At first glance it would appear that
the city has been bonded beyond the
2 per cent. limit, or s400, 900, but this is
not the case, according to the view OF
the commissioners. They hold that the
bridge issue of $250000, which was a
popular loan, is not to be included
when considering the indebtedness Of
the city as contemplated by the law,
in which the 2 per cent. limit is fixed.
According to the commissioners con-
tention. councils have still leeway OF
about $4,000 before the 2 per cent.
limit would be reached.

Another Water Suggestion.

Eds. Record Union: Some years ago
l took quite an interest in the question
of water from the east side wells for
city supply, and conducted a few ex-
periments for parties interested.
/ soon found SO many enthusiasts
who knew so much that could not be
demonstrated who could assert stories
of rushing underground rivers, mex
haustible reservoirs with Lake Tahoe
connection, etc, that I felt that the
few small truths that / had gotten from
actual experience We're not worth men
tiOning.
1 see now, however, that a committee
is talking of trying again, and as far
as | have read of any plans it would
seem to be the same old experiment
over again.
Now, II any more experiments are to
be made, why not try something prac-
teal and demonstrate what we need
most to know?
The first experiment of this last series
of teStS-the one which carried the cleo
ton for clear WATERWAYS the we'll at
Oak Park. That well is six inches in
diameter and about 40 feet deep. The
natural forces keep the water up in
this we'll to level IA feet below the
surface of the ground. We used a sur
face or suction pump, but set it down
near TO the water level so we were able
to pump the water down to 40 feet
below the ground surface. From this
point we were raising between 800 and
1000 gallons of water per minute, but
this volume of water coming up
through 100 feet of six-inch well tube
created a friction equal to the natural
force below that was sending up the
water and a limit was reached. A
larger pump or more speed would not
bring more water from that we'll by
suction, because friction equaled ma
ture's forces.
The only simple hydraulic or scientific
fact shown was that the amount Of
water that can be drawn from a well
will be exactly in proportion to its area,
depth and other conditions being equal
The next experiment of record was
the wells bored under the Fish con-
tract. These wells We're eight inches
in diameter and the pumps proportion
ately large. The depth and other con-
ditions were practically the same as at
Oak Park.
1t was astonishing how accurately
the friction table for water in pipes
indicated the exact amount we could
pump before we tried the experiment.
When we got the pump fully at work
and measured the water we had just
the same in proportion to area of we'll
as we pumped at Oak Park-about 1,600
gallons per minute, as I now remem
ber. This experiment simply confirmed
the other and gave no new facts.
Last summer a Mr.. Bishop bored a
well by order of a committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. This we'll was
the largest of the series-12 inches in
diameter, I think. Mr. Bishop labored
under several difficulties The pump
they used was badly afflicted with slip
page, and he was Handicapped by lack
of sufficient power.
] assisted in running this pump one
day, by request of Messrs Lindley,
Coleman and Lewis of the committee,
and carefully noted results.
When we got steam up several pres
sures above safety point" and 'let
her go" we got a stream very nearly
equal to what a 12-inch we'll should
deliver, the shortage being due, no
doubt, to slippage AS the power slowly
went down the stream from the pump

PHELPS HIT A WOMAN.
Pleads Guilty and Will be Fined
on Monday.

In the City Justices Court yesterday
morning Clarence Phelps, a working
man, pleaded guilty to battery. The
offense was committed on Monday, and
consisted in striking an old woman who
has for five years cast her fortunes
with his.
Judge Anderson took some evidence
to determine the character of the crime.
The woman said: He's altogether too
handy with his fists, and he has often
knocked me down and beaten me. He
struck me on Sunday, and has struck
me often"
The man swore he hit in self-defense,
and that the woman had beaten and
annoyed him. even following him to
his work.
"I'u make an example of this case,
though there was some provocation,
said the Judge.
Sentence (Which will be fine. the
Judge said) was postponed until the
21st, to allow the defendant to collect
his wages so as to meet the judgment.
