   The Ithaca Water Works Company have purchased the Van Natta mill property which will be utilized to furnish East Hill with a much-needed supply of water. The preliminary surveys have been made and the company have practically decided to go to the Enfield creek for water. The company estimate that it will cost from $40,000 to $60,000 to continue their mains from Buttermilk creek to Enfield creek and to build the necessary reservoir there. The Van Natta mill property is to be used as a pumping station, water power being considered cheaper than steam. It will cost the company $50,000 to carry out its plans for East Hill in addition to the cost of the water power and pumping stations. In all, the improvements and extensions will cost from $125,000 to $140,000.
