(Special.) ST. JOHNS J0HAVE MAIN Assistant City Engineer to Lay Mile of 12-Inch Pipe. The only large piece of construction which will be included in the spring plans being made by Carl Ross, as sistant engineer in the city water de partment, will be the laying of a mile of 12-inch pipe to reinforce the water system of St. Johns. It is estimated the cost will be between J15,000 and $20,000. Dismantling of the two large water tanks at St. Johns has made this work necessary. In the summer during the sprinkling season, the tanks have given an inadequate water supply. As they are practically dismantled at the pres ent time and would have to be repaired or rebuilt, it has been decided to lay the pipe, which will be permanent.
