\ \ VOLUME 5. NUMBER 62 COUNGIL WORKING FOR IMPROVED WATER SERVIGE Brainerd Ball Team on 4th. As one of the principal attractions for the Fourth of July celebration, the “North Star” team of Brainerd will arrive in the city this evening for a game with the local team,which will be played in the down-town park at 4 in the afternoon. The visiting team is said to be a strong one, and includes as a bat- tery Charles Bush, pitcher, and William Wilson as catcher. The Bemidji team will be the strongest of the year, and every effort will be made to hand a de- feat to the bunch from Brainerd. Bemidji will line up as follows, as given to the Pioneer: Eakel ¢, Ripley and D. Spooner p, Riddell 1b, Govro 2b, Hazen 3b, Graham ss, Collins If, F. Carlton cf, John Spooner, rf. The game will be called promptly at 4 p. m. There will be a practice game at the park this evening at 7. Voting of Bonds Would Provide Funds to Further Project of Ample Service. The action of the city council, at its regular meeting Monday even- ing, in accepting.the report of the committee appointed to look over proposed erection of a new steel tower and water tank, and also order a special elec- tion to be held on August 2nd, to vote on the proposition of bonding the city in the sum of $30,000 for waterworks extention, is commend- able, inasmuch as it the proposi- tion of issuing bonds is ca'ried, a system of waterworks is assured the city that will be ample in every respect for fire protection and other purposes. s The object of the extension to the waterworks system and additions to present mains in certain quarters, will be gained by a revision of the pumping plant and laying of larger mains. If the new location for the pro- posed tower and tank is purchased, the pumping plant will be revised by the purchase of improved new pumps and placing them at a lower elevation and in closer proximity to the well. The improvements to the water- works system will entail the laying of some 3,000 feet of 10-inch mains and two miles of smaller mains. The erection of the new tower and tank will consist of a steel tower, 100 feet high, and a 100,000- gallon tank, after the site at the corner of the old ball park is pur- chased.
