College Water Plant Finished; Fine Improvement Is Made.

The gang that installed the water plant at SL Joseph’s college completed the work Friday, after about six weeks’ work and left this Saturday morning sos Plainfield, Ind., to install another plant. The tank at St. Joseph’s college has a capacity of 50,000 gallons, about half the capacity of the Rensselaer water system, but it is 40 feet higher in the air and accordingly has more power. The plant will be a great thing for the college and will afford adequate fire fighting facilities in event of fire.
