MORE ABOUT WATERw0RKS.

Editor ST. LANDRY CLARION.-I see IN the
Courier an article on the subject of water
works, proposing among other things to lay
pipes for distance of of IL 900 feet on Main
street, with laterals on all east and west
streets. AS the writer was evidently labor
ing under misapprehension of the dis
tance, will say that IL, 900 feet would reach
from the Catholic Church to below Mr.. Du-
sons residence. Certainly the town has
no present need of mere than about 600
feet of main pipe-say from the Catholic
Church to Jules Chachere's. Another error
of the writer is the assertion by him that
1.-the town has good fire engine with which
to pump the water into the reservoir,
etc. Now, 1. of course, do not know to
what engine he refers; but if it is to the fire
engine now here, can say that to raise the
water from the Bayou lesson to stand pipe
fifty feet in height, 1t will be found to be en-
tirely insuff1cient-it could hardly be relied
on to force any considerable quantity of
water to greater height than about thirty
Or forty feet. The stand pipe should be no
less than seventy-five feet in height to give
a pressure suitable for the extinguishment
of fires, and as the pipes will necessarily
have to be smaller than those in other towns
should be no less than eighty feet in height.
Another great error would be the putting
up of the stand pipe on the court house
square; first, the parish Ito whom it be-
longs might reasonably object; secondly,
it would be no place for the pumping en-
gine, engine house. ETC., and thirdly, the
additional cost of making the connections
with the mains would more than pay for
location on either Main, Court or Market
streets, where connections could be made
direct.
am more than ever convinced of the pro-
priety of depending on Bayou lesson for a
supply of water at least for the present, or
until it can be demonstrated that wells will
furnish water which do not at all believe.
A system of waterworks is one of the alb
solute necessities Of this town. 1t must of
course be a system which can be depended
| upon to do the work, else 1t will be useless.
Let the town go slow in this matter, and
make no mistakes.
Yours Respectfully,
GEORGE o. ELMS.
