matter from time to time and who ito hae icare searched hed the aur sur rounding ronn ding country for au all available and mutable suitable supply have observed the beautiful cleara clear sparkling water waters of colton springs nailing from the trev iee lets in the sol olid f rocks these springs fam a are re twenty for r and a I 1 of lt miles away from price those looking tor for a supply of water for price have usually to the that the waters of coltri springs are what we should lave but the construction of a pipe liae itne to deliver file this water to price has many times been considered beyond their reach on account of the cost but the credit is due the present city ad inin I 1 for taking ff the bull b by the born horns as a the saying goes az and ailing eating into the proposition of piping thi this 1 water to price ai at ty they proceed d with their fits strong and full of enthus enthusiasm iam over the great good that the at com p would bring to price city bo so it vai that last spring after hav lap lag debated oer ov er it for se sacral eral cral mouths they eel get out to bond the city to lie its limit tand and ordered survey surveys of the line in course of time bide bids were advertised for and slid the contract contracts were let to the lowest bidders just three day days after the contract contracts were awarded the eon con tractors tra etora were on the ground with thirty jarik pa ihl number was soon in u until wora than a hun hundred tired aa were employed and working on ou the tren thos for the pipe it was the de ire alto of the contractors

october lit let th the is pipe companies compan iea failed to live up to their contract as to the time of de livery and their failure delayed the work of construction all the pipe did not get here until late in november ast A a consequence of this construction work was thrown into the winter wea they when bad freezing weather courts the laying of the pipe had to be abandoned abend boned until next at evaeon if we were to come out with a good tight job but the work of laying the tile wood pipe aps we continued in the frozen ground the wood 1110 1 ilia line is IN a pressure line ex u goading

I 1 we now have a R tint first class pi pipeline reline for a liet nae e of a little over thirteen miles the tile big end of the job is done when the frost goes out of the ground next season it will take but a short time tinie to connect this wood pipeline with the tile pipeline which has been lail jail for several miles from colton spring springs and then price rice city will have something to bo be proud of and one of the moat most valuable assets it could acquire equi re namely a good pipeline poline pi caf capable able of delivering sot not only two se second c ond feet of water but
