I would not make very many changes had I to build it over again. This Is the tersely stated opinion of Samuel Fortier of the Ogden Waterworks system by the man who engineered and superintended the construction of the plant. Engineer Fortier Is now one of the chief engineers connected with Ihe irrigation service of the United States government, and la making a tour of the west In connection with hie Investigations His attention was called to carious statements attaributed to him by men In discussing the problem now before this city the purchase by the city of the present waterworks system. 1 superintended the work of putting In the Ogden City plant, Engineer Fortier said yesterday at the Herd hotel. 7 designed the plant and the work of construction and Installation was done under my supervision. In my opinion the directors made Just one mistake. I made a strong plea for cast Iron pipe for the portion of the system. In this I was overruled. Kalameln pipe was substituted. In every other respect the plant has been entirely satisfactory. "The Ogden conduit Is of stave pipe and riveted steel and although laid IS years ago it is still perfectly sound and good. Its capacity la sufficient for a city of at least 60,000 population. 1 undersand that the kalameln pipe, especially the email else, has been perforated In places with rust holes. This may be due either to salts or alkali In the soli or to deficient pipe. I am reliably Informed, however, that all the larger sixes of piping have not been seriously effected. I say this to counteract that statements that have been made from time Inspector of the sub-treasu- ry ce to time published jo the effect that the plant is n good.
