SAVAGE OFFERS , F1 INSTALL ENGINES IN POWER STATION Engines are bing installed in the new university power plant, and the interior finishing is being rapidly pushed to completion. The work is behind time, but it is expected that the plant will be in operation by April 1. The total cost, including buildings, machinery, real estate, and labor, was estimated by Superintendent of Grounds, Marks, approximately at $500,000, although the present expendi- ture will be limited to about one-half that amount. An electric railroad will connect the Michigan Central tracks with the storehouse and shops, behind the homoeopathic hospital. All freight for the university will be switched onto these tracks, which are of standard gauge, and will be pulled up to the storehouse by an electric locomotive. The roadbed will be approximately 4,050 feet in length, and will extend over two viaducts. The contract has already been let, and work is under way. The electric current for the entire campus will be developed at the power house by a 500 kilowatt, direct con- nected, 2,300 volt, alternating current generator, which will be externally excited. The current will be conduct- ed through the underground tunnel to the sub-station, between the medic building and the gymnasium, and there will be reduced to a voltage of 220, and converted into a direct cur- rent. The electric railroad will be supplied with power through a trol- ley wire, from a rotary converter lo- cated in the new building and with a delivery of 550 volts direct current. A non-condensing, cross-compound type, Corliss steam engine will fur- nish the motive power for the electric generator. Steam will be supplied from eight boilers, which will be fed with hot water from two Cochran heaters. The boiler feed pumps, which force the water from the heaters into the boilers, will be electrically driven. Plot water for heating purposes will be forced through the mains by cir- culating pumps, which will be driven by a centrifugal steam turbine. Much of the construction work, such as the setting up of pumps, building of the railroad bridges, and all work on the sub-station, is being done by the university grounds department. Two bungalows near the new power house have been purchased by the university, on account of the decrease to the owners in valuation of the property, and are being used 'as homes for nurses. FORMER KANSAS PROFESSOR HAS CHARGE OF BIBLE WORXI Prof. Thomas M. Iden, who is con- ducting the work in connection with the Ann Arbor Bible chairs, comes here from the Kansas State Normal school. After teaching physics and chemistry, he became head of the de- partment of physical sciences in 1898, and dean of the institution in 1909. His most important service was done outside the class room in organ- izing "The Upper Room" ministry, an evangelistic campaign among the men. By his efforts an enrolment of 650 members was attained, for the pur- pose of Bible "study. Dr. Iden has been accustomed to send a Christmas letter to each of his students. The last one contained 25 pages and reached 4,000 persons. "How We Know God" is the general theme of the present series given at 444 So. State street, at 6:30, on Tues- days and Thursdays. Union to Feature "Matinee Dance." A "matinee dance" will be held at the Michigan Union, Thursday after- noon, from 2:30 to 5:30 o'clock. The function will be conducted on the same plan as the regular Saturday night dances. One hundred tickets will go on sale at the Union desk at 5:00 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. TESTS SHOW CITY WATERMOST PURE Dr. 1V C. Vaughan, dean of the med- ical department, said yesterday that the water in the city mains is more healthful than that in wells. He ex- pressed a wish that all people in the city would drink city water, since it would make it easier for the medical department to protect them from any germs which might find their way into the water. Some figures taken .from analyses made during the last few days shows that the city water con- taines fewer germs than the average well water. The highest number of germs found in a well is 8,040 and the lowest was 200. There were taps that did not show any germs at all and the average was three. He said, "As long as the citizens of Ann Arbor use the city water and watch the bulletins for any warnings of danger, Ann Arbor is reasonably sure of escaping any typhoid or any other epidemic which may trace its origin to the water supply. But just as long as the citizens of this town continue to use the water from the wells, which is clearly shown to be at all times unfit for use, they are in danger, and this danger is not only confined to them but to all of the com- munity in which they live." Meetings in Majestic More Popular. Attendance at the meetings held in the Majestic theater under the aus- pices of the Y. M. C. A. has averaged more than 400 each Sunday evening.
