Waterw0rks


Pursuant to call published last week
in the JOURNAL large number of ouI
citizens met at Opera Hall on Friday
evening last to discuss the question
of water supply for the city. The
meeting was called to order by DR..
Ballard and on motion Allen p. Weld
was chosen secretary.
The chairman then briefly spoke of
the objects of the meeting, the neces.
sity from a sanitary point of view OF
good water for domestic use and the
advisability of water supply for fire
protection for the city.
DR.. Epley of New Richmond who
was present by invitation was called
upon and gave a very interesting
account of work done at New Rich
mond in obtaining water by means of
an artesian we'll and also the develop
ment of the system of mains and fire
apparatus. The doctor also gave a
resume of the evils resulting from the
use of impure water. The well at
New Richmond is only 100 feet in
depth and water rises to within II feet
of the surface. Its analysis shows a
very pure and comparatively soft
water.
President Emery of the Normal
School spoke in an interesting manner
upon the general features of the water
question and his remarks were listened
to with close attention.
Prof. Brier showed the advantages
of a good system of waterworks in a
few remarks, eliciting considerable
merriment by the illustration of
working at the pumps of the fire en-.
CINE until the breath was all gone and
then coming upon the street to find
the building burned to the ground.
Prof. Ewing as geologist said that
the question of possibility of obtaining
an artesian well was an open one and
could only be decided by experiment.
The following resolutions were then
read and on motion passed, the reSolu-
tion in regard to an arteslan well
being voted upon by ballot with the
result of l22 votes for and against.
Resolved, That the city is in need Of some
system of waterworks.
Resolved, That such system should include a
domestic supply to such extent as may be prac-
ucable and economical.
Resolved, That il is the sense of this meeting
that it is advisable TO sink an artesian well.
the well is completed if it shall prove to be sue
cessful for the purpose of taking action upon
the question of issuing bonds for the eonstruc-
ton of waterworks.
Pending the counting of the vote
upon the third resolution DIR. Ashley
was called upon and briefly stated the
objections to an artesian well arising
upon the uncertainty of obtaining a
flowing well and the possibility if one
should be obtained of the water being
impregnated with minerals to such an
extent as to be unit for domestic use.
The meeting was harmonious and
good natured throughout, it being
evident that all were practically in
favor of taking some steps looking to
protection against fire and that some
experiment had best he tried to
demonstrate the practicability of get
ting good water for the city.
