Bloomington Water Works Quarrel Settled Friday.

The public service commission was petitioned Friday by Mayor John G. Harris to send an engineer to Bloomington to draw up plans and specifications for a pipe line connecting the new and old waterworks system at Bloomington. These .specifications, with the approval of the commission, will be given to all firms who wish to bid on the work. This plan was decided on at a meeting Friday night between Mayor Harris, the members of the city council and a citizens' committee. This is the first time the city administration and a large number of ciizens, who have been objecting to the course the adinistration has been taking in regard to the construction of a pipe and power line, have been able to come to an understanding. The agreement reached is to let the public service commission have the specilcations drawn and then direct future steps.
