The action was taken to make the water plant all-city-owned, to avoid any conflict with the railroad com- mission with regard to power rates, and to give the city absolute con- trol over the production and dis- tribution of water. y Many responsible citizens had voiced their sentiment in favor of such an action. While they urged the action as a method of saving pysney in the operation of the plant, they urged as a stronger rea- son that the plant ought to be the city’s own in every way, and any possibility of fights before the rail- road commission such as have been| had in the past, or in the avoided. The members were un- imous on the proposition. The commission will meet tonight and probably determine the type of engines to be bought. Main Question Up The commission also may settle the question of bringing the big 16- inch main to be installed, in Broadway or on Avenue C. City Engincer Atkinson provided an en- trance on Broadway; some others want it on Avenue C to avoid tear- ing up pavement on Broadway. L. P. Wolff of St. Paul, consulting en- rinecr, is here to discuss various matters with the commission. There also was’ considered Satur- ‘day night the question of whether to depend upon direct pressure sys+ tem for fire protection or whether ~ to use a booster pump or a pumper on a fire-fighting truck to furnish extra pressure in case of fire. The first proposition was bringing the main in on Avenue C. A letter from the General In spection .Bureau doubting \if — thi would be satisfactory was read by! the city engineer. Mr. Wolff said that he had tried to find some plan of avoiding a 16-inch main, on Broadway but had always come back to Mr. Atkinson's specifications, He said the main was needed there to provide fire protection in the busi- district. ad Best Favors Avenue C R. L. Best, called by Commi on- er Thompson, said that in 1915 he took up the matter of fire protec- tion with W. I. Fisher o) Minnca- polis who, he said, makes the rates for old line fire insurance compan- re A raise in rates was threaten- c¥ because there was only a 12-inch n from the water plant. He said that Mr, Fisher agreed that if a 16) or 19 inch main were brought in on Avenue C and down to Rosser, com- pleting a circuit and eliminating dead ends in mains, this would be satisfactory. Mr, Best urged this. Henry Reade, state fire marshal, also favored bringing the’ main in on’ Avenue C to connect dead ends Rosser street: He said that the ity ought to havea, pumping en- gine on its fire truck to provide pressure in gase of fire. Fire Commissioner Henzler } also favored usa of a pumper and Com-| missioner Thompson declared that Bismarck ought to have a pumper-- that it ought not start fighti fires with direct pressure when oth er cities were discontinuing it. Mr. Atkinson said he would be only $13,000 cheaper to bring a main in on pms C than on Broadway. Pump Problem The question of giving up-a 2,000 on pump at the new water plant designed to furnish extra pressure in case of fire came up. Mr. Wolff said that if the 2,000 gallon -pump were given up it meant the direct pressure idea would be given up. ‘ He said that more streams to fight fire would be obtained by this method than with a pumper. Mr. Wolff in answer to a question said “that the pump ought to be started instantaneously. Mr. Thompson said that now in case of fire the local electric company has to be notified before¢power can be increased suf- ficient to run it. Mr. Henzler reiterated he was in avor of a pumper. 750-gallon ver minute pumper would give three streams of water in fighting fire, he said.” Mr. Henzler brought out that if the direct pressure system were used there would have to be a man at the water plant 24 hours a day to watch for this. Mr. Lugas said there would have to be a watch- man anyway. Fire Marshal Reade said sooner or later the city would come to the pumper. He said Minot had one pumpek, Fargo two and Grand Forks ‘Y¥ (Continued on Page 2) the! courts, | ‘MANY NEW REGULATORY LAWS EFFECTIVE IN STATE JULY 1; __ DANCES, LIQUOR ARE INCLUDED on} taken up! figured it} ‘ | When the S. ‘New York it The roo Berengaria ed under se an’ | Child Welfare ‘Code Also’ Marks Change in the Ad- State— Many New Duties Given Board of Adminis- tration.
