THE CIIY's WATER SUPPLY.

A Few Things for the Water Works
Committee to Look Into.
we'll informed gentleman was discuss
ing arteSian water and artesian wells the
other day in the presence of a MORNING
NEWS reporter, and advanced some ideas
which, if not generally considered practical,
we're at least so interesting and plausible
that ms auditors agreed that they are at
least worthy Of investigation.
The gentleman said, among other things,
that Savannah is in danger at any time of
finding itself confronting water famine,
or, what is nearly rs bad, the return to the
unSanitarN river water, for a time at least,
and at great Inconvenience and individual
expense. He went Oh to say that there be-
ing but one main Leading from the water
works TO the city, auy arrangement to the
main would cut Off the entire water supply
of city Of over 5000 inhabitants rs long
as the arrangement lasted, whether for a
short or long period. So much of the main
lying above the surface added to the posi-
bilitv OF accidents, and it affords the incen-
diary favorable opportunity for tamperng
with the main, and AS a result the city
might at any moment be at the mercy OF II
conhagration klndled by the torch of the
fire bug.
Now such a condition of affairs should
not be permitted to continue long, he
added. There ought TO b, duplicate
mains, so that if ole gets out of order the
other can DC utilized untll repairs are
made. The mans ought not to be aces
Sible, as they now are, along the sparsely
settled territory lying west OF the city and
, between the city and the water WORKS.
1T would have been better" the gentle
man went ON to say, "if the water works
had been nearer the city. IL would have
been saving in the water service, u tue
city was not willing to spend any money
for experiments, and, as result, the wells,
most OF them sunk by private enterprise,
are far removed from the city. But" the
gen, leman added ut is not TOO late for a
littlo practical experimenting which will
not cost over 81, 0O6.at the outside, and may
revolutionize tha entire water system of
the city, enabling 1t to dispense with It's
