PAGE EIGHT START POURING CONCRETE FOR WATER WORKS Excavation for Filtration Plant Being Put in by City Virtually Finished iia | PIPE LAYING HELD UP Lack ef Pipe-Causes Tempor- uspension of Laying 16-Inch Main Pouring of concrete on the walls of the sedimentation basin of the city water works filtration plant began today, bat work of laying the new big 16-inch main to the city is sus- pended because of lack of material. cavation for the filtration plant is all virtually complete and work on the building will go ahead rapidly, | with the pouring of concrete. It is hoped to have the building enclosed by cold weather so that installation of machinery can go right ahead. Failure of the American Cast Iron Pipe company to ship services to go on the 16-inch pipe has caused sus- pension of that work, The deep trench in which this main is laid is now complete from near the river to part w ross the Country Club grounds, and a machint is setting on Avenue © to carry it on'down to the heart of the city. The pipe now in the ground will not be covered until a test is made of it, T. R. Atkinson, city | engineer, informed the city commis- sion! last’ night. The city engineer also reported that as compensation for right-of- way across his land J. J. Jackman had suggested that the city lay a new three-fourths inch pipe to his house. The cost was estimated at probably $300, The city engineer thought ‘this Propesition was reasonable. Action probably will be taken Thursday night. Whether the reservoirs of the Bis- marck WatergSupply Company will be cleaned before the city takes over the plant is in question. A represen- tative of the company appeared be- fore the commission last night and said that inasmuch as the city will take over the plant soon it had been suggested by the company attorney that the company and city divide the expense of cleaning the reservoirs. He said that while it was customary to clean them after the June rise the water had remained so high and tur- bid that it would have been useless to do so, and only within the last few days has the water gone down enough to make it feasiblé to clean them. He reported word was awaited from Judge Flannery, president of the com- pany, The matter was held in abey- ance until Thursday night, it being expected that word will have been re- ceived from Judge Flannery by that time. Adjourn Meeting The commission adjourned its meet- ing until Thursday so that it could take action in the event of an unfav- orable decision of the supreme court in the city water works bond issue case. Should the decision be unfavor- able a special election would be call- ed so that the city could still carry out its contract to take over the wa- ter works, it having agreed to do this by September 9. Question of allowance of estimates of contractors for work already done was discussed briefly but no action taken. The city has not as yet re- ceived funds from warrants or bonds to be used in paying ‘contractors. PAVING BIDS ARE RECEIVED Morton County Board of Com-: missioners to Let Contract Bids were received yesterday af- ternoon ‘by the county commissioners of Morton'‘seanty and by the ci:y commission ‘of Mandan last nigh’ for paving of Main street in Mandan to the city limits and on through the pew underpass at the Northern Paci- fic main line and north line junction east of ‘Mandi, ° °o\! The county’ board *’was again this afternoon and ed te act upon the bids, contract. \ C. F. Kelsch, city attorney, and E. R. Griffin, city engineer, of Mandan, had ruled that protests against the city’s proposed paving, which includ- ed Main street east and some cross streets, lacked sufficent signatures to be effective. There were seven bidders on con- crete, and asphaltic concrete 18-foot * rondways. ; The bids, secondly, to State En- gineer Black, were fairly low.

When it comes to elephants, Schoenfeld is a “fiend.” He cheer- fully admits it. He has an over- powering penchant for hand-carved pachyderms of any breed. Schoenfeld’s collection now num- bers some 600 specimens and is growing. He has been gathering them in from the far corners of the world for 15 years and his business office, where he houses his pets, looks like an elephantine menagerie. “I have always liked elephants,” explains Schoenfeld., “I have _al- ways been interested in reading about their symbolism—their con- HE’S GOT 600 ELEPHANTS BUT WANTS MORE HERB SCHOENFELD AND HIS ELEPHANTS, nection, in the eyes of orientals, with good luck, friendship and strength. Fifteen years ago I was in Japan where elephant bronzes were numer- ous. The opportunity was there and I started my collection.” The Schoenfeld “herd” now in- cludes artistic creations in bronze, marble, porcelain, mahogany, native woods of European and tropical for- ests, coral and sponge. The largest of the group measures four feet from tail to trunk and is 28 inches high. It is of bronze, and came: originally from Honolulu. An elephant carved from pink coral is the smallest one, @ miniature of about one-half by one- fourth inch. When Schoenfeld’s freinds go atouring in distant places, they send him more elephants. “And some days,” he says, “I hope to get a live one.” CONSIDER FAIR GROP RETURN Halvorson of Minot Calls Mass Meeting of Northwest People Minot, N.
