—Under the supervision of
Bastrop's young but skilled
plumber, Arthur G. McLavy, the
water and sewerage pipes in the
jail have all been taken out and
relayed, it being necessary to go
through a concrete floor of about
20 inches, the wall also being a
thickness of 18 inches. The
pipes that have heretofore carried
the water from the upper lloor
to the lower floor were changed
so that the water will be carried
from the lower to the upper floor
as under the old arrangement the
water had to be carried about
fifteen feet higher than neces-
sary. We are glad to note that
our young friend has been quite
sucessful in the plumbing line,
and the piece of work recently
finished at the jail is indeed a
c redit to him.
