The improvement bonds have
been sold, t he money is in the city
treasury and work will be pushed
rapidly on the improvements for
which the cit izens sometime ago
voted.
Anew pump has been bought and
installed at t he waterworks plant,
and it is doing excellent work.
The new pump is about half as
large as the old one and ,M r. A. <>.
Bennett, who is in charge of this
department of the work says,that
it is giving splendid service and
that the system will soon lie in
the finest, possible condition. The
new pump can supply the city
with all the water needed, but
new parts for the old pump have
been ordered, and when this re
pairing is done the old pump will
be as good as new. The plant will
then lie equal to any emergency
and will lie able to cope with the
city’s growth for years to come.
The present plant is being im
proved in many ways.
Bids for anew electric light
plant, have been asked for and in
a few weeks work will begin on
the new plant to be installed in
some convenient place in the city.
For some days carpenters have
been at work on Gordon Insti
tute, making important repairs.
The old building was in a bad way
in some particulars and this im
provement, was absolutely neces
sary. It will require sometime to
I finish the Institute work. When
lull the repairs are made a id the
j painting is finished the Gordon
| institute buildings will look like
j new ones.
The people of the city are ro
! juicing that all these important
! improvements have been begun.
