PROPOSM) WATHR MAIN
EXTENSIONS AUK SHOWN.
Wator Commissioner Welch has
placed on exhibit In a window of tho
Groon blllnrd hall a mnp of tho pro
posed water main extensions, togeth
er with that portion of tho city that
Is served by six Inch mains, tho lo
calities that have but two Inch mains,
and the soctlpn that has no wator ser
vice. Tho notations on tho map stato
that there aro G92 consumors on the
fi-lnch mains, 760 on 2-Inch mains, and
thoro aro 1G1 rosldoncoa that have no
service. Tho proposed extensions are
sinteu to no tiurtoon and two-tenths I
miles In longth. or equivalent to lav-'
ing a 6-Inch main from the Union IV
olilc depot in this city to a point one1
mile wost of the dopot In Hershoy.
Tho cost of the extension and the
replacing of small mains by larger
ones is estimated by Comlsslonor
Welch at $150,000 If the pipe is pur-'
cuusM in tho Immediate future; if.
the work is delayed tho cost will im i
greater a pipe is advancing In price. .
AVliile there may bo some who will
oppose a bond Issue of ?150.000. a big ,
majority, no doubt roalizo tho neces
sity of those extensions and will fnvnr 1
tho bonds. In fact ovory one of the
B92 consumors who havo had tho
benefit of service from 6-inch mains
should not hesitato to holp out the
consumors who have lnul tn lio nmi.
tont with tho poor Bervlce obtained 1
irom -mcn mains and the resiUonts
who havo had no service, for tho
consumers who havo had poor service
and tho residents who havo had no
sorvico have boon paying tho samo
taxes in proportion to tho valuo of
their property as havo the residents
who have enjoyed that excellent ser
vice rendered by a ,6-lnch main.
