WORKING TO Thu LIMIT
That Is What tho City water Works
Are Npw Doing
Al URGENT yECESSIIY YUSI Be NET
More PampiaK Machinery Mast Re Pro-
vidsd aud fareF Water Nast ne
foaBd-A sspply Needed for
3s Miles OF New Mains

Very few of the citizens OF Grand
Rapids are aware of the volume of
water that Is being daily consEned.
The reports OF the chief engineer OF the
city pump house show that during the
months Of uiy; August and September
65l ,0Oo, ,0o0 gallons OF water were forced
into the city reservoir, or an increase of
az per cent over the amount pumped
during the corresponding months of
1890. The greatest amount pumped in
one day was 100000 and the lowest
was about 5000, 900 gallons. The cspac-
ity of the city reservoir is 5000, 90
gallons and it can be seen t..st the en-
tire contents are changed every day.
The engines at the pump house have
virtually been IN constant operation
since May /. The utmost limit of the
capacity OF the pumps Is 10000, 200 gal
Ions a day and this could not
be steadily maintained. The summer
has passed without an accident or a
break down of any description and the
pumps by careful management have
been kept IN constant readiness 10 work
10 their fullest capacity. Had one of
them broken down or become disabled
in any way . water famine must have
occurred. Sprinkling of lawns and
streets would have been prohibited and
the people know too we'll from past ex-
perience what all that means.
President Davis Of the board of pub
lie works says at was simply by good
luck that We have escaped q water
famine this summer. Machinery un-
der the best of care gives out at
times and If one of our pumps had
failed US we should have had
TO restrict the consumers of water and
put them on short service. If we had
to stop street and lawn sprinkling and
shut of the hundred or more elevators
from water supply 1t would calse no
end of annoyance. We are putting in
thirty-three miles of new water mains
this year and our old lines are being
constantly tapped for new consumers.
Grand Rapids is growing rapidly anu
the system must be constantly enlarged.
Our pumping capacity is already over
taxed and yet we are supplying only q
part OF our citizens with water. The
question Is, where VIII we be nextyear?
We have purchased our mains and
they are being rapidly laid under
ground, but we need supply OF pure
water and we need additional pumping
facilities. If We pump from wells IN
stead of from the river the water will
have to be lifted for some distance by
suction and this will require consldera.
bic more power to pump even the
amount we are furnishing now, and
the increased consumption that is sure
to follow the extension of the mains ii
going to swamp us unless provision /:
made for it in tlme.''

Gen L. Wehh

This gentleman, known to some of our
people, died at his home in Cuyahoga
Falls, Ohio, on Sunday, Sept. goth, from
the effects of being bitten by dog. The
local paper of that place says of this
venerable and esteemed citizen:
"Geo. f. Webb was born at Norwich,
Conn, July 9th, 1908. He was the last
of a family of five children all of whom
lived past the allotted age of man, the
youngest dying at the age of 10 years.
"He was twice married; his second
wife. who survives him was Orpha w.
Bryant of Bennington, VT, where they
were married June 22d, 1851. They re-
moved to Cuyahoga Falls in October,
1867, and have been residents of this vii
lage ever since that time. Mr., Webb
was potter and worked for Thomas
Bros. here; he had worked at the same
trade at Erie. Pa, before coming here.
"Mr. Webb was a member of the Epis-
copal church before removing from Ben
nington; in the past he has been ac-
lively connected with ST. Johns church
here and was for many years a member
of its vestrY.
-Four children were born to him, a
son and a daughter by each wife. His
sons survive him: John c. Webb of
Erie is the older, and Edward d. Webb
of Chicago, the son of the present Mrs.
Webb. Two grandchildren and two
great grandchildren complete the num-
Der of his descendants
Mr.. John Webb, we are told, married
a niece of Daniel McEowen Mary, of
this village. The remains were taken to
Erie for burial.

number of years, and though he speaks
well of the west, he says there is no bet

Jones of Troy, n. Y, brought the re-
mains of their little Edna Lizzie, here
last Saturday, for interment. A short
service was held before starting. con-
Quoted by their pastor, Rev. Hector
Hall, and the funeral was held on Sun
day afternoon at 8 o'clock, at the home
of the grandmother, Mrs. Ripley, at
which Rev. Chas. H. Peck Officiated.
The little one, but four months old, had
always been healthy, and was sick but
few hours, after congestion set in, in
duced by change of temperature. The
afflicted parents have the sympathy of
their friends as was shown by the large
numbers at the services, and the words
spoken by the minister in charge, were
comforting and such as would give con-
ISOLATION and hope. Many flowers were
sent in by kind friends. The parents
desire to acknowledge with gratitude,
the many marks of kindness and sympa-
thy expressed in various ways by friends
here and in Troy, during the care and
burial of their little one: Mr. and Mrs
Morris E. JOnes.-Misses ARA and
Ella Mckay have returned to New York
to enter upon the fall and winter term of
their schoOl.-The family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert S. Durham was invaded
few days since and the noses of their
two fine boys broken, by the entrance of
a third. On being summoned to give
the cOuntersign, showing his right and
little to recognition as a claimant, he
tipped the scale at twelve pounds, thus
settling all roversy.-Arthur Card
ner of Bennington and Miss Jennings of
New York, have been spending few
days at the Fairview residence. Mrs.
Anna Whsle of Rutland, has been call
ing upon her old friends here, this week.
W. S. Reene is moving into the Sur
dam house, opposite F. Bottum's store.
Willie, son of Mrs. Michael Howe,
aged six years, died Wednesday and was
buried Thursday morning. His is the
only case known in this vicinity, and as
precautions have been taken, it is hoped
there will be no mOre.-The digging
about the bank walls, which had sus-
picious appearance, proved to be moth
ing more than for repairing the water
pipe carrying away water from the roof.
A new floor OF hard pine, has been
laid in the postoflice, to take the place
of the old one, nearly worn through in
some places.--The annual fair of St.
John Baptist church, will commence on
the 18th, and continue through the 10Th
and Goth. On the two las, days a special
train will run from Bennington, leaving
that station at O'Clock and returning
on the sleeping train, for fare one way.
The entertainments will he interspersed
with vocal and instrumental music and
the young ladies will serve ice cream
and cake. The citizens of this vicinity
have donated several fine articles that
will be disposed of during the fair.
