removing the water works above the city.
1t has long been recognized as necessity
that our water supply should be obtained
from some point above where the drainage
Of the city is emptied into the river, and
the Water Works Trustees have mt upon
the right place TO locate the works. Inc
reservoir can be put OF Bustard'S hill and
the pumping station down IN the vailey
near where the iron works stood. Anotn-
er feature about the purchase IS the iact
that the property is worth much more tnan
81, 500, the price paid Tor II. Inere
are thirty-eight acres OF GROUND, al
uuderlaid with an excellent vein OF coal,
with good shaft and several houtes on
the ground all in fair condition. There are
several reasons why the purchase is goop
one outside OF the fact that the WORKS
should be removed to some point above the
city. II will result IN more sewerage Oelng
