Reservoir site chosen amid council action and street plans
The Lewiston city council selected a reservoir site on Gifford Place two thousand feet south of the current reservoir, higher on the divide for easier drainage and lower excavation costs. The meeting also dismissed Building Inspector Chase amid disputes over a faulty ordinance, voted to issue sixty thousand dollars in water bonds, and set uniform allowances for police. The council discussed a new street from Sixth Street to Main Street, approved moving ahead on that project, and noted church figure Bishop Samuel Wells visiting for services.
