REPORT
Of Water Works Trustees for Year
Ending April 30th, 1893,

LhullS fp'h oot'J 'ooo'
The Trustees of the Marietta Water
Works handed in their annual report
to Council last night. Preceding their
report the Trustees had to say as fol-
lows.
Marietta, O., Sept. 20, 1898.
To the Honorable Council of the City
of Marietta, Ohio:
Gentlemen-We hereby submit this
the sixth annual report of the Water
Works for the year ending April Goth,
1898.
In the past year there has been
added to the water system to33 feet of
cast iron pipe, and 1885 feet of gall
vanized pipe; total, 651S feet. Four
(4) fire hydrants and valves attached,
and 1925 feet of 4-inch pipe has been
taken up and replaced by 6-inch.
The number of taps added this year
are 1913, making total of 1899.
Since the last report the Board has
made thorough search for clear
water. During the last summer they
had number of drive wells put down,
running from the edge of the river at
pump station across and onto the is
land, taking the water from four to
70 feet below the rivers bed, saving
the water from the different wells and
at various depths. This water, through
the kindness of Mr.. VIM. F. Monfort,
of Marietta College, was analyzed, and
we are sorry to say that the analysis
shows that the water is of the same
character as the old well that had to
be abandoned on account of the great
amount of iron held in solution.
This was a great disappointment, as
we had thought that by excavating in
the bed of the river and putting in
fltering crib we might get clear water.
AS said in our last report, the Board
have been watching the various eff
forts put forth in river towns to obtain
clear water, but so far they have been
failures, with the exception of a few
places and those have not had time to
prove themselves. The Cook Well
System" a system of brass slit pipe
laid horizontally in the bed of a
stream and covered with sand and
gravel, has been in use in a neighbor-
ing city and has given them fairly good
water, but has at last become clogged
and insufficient.
One of the large cities in the Ohio
Valley has invited the filter compan-
les to make tests of their different
methods of filtering, and it will be
watched by us with great deal of in
terest.
While Marietta is having water
pretty we'll mixed with the soil from
the agricultural country around us,
yet it has not been pronounced un-
healthy, and eventually we may reap
the benefits of experiments made by
other cities. We are still of the opin-
Ion that the best thing to do is for
the city to secure sufficient land with
the proper elevation, and excavate
and build settling basins sufficient to
store large amount of water and
then with increased pumping facilities
the city would have clear water.
The Board finds that it will be nec-
essary to contract for new pumps
this season, and have them built and
placed in position for next seasons
work. Respectfully submitted,
James H. Mcconnell,
John Mills,
John Kaiser,
Trustees.

holy than labor-it is the preaching

work and sewing their hearts blood
into every warp; see the thousands of
idle men in the highways awaiting
an opportunity to earn an honest
living by the sweat of their brow.
Ask them il there is such o thing as
q labor question. Yes, and it is o
burning one. which requires the best

solve. The labor agitator probably
occupies the same position as the
fire bell. Probably none Of US would
like to be awakened from our sleep
by the fire alarm, but we would prefer
it to being allowed to lay in our beds
