Show WATER MAINS ARE BEING LAID IN MARKHAM Wm. Robbins, watermaster, started this week to laying the new cast-iron water pipe up Markham Gulch. -About 600 feet of this six-inch castiron pipe will be laid up this gulch in place of the old wooden pipe which has been there for years. This new pipe will be laid in about ten days and then the pressure valve which has been near the mouth of the gulch will be moved about 600 feet up the gulch. This will give the residents along this gulch the benefit of the high pressure which the balance of the town has enjoyed en-joyed in cases of fire from the Carr Fork water mains. , r ' When this work Is completed the concrete sidewalks will be laid . at once. - The sidewalks will extend about 700 feet up the canyon from Main street. . . ,-. -. , . |
