THE
BT If 1 EIIT OF ITER WORKS
Thirty-Two Citizens Sign Petition for Mass Meeting to be Held on Friday, April 22nd to Voice Protest Against Action of the City Council.
Thirty-two taxpayers of the city are up in arms, against the proposed improvement of the water works system in Plymouth. A paper has been circulated by Atty. Kellison calling to view the conditions, which the petition says are awful, and asking the residents of the city of Plymouth to meet with them, in a mass meeting, to lie held ..t the Hnmrichottscr store room, icently occupied by the Allman siore on Michigan street on Friih.v evening, April at ? o'clock at which tvme the situation will be discussed. The -paper which was signed by Uhrrty-two citizens, protests against the installation of a water tank or stand pipe for water, pressure, which the circulated paper states will "Give us warm, stale and perhaps unwholesome water" "and at an increased expense of ten thousand dollars." One paragraph of the paper which -seems- very unfair, and not at all in accordance with the plains of the city council for improving the water works plant is the following: "The city now has its -own steam -plant and power. It is proiposed to practically dismantle that plant, sell the new .boilers, just purchased by the city for junk, or cast them
on the scrap heap and place our water works in the hands of the
Snoeberger etectric light plant. Council Has Been Open.
The city council has been open
in dealing with the waterworks.
proposition and plann'ed the im
provements of the water works plant, only after careful deliber
ation! and study. The council has already passed the ordinances providing for the improvement, and bids for the installation of a water tank, and electrical system
have been advertised for, and the i date set for the receiving of the same. It is the intention of the council, not to dispose of the new boilers purchased by the former council, but to install them as an emergency water" 'vorks system. , The electrical system has been figured to be a great economy over the present or steam plant, and tion its installation, will place the water works plant upon a good paying 'basis in such a manner that the plant will soon repay the cost of its installation Copy of Petition.The following is a copy of the petition which was "circulated
among the citizens of Plymouth, calling. for the mass meeting, with the signers of the same: To the Taxpayers, Con? timers . of City Water arid Citizens of ( v mouth. AVc, he undersigned taxpayers, consipiicis of city water and citizens of Plymouth, being opposed to the proposed action f the Common Coitmcil in regard to the city water works, believing that you who understand what is going on are also opposed to it, and that all of you who do. rvot understand the situation ought to be advised at once, respectfully request you to meet with us, in public meeting on the evening ol 1!10 at the hour of 7 :30
o'clock P. M. at the Humrichous. cir store roonn, Michigan street to kliscuss the matter and to make known our views on the subject. 1 The city now has a supply of as fine water for drinking, culinary ami other purposes as has any city in the land, built up by long continued efforts of former city councils, and at great expense to the consumers and taxpayers. Are you aware that it is now proposed to tear down that system and instead of giving us cool clear and fresh water, direct from the earth, to give us warm stale, and perhaps unwholesome water from an elevated tank' or stand pipe, arid at increased expense of .$10.000 or more? The city now has its own
steam plant and power. It is pro-

Washington, April 20. The
house committee on public buildings and grounds has established
rules of such rigidity in dealing
with building projects that the
indications are. that Indiana will
receive but small recognition in
the omnibus building bill.
For example, one of the rules
that will be adhered to without
entin" deviation provides that no con
gressman shall we -grantea more
than one appropriation for his

The house was neatly decorated; the words, "the cradle roll" was framed in large letters ar&l nestled in the C. H. colors and placed as a motto above the pulpit. Great credit is due to Miss Lillian Hahn, Miss F.rma Cummins and Miss Irene Inches for their untiring-efforts to make the room attractive. There was a good number in attendance considering the rainy afternoon. Mr. Arthur Grossman gave a recitation and Miss Edna Haines gave a (most excellent talk on -Child Training," which was spoken of very highly by all present.
