| surface of the ground and forced
through $500 feet of 1S-inch pipe to the
| highest point on Mr.. Offers land, where
| a reservoir will be constructed and the
water distributed by means of open
bitches. What makes the venture seem
out of the ordinary is the fact that cleo
trio energy will be the power that will
lift the water as required. A 125 horse
power motor has been contracted for.
and by the middle of February the work
will be completed. The capacity of the
plant will be about 1000 acres.
