The tank» d enclosure, which are ' :part of. the present water works improvement. are being constructed under "he supervision. of the city’s engineers, Pearse, Greeley a Hansen, of Chicago. Mr. Arthur S. Comer is the-arehiteet of the enclosure. ' w" Some conception of the massive- nes, of, the new" tank' will be gained when it is realized that the steel of which it is constructed weighs, 425,- _000 pounds. The water which it holds' .weighs over four, million pounds. J Ttieuhwiteetural. brick and stone housitfit which will enclose the tark will *add another' four million. To suppdrt this total of approxi- "tyrtely .nine-and-o‘ne-half million pounds there was provided a founda- tionirequirintr 600 cubic'yards of fonerete to build. _ “Handsome Enclosure . While elevated steel tanks offer the best solution "tthe problem of. storing water in relatively ftieom'- ‘munities, such " Highlsnd Park, they are not things of beauty; end .do not blend with the xenon} scheme of j suburban architecture. For this resson the new tank will be enclosed in a very hsndsome structure . of brick end gtone." ‘Work on this en- closure-ls no; under way; . is' stored high Abave theOrrou.fid. Thiis means that should the pumping station have to shut down, the. en- tire 5095199" gallong rgserve would be avaittsth, and fiot until.it were en- I',",',,); exhausted would there be. a co erahle lowering of pteamrrts in the water mains. :As a safeguard against fire this feature is of great importance. 7 . . In comtiarison, the new tank, which holds 500,000 traWofis, 'or over three 'times as mieli as thé Old stand pipe, is so .designqd that all of' this water Tht new tank is a part of the ex! tensive' water works . improvement “now being proseduted by. the city. For some time it has been realized that the old stand pipe adjoining the mty hall had 'outlived -, its usefulness, Therefdre, when the- eitrhr-entrineers made comprehensive recommenda- tions for modernizing Highland Park's water system, there was in- eluded/the item of the replac ment of the old tank. . _ _ t . T Old Stdndpipe _ The old stahdpipe,huilt in 1893, is sixteen feet in. diarpeterand one-hun- dred" feet' high. It held 150,000 gal- lons of water. Only a small portion of this was really available, however, as drawing the water trom' the tank would rapidly lower the waterUevvl, and therefore reduce the pressure in the mains. In times of serious five or other e'me‘rgencz, the town in the past had to place its dependence -isl- most wholly on the pumping. station.’ Had. this failed, the smell reserve in the standpipe would have beenof lit- tle serviee, A---tr,-r----- f.

Much to the credit of the builders of the tank, the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works. and' to the crew' who erected it, it proved to be. a "water tight" job.. The city oMeiais and their engineers w‘ere very ttrich pleased with.the result. . . NEW WATER TOWER _ N HERE NOW IN USE (Continued from' page '1) 'himsdnr, August a, wad "
