FOUNTAIN MAY BE USED.
Costly Blunder May Yet Be Turned
to Some Account.
It is the intention of the board of parks commissioners to install a pumping engine in the Paseo bath house, and pump the water into the fountain at Paseo and Fifteenth streets. The excess water will be returned to the bath house, purified and aerated. At yesterday's meeing of the park board an extensively signed communication was received from the women residents of the vicinity of the fountain demanding that the water be turned into it. They said that in the present idle shape the "fountain, instead of being an ornament, is an eyesore."
The estimated cost of the pump is $1,500, and the board will decide at its next meeting if the scheme is practical.
