FALSE STATEMENTS CORRECTED.

MANKATO, Mimi, Feb. 1, 1896.
EDITOR FREE Press
For some weeks we have noticed in
your local columns, and in other city
papers, occasional references to the
wheat market in this city, generally
in the shape of interviews with bust
ness men.
The following statements among
others having been made:
1st. That Mankato formerly bought
one million five hundred thousand
bushels of wheat against less than one
hundred and fifty Thousand now.
End. That St. Peter is getting six
times as much wheat as Mankato.
3rd. That when six or seven grain
buyers bought wheat here, a great
deal more was brought in than now.
and that the city can now get the
prize by getting competition.
4th There is something wrong
with the local wheat market.
The first and second statements are
simply untrue, and the party making
them either willfully misrepresented
or knows nothing of the facts; pre-.
sumably the latter.

WATER WORKS.

The length of the mains laid was
7,0l6 feet, which is twice as much as
was put in the previous season.
Twelve additional hydrants have
been placed, making total of Ill;
and six additional main valves, MAX
ing total of 55. Of the West Man
kato extension. 1000 feet cost So per
foot, or more than twice the average
figure. The cost per foot of the
mains laid this season, including n.y.
drants, valves and special castings,
has been SLOT.
The revenue from the five per cent
frontage tax is So, 241.5S, an increase
for the year of S452.23. There are
6S5 consumers, an increase of 81.
There have been 1877 permits issued
during the year. The total revenue
for the year from water rents is S.
573.43. The total cost of our water
works plant is S97,670.
The present condition of our ar
teSian wells is such as to cause much
anxiety. We have made several at
tempts to check the leaks and have
only so far succeeded to utilize the
water which escapes out side of the
tubing and carry it to the pump. The
credit for devising plan by which
this is accomplished is due to Mr..
Koke, our efficient engineer at the
pumping station. The fact remains,
however, that the volume of water
rising to the surface outside of the
well tubing is slowly increasing, and
it is question of how long we will
be able to control it, or what The final
result will be if we do not succeed in
stopping it. There has been times
during the year when the supply of
water was barely sufficient to meet
the demands of our people. With the
changes noted above and the proba-
bility that the elevators in the city
will soon be operated by electric
power in lieu of water motors, we may
be able to supply our city the next
year, but we shall have but little
water to spare. Our water system,
except as above noted, is in excellent
condition and is of incalculable value
to our city. There is yet some mex
cusable waste of water but less than
a year ago. l am confident that
more general use of meters would re-
suit in benefit to the city in check
ing waste and in many cases the con-
sumner would pay less for water.
The following mains have been laid
this year:

SEWERS.
Only 215 feet of sewer were put in
on Cherry street from Front eastward
to the alley. The total sewerage pre-
vious to 1891 cost $24, S49.49, during
1891, S6,538.36 was spent on sewers,
S10,654.35 in 1892, $13,9S662 in 1894,
and only 1851 in 1895, making the to-
tai cost of the Sewerage system $780,
1882. The total length of main
sewer is 26,92O feet.
Brick, as a paving material, is
still growing in favor-improving in
quality, as the manufacturers gain in
experience, and at the same time be-
ing sold at lower figure than former
ly. Reports from cities in Iowa and
Illinois where this material is largely
used are very favorable, and new and
extensive contracts for laying brick
pavement are mentioned. While we
cOncede the propriety of property
owners being consulted, and their
wishes respected in the selection of
paving material, we are convinced
that a mistake will be made if any
thing less than tiTst-class pavement
is put down on our main business
thoroughfare. Hickory street from
Front to Second has been covered
with macadam and good curb
and gutter put in. The wearing
surface is red gravel and it is
too early yet, to say whether this
material will give satisfaction or not.
Second and Broad streets may be i'm
proved in this way, using screened
red gravel, and perhaps larger stone at
the base with about four inches of
crushed stone, and the expense would
be light and the streets excellent for
light travel. The purchase of
steam road roller this season enables
us to do good work either in maccad-
amizing or paving, and will prove an
excellent investment. With the
present indications that Mankato is
Just enteIing upon larger prosperity
than it has yet known, it is hoped
that something will be done the COM
ing season in the way of street i'm
provement, and that Front street at
least, will be paved to correspond
with the elegant business blocks
lately erected.

There is IL 2-5 miles of mains in the
city, over half being of six inch pipe.
The capacity of the two pumps at the
pumping station is 100000 gallons in
