NYSSA, OREGON Gateway to the Owyhee and Black Canyon IRRIGATION PRO JECTS THE GATE CITY JOURNAL M ALHEUR COUNTY’S OLDEST 900-F00T EXTENSION WILL BE MADE TO WATER MAIN ON THIRD STREET! From the Dean Smith Home on East Side of Third Street to the Sub-Station. CONTRACT LET TUESDAY EVE W. A. Austin Successful Bidder Pipe ordered and Work Will Be Pushed as Fast as Weather Conditions Will Permit. The contract was let at a spec ial meeting of the city council Tuesday evening for the exten sion of the water main on Third street north to the sub-station. W. A. Austin was the successful bidder at 7 cents per foot, run ning measure, for a 3-foot ditch A fire hydrant will be installed at the substation, to which a 4- inch pipe will be run. From there smaller pipes will be run to the various water users. It is expected that about ten patrons will be served from this exten sion. The pipe ha3 been ordered and the work will be pushed as fast as weather conditions will permit. The contract calls tor 900 feet of ditch. The matter of this extension came up at the regular council meeting the first of the mo"*v' but at that time there were no funds available for that purpose and the city fathers left it up to those interested to figure out some way o f raising the required cash. This proved to be easy, E. J. Burrough putting up $1000 cash and taking <Jr «¿ty.. war rant for that amount in payment. This extension has been badly needed for some time and will be a great benefit to the section served. The only water supply available at present for a radius o f two or three blocks is at the Fred Marshall home, where a deep well is liberally patronized. A supply o f city water with fire protection should advance the values of real estate and cause a rapid development of that end of town. M. E. CHURCH Sunday, Dec. 23 Church school 10 a. m., R. J.
