-;of Dubuque, Iowa:
Gentlemen: -We are in receipt of
your request to extend the water mains
in Garfield avenue to Reed avenue.
In response we most respectfully sub•
mit that our chief endeavor so far has
been to provide a supply of un- polluted
water in excess of the present con-
sumption. . Having once attained this
point we then propose to increase the
number of our consumers by making
such extensions as are certain to yield
a fair revenue as fast as funds are
available A few petitions for exten-
sions have already been examined into
and pronounced good. To this list we
will now add the Garfield avenue ex-
tension which you desire, in the assur-
ance that your honorable body would
not request an extension that you had
not closely looked into with a full con-
sideration of the best interests of our
city's water works.

expressed will merit your approbation,
we beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
