cow MISSEONERS.
Official Proceedings.l
Continued
present uncertainty as to what course
to suggest the wisdom of making such
temporarily provision as will at once give
the relief so greatly needed, especially in
view OF the fact that this can be done at
an expenditure far within the sum of mon
ey the city now has on hand applicable
to that purpose. We will contract to de-
liver. erect, connect and place in running
order on land belonging to the city at
or near the Belleville Pumping station a
battery of "Oliphant' water filters with
sufflcient guaranteed capacity for ~filtering
million gallons daily of Passaic water. We
will guarantee that the water will be
equal to that obtainable from a plant
advertised. ~viz:-Clear, tasteless, odor-
less and free from noxious bacteria, and
that we will do this without the use of
alum or other chemicals injurious to the
human system.
We Will also So construct the plant that
it can be readily enlarged to any desired
capacity. Under our system, which has
met with the approval of former city Off
Gals, the city can have within four months
OF signing the contract an adequate sup
ply of wholesome, potable water fit for
domestic use and can own and operate its
own fltering plant.
The first cost of the plant complete will
not be more than the city could pay for
one years supply Of 25 million gallons of
water daily if purchased from a private
corporation, and the annual cost for opera
ton ton and repairs for a plant. of that size
Will not exceed $50 thereafter.
Should these suggestions meet the ap-
prevail of your Honorable Board, we
would respectfully ask for a further hear
ing in relation thereto.
Very respectfully,
