Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1899 — The New Drinking Fountains. [ARTICLE]

The New Drinking Fountains.

The two iron drinking fountains, for people and horses, arrived Wednesday afternoon. They were purchased by the county commissioners at a cost, for both, of $l3O. They will be installed at the expense of the city, which also furnishes free water to supply them with. They will be a great convenience to the people, especially on great public occasions. Both will be located on the streets fronting the public square, as desired by the commissioners. One will be on Van Rensselaer street, about opposite Wade & Wood’s barber shop. The other on Washington street not far from the center of the block. The one on Washington street will be connected with the water supply very soon. The other probably not until the proposed improvement of Van Rensselaer street is completed. Buy your binder twine of L. 8 Renicker.
