involved is very short
and that If the city could furnish
the pipe and other materials the
labor could probably be furnished
by the Mutual Aid Unemployment
fund. The matter was referred to
the water committee, which with
the superintendent of water and a
representative of the park depart
ment, will visit the park during
the next few days to determine
the proper location for the project.
The Recommendation will be re-
ferred back to the board in two
weeks when, it is expected, favor.
able action will be taken.
The need for drinking water
facilities in the park has been
most evident during the past three
summers, when the park has re-
ceived great deal of use. The
children playground is in use daily
use during the summer months
and the baseball games attract
large crowds each evening and on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
