City Engineer provinces will bring be-
fore the next meeting of the city council
the merits of the Hyatt water purifca-
ton system. Last session OF the legisla-
ture authorized the issue of by the city
Of $4,000 in bonds to secure a thorough
6~ltering Of city water supply. Filter beds
were recommended for adoption, but the
city engineer thinks the Hyatt system far
superior to this ordinary 6ltering process.
The system is automatic, daily purifying
the media through which the water passes.
1t is to be devoutly hoped that the city
fathers will stir themselves in this matter,
the more especially as the water is con-
tinually stirring itself.
