This building can be of similar construction as the one built at present on the old line, it must be damp proof and also pro vided with some means to heat it 'to prevent the apparatus from freezing in cold weather. The buil- ding should have larger floor space than the old building, about 81 x at, cannot tell definitely un- til I hear from Wallace & Tiernan in regard to this. There must also be some provision made in regard to a road forlmking in and out the tanks of Chlorine. There is at present a logging road used by Mir. Lindstrom that goes right to the pipe Lin right-of-way. The.use of.this road could probably be got from Mr. Lindstrom providing the City would help in its maintenance. Mr. Norman is also building a road from his place down to Camp Tat bot, but so far he has only got it slashed out; he would probably be willing to let the City use thi road providing they would help him to finish it. The plant will use a tank of Chlorine every few days according tb the amount that the City Heal Officer will require to treat the water; this moans tlsat.every few days the tanks will have to be changed. They run about 150# not. nytime the weer plant is installed, or it can be cut The new lino is ready to cut into the City a ough the present Chlorination plant until such time over into the present Snow Creek line and fed thr as the new. plant will be ready. The present Snow Creek line, however, is leaking badly and if you desire any repairs made the water will have to be shut off to do it. I would also like to know what your desires are in regard to the Snow Creek line when the new line goes into coimnission, whether it is your intention to cut it off at the Snow Croak. Dam or Blow off at Crocker Lake or at other points along the line, if you do this there would probably have to be come ditches opened up to drain the water off without damage to property. Also it is my opinion that when the water is shut off the pipe will collapse on account of being rotten; all that is hol- dingr.it now in many places is the water. The check valve requisitioned some time ago will not be here for about five weeks, but can be installed anytime the water is shut off. I have received letters from the Crane Co., also Wallace & Tiernan, stating they have received the orders and they will have their immediate attention. Yours truly, W. J. Sadler City Eng. and Water Supt. Location of Chlorinator. yx. Boar then stated that he believed the Chlorinator could be installed very near to the road I o the pipe line.

It was moved by Councilman Quenell and seconded by Councilman Lanmers that the erection of the building to house the chlorination plant be included in Contract No. 2.

Attention Mr. 0. C. Schoenwerk. Gentlemen: Mr. Coyne is now delivering through your connection some fourteen million gallons of water per day. For the time being, it has been arranged to have some one at the valve to your connection both day and night so that if is is required that the water supply to the mill be decreased or cut off, this attendant will do so when notified by your company. As you no doubt appreciate, the opening and closing of the entrance valve to your pipe lin must be handled with great care, especially at this time while the pipe line is being tested and is not as yet fully adjusted or back filled and this valve must never be throttled or closed without first opening the blow off nearby. In order that there may be no mis-understanding, please advise all parties concerned in your organization that at the present time, the water supply line is still in the hands of contrac- tor Coyne, and under the terms of his contract with the City of Port Townsend, no one has a right to operate any valves. I suggest, therefore, that if it becomes necessary to regulate the flow to your plant at the entrance valve, the instructions be communicated to the attendant there and confirmed at once or preferable before, to Mir. Coyne and myself. I am writing this letter for the protection of all parties concerned. Baer and Cunningham, By J. 0. Boar. cc A. Lowenstein, Port Townsend James H.
