City Gets Formal Possession
of Tract of Five Acres for
Reservoir and Park Site on
Highlands. '
IMPROVEMENT WILL-BE
MADE'WHEN REQUIRED
Consideration Is Given to
Plans for Traffic on Seventeenth Street Bridge, When
It Is Completed.
City council held a meeting yesterday afternoon and passed iinally an
on'linanec, under "the provisions of
wliieh Georgo L. Potter will deed to
the city a tract of five acres of "round
on the highlands west of the city, to
be utilized as a site for a super-high
service reservoir and also fur park
purposes.
.
As lias been outlined heretofore,
residents of that section will be given
city 'Water at the regular, rates for a
period of 'five years, by which time
it is presumed that the "plot will have
been annexed to the city, in consideration of tho gift mado by Mr. Potter.
Commissioner Samuel B. Taylor
stated today that a corps of engineers
will shortly be sent to the site and
make, a survey of the ground that
will be turned" over to tho city so
t-hat a deed can be made out. Ifc is.
located . at the highest point on the
foothills of the Allegheny mountain.
The roadways have not been developed,
but it is along the line of .Thirteenth
street at about Thirty-eighth or For->
tieth avenue.
The ground is admirably adapted to
the (purpose for which it has been ac:
quired by the city. The elevation is
•onsidcrably above that'.i)f the present
super-high service reservoir. '}t"-'may

A conference was held tnis ' morning in the. office of Commissi^-».r. W.
M. C. Craine relative to the ncw;_jcven-'.
tecnth street bridge and assurance was
given by the railroad engineers tliat
the structure will "be completed and
ready for traffic by Oct.' .1.
This will include street car. traffic.
The railroad engineers informed the
city officials that it is their intention to complete the approach on the
eastern side this fall. When tlie matter was. under discussion several weeks
ago the belief was expressed that becauso of the filling that -is necessary
it would not bo possible to lay the
peermanent surface this full, but it
ha s now been determined to do this.
Tho street car .company can then
lay its tracks and all pf this can be
accomplished during the next month.
The old Altoona house will not be
removed in time to permit the building of the track around Tenth avcniio from Bridge to Seventeenth street
this fall, but the track can be laid
over Bridge. street and the bridge-nnd
this will serve until next spring when
tho permanent plans can be carried
