WATER MAINS ARE REPLACED AT WOODRUFF Company Making Extensive Improvements for Good Protection^ Re-laying of water mains and Replacement of old fire hydrants in Woodruff Place will be completed by the Indianapolis Water Company probably by Saturday. This work is being done to provide adequate fire protection. Eight-inch mains are being laid in center drive from Michigan to Tenth Sts., and cross drive east and west, while six-inch mains are being laid in east drive and west drive. Fifteen new large type hydrants have replaced the old smaller type. Old Mains Still In When Woodruff Place was laid out in the ‘Seventies, four-inch mains were laid and these have served until the present. Improvements at Woodruff Place are merely part of the program of the water company for the entire city, Frank C. Jordan, secretary, said. The company is fulfilling requirements of national board of fire underwriters. • Throughout City New and larger mains are being laid in many sections of the city, including Illinois from Market to Washington Sts., Meridian from Ohio to Washington St., Alabama from Maryland to Michigan St„ Michigan from Alabama to Senate Ave., Draper from Morris to York , e t., Merrill St. and Kentucky Ave. from Missouri St. to Oliver Ave., Arsenal Ave., from Roosevelt Ave. to Tenth St., Orange St. from Spruce St. to Churchman Ave., and others. Jordan pointed 'to Indianapolis’ record in fire prevention and asserted that the water company is doing its part. • Indianapolis had a per capita fire loss last year of only $1.82, the National per capita loss being $4.79.
