the twclVe-iuch pine from the lake will be
connected with a slx-inch pipe to the city
park and cemeteries. When this work is
completed there is no necessity tor re-
strictions in the use of water, as the park
and cemeteries will be connected with the
lakes. According to the engineers meas
urement these lakes bold 2l5. 900, 600 gal
Ions of water. There is no danger of the
demand made on them by the city park
and cemeteries ~exhausting the supply.
Flowers and shrubs should not be watered
during the heat OF the day, as provided
in this ordinance.
l find in the city engineers report that
the overflow in the city reservoir was
made intentionally large, as at the time 1t
was not known how great an amount of
water was coming down the pipe line. 1t
is now shown that this overflow may be
built up with stone and cement at an OK
Dense of SIS or $50. to a height of eight
inches, thereby raising the water level in
the reservoir and increasing the amount
OF water by $4,000 gallons. | recommend
that this wall be built up as sOOn as
possible.
On examining the filter beds at the
head OF the system. | find that during the
fall and winter clay and quIcksand is
washed down the creek to a depth of
about two feet over the fltering beds,
thereby preventing the water from going
TITO the galleries, and reducing the water
in the main pipe. | recommend that
this clay and auckland be removed and
replaced with coarse gravel. This will in
crease the water supply.
If the city pump is working at its full
capacity during the six hours that water
is used for irrigation, the city will use
$4,000 gallons OF water more than the
supply.
The city engineers report shows that
the average amount Of water received in
the reservoir is 81, T72 gallons per hour.
From S O'Clock at night until 6 O'Clock in
the morning the city will receive In the
reservoir Gil, 62O gallons. The demand
on the system during the night is not
much. | think that sufficient water can
be saved to make up for the deficiency dur
Ing the day.
The mayor and city council are the
servants of the people; while they have
power to make laws TO govern the city
they should be careful that such laws are
for the best interests of the community.
In conclusion | respectfully submit my
objections TO the ordinance, and my
recommendations as regards the same to
your honorable body for consideration.
NEW ORDINANCE.
The matter was settled, however, by the
introduction by Mr.. jerks, and the
passing by the council, of an ordinance
amending the old ordinance SO that the
points the mayor objected to were changed.

A telegram was received Yesterday
afternoon by Mayor Bresnahen from Sen
alto Carey, stating that L. IL. Taylor &
Co., of Philadelphia, had bid for the city
bonds, the issue of which was recently
authorized. The bid is for one-half per
cent above par, but is conditional upon an
examination as to their legality.
One or two other bids have also been
received, so that it is probable the bonds
will now be closed out to much better ad-
vantage than was apparent from the bids
received in answer to the advertisement.
