Mr. Kemley, of the lamp fjiimlttee, re

The reert el the water committee, with
resolutions attached, having beeu received
from common council, .Mr. Herger moved
that the action of common council be con
curred in.
Mr. Wlse asked what would be the cost el
romevlng the works from the city mill te
Kanck'aaud making the howera m propesod
by the committee.
Mr. Herger replied that threo plana ler
Kowerago and a hotter water nupply bad
been propeseJ, surveya had been made mid
tlie cost uttlumei. Oue pln'i was te let tee
water works remain whero tbey are and
carry the bowerage from tbe northeast lor ler lor
tlen et the city by it tunnel emptying below
the water werka. The la'luiated ivht vf this
was 193,000. An lntercepuug aevutr folloa felloa follea
ing the line ul the creek and emptying
below the water works, would cost
much mero money. The purcUme
of the Ranck preperty and the removal of the
water werka te that point, together with tbe
uoceaaary sewera te drain the northeast por
tion of the city, na ricominendod by tbe com
mittee, would net cebt moie tbanl,U00.
Mr. Herger thought tlie,, city should by all
ineau,; own the Hauck preperty, whether the
water werka were romevod there or net.
Mr. Wlse Haiti be could net hce hew the
water supply would be Increased by merely
changing the location of the werka and
pumping Inte the riworvelrs uetv in use. As
te the quality of the water It bad been
analyzed and proueuncod pure. He could
nut vote for a leau fc 125,003 uuless the need et
It could be mero clearly thewii.
Mr. KvaiiH aald the IiancU property could
be bought ler about '.10,000. A & Inch tfater
main Irem Hanck'a te the rfsorvelrs could be
laid Ter about ftO.OOO. The pumps and

age below Ilinck'a would cost about 10,000.
Homeefthoso estimates may be a little low,
but he belleved that everything proposed by
the commlttce would net cost 100,000. It win
thought beat te ask for 51'rs,000 te
make sure of having enough. He bolleved
the beat thing te de would be te
buy Hanck's preperty ; then lay a 30 Inch
main te the resorvelr ; then romevo ene of
the Worthlugten pumps te Ranck'a and con
nect It with, tbe main, thoethor pumps, moan mean
while, supplylug theclty with water. When
the pump at Kanek'a shall le In rekI work
ing order, tlm oilier Worthing!"!! pump can
la reuiOTed le tbe same plnce without any
lutnrrtiptlnii In tlie water supply.
Mr, Hemley said hn thought thlsmalterhnd
lxen rather suddenly sprung upon vniinalla.
The only plan tint he bad buolefnro beard
sM)kcnnbetil wa te romevo tbe works te a
MilntalHlVO lUni'k'a. Iln siiggmtml that the
printer's psper mill pren.rty might be had,
Mr. KvatiM answered that H.iirk'spiciS)rly
was for sate nml tlie prlntei'n psier mill was
net) mid even If It ws It would cost great
ileai;inoieinoiiy,asllt!niilHliisiiiuoh valuable
machinery. Ilesldes it miuh greater li.nirlb
of water main would be riqulred, which
would add greatly le the re.t.
Mr, Herger called attention te the fact that
theie were two mills en llm Kanck preerty
nml two or three dwelling Ikiuseh. Me said
the water committee did net want te take
Intetlmlr own hands Ihn reconstruction of
the works, but would employ a thoroughly
competent engineer te nuke plans, Ac
Alter souiMfurthurillscussleu the question
of concurring In the action of common coun

At that time no oue dreamed that we at this

had also assumed an Interest In It, und lastly
tbe great undertaking was brought before
the church members ter consideration niter

Kvery oue was unanimous ler ltd erection ;
subscriptions were thou taken and the work
