A MAGNIFICENT
 WATER SYSTEM An Institution of Which Birmingham
 People Are Proud. THE SUPPLY NOW UNLIMITED The System is in Duplicate and the City is Insured Against All Accidents-Two Big ResevoirS-n-
 portant Improvements

Than Birmingham there is not a city in the south that can boast of a more exten- sive water works system. Like numerous other quasi-public corporations, the details of the enormous expense of the construc- ton and maintaining of the Birmingham water works, the labor required to interest capital in the enterprise, and the stupend- eus task of meeting the needs and demands of such a city, as this one is destined to be, are not eomprehended by any but those d- reetly connected with tine institution; and as a result it has been subjected at times to criticism.
 Such criticism, it may be said, not infre- auently arises from circumstances and is prompted by motives whcih are not clear 1y understood by the general public, and, as result, erroneous and unjust impress sicns are sometimes created. It has always been the policy of the Birmingham Water Works company to give heed to all honest complaints however insignificant The present management manifests on all oc- casions willingness to make any change suggested, that might improve the sys- tenn. Indeed, it invites suggestions, and it can be truly said that no conscientious sug- gestion has ever been disregarded.
 It is noteworthy fact, however, especially as regards the water works, that there is a growing tendency on the part of the peo- pie to take more conservative view of matters pertaining to local corporations, whose interests are identical with those of the private citizen, and whose success and prosperity are dependent upon the success and prosperity of the community at large.
 Quality of the Supply.
 Regarding the quality of the water fur nished the people of Birmingham, the repor- ter yesterday secured a statement by Dr. William P. Mason, an eminent chemist, who last December made several analytical tests of the water supplied by the Brming- ham Water Works company. The analyses are in the office of the company, and are open to inspection by any one. In fact, the company invite inspection, especially by physicians and other people of scisntifc Knowledge. An extract from pr. Masons report, which he submitted with the an- alyses, is presented below. Dr. Mason is in charge of the department of chemistry of the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N. Y. Owing to the distinguished po- sition which he occupies and the high rePu- tation which he enjoys, he could not afford to make other than an unbiased report on any investigation that he might make,
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

hence his analysis of, and statement con- cernng the water of this city, must be ac- cepted as absolutely reliable.
 Dr. Mason's Report
 "Troy, N. Y, December 21, 1S9s Birmingham Water Works Company, Bir-
 mingham, Ala:
 "Gentlemen-Permit me to submit the foi- lowing report relating to what l saw of your water system during my recent visit to Birmingham, and setting forth the re- suls of the chemical and bacteriological eX aminations of the samples of water per sonally secured by me at that time
 "I remained in Birmingham from Decem- Der 4th until the evening of the lth, 1S9S. During that time the weather was clear and cold
 During the days of my visit. I made careful examination of your several sources of water supply, especially noting the character of the water sheds, and minutely inspecting the location and character of your storage reservoirs. Most of the dis tance covered was by the use of carriage, but frequently opportunity was taken to examine sundry details by going OH foot
 "The water shed: Upon the south, found the water sheds of the two Cahaba rivers to be very wild country, covered with for est and poetically uninliablted. Prae- tically mo settlement was discovered, except at your companys pump ing station. No drainage from that hamlet could reach the water supply at the time of my visit. l note from the map that the towns of Leeds on Little Cahaba and Trussville, on Big Cahaba, are respectively some twelve and twenty miles up stream from your pumping station. These villages are small and unseWered. l did not anticipate any effect would be pro- dueed upon your water supply by the Vll- lages in question, and ehe analylttical re- suits showed this presumption to be correct.
 "On the north side I observed that the water shed of Five Mile creek exhibited more land under cultivation than was the case upon the south side, but such ti!lage was not such as to in any way effect the quality of the water derived from that source. l was especially struck with the fact that your company had taken great and special pains to protect the water from pollution after it had been gathered from it's natural channels, by building substan- tial auueducts of sundry forms to carry It in safety to the city. l most earnestly wish that the water delivered to this city of Troy were as carefully guarded.
 "In appearance, the water from the in- take in Five Mile creek is very similar to that of little Cahaba, being much clearer than that furnished by Big Cahaba.
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

the common knowledge that the supply Is inexhaustible.
 The cost to che consumer Is quite reason- able, by no means commensurate with the expense and trouble with which the water is obtained. and lower than in many other cities, which do not afford nearly so good a quality or great pressure
 Uost of Maintaining the Systems
 Owing ito the peculiar geographical con- ditions existing in Birmingham and su- burbs the cost of maintaining the system is much greater than in cities more densely populated. The residence sections cover large area and the consumers are, in many instances a considerable distance apart. Yet the cost of constructing and maintain Ing mains for a half dozen patrons IS just as large as for a score. New houses are going up, more people are coming in every day, the city proper Is increasing in popula- ton, the gaps between the suburban towns are rapidly filling up, and it is said that before long the conditions will be such as to warrant a reduction in the cost to con- sumers.
 The system. as previously announced in the Age-Herald. was recently sold to a syn dicate. whose head is MT. w. S. Kuhn. of Pittsourg, and who is president of the BIT mingham Water Works company. MT. Kuhn has had considerable eXperinece in the management of water works systems and his well known policy of meeting the demands and needs of the public has al- ready been made manifest here.
 Alderman J. F. Graham the secretary and treasurer, has fer a long time been con- nected with the system, is thoroughly lden- tifed with the interests of the city, and is numbered among Birminghams most en- Iterprising and public spirited citizens.
 The superintendent, MT. A. M. Lynn, has shown himself thoroughly competent man for the important position which he holds. He succeeded Major w. J. Milner.

 "No. I'm a armer now

I wasn't notlin but common cracker But I've bought extra piece of ground an lifted couple of mortgages, an now I'm a farmer. Elf the luck holds out I'll have some money in the bank fin few years.

a tie, and to say that the Pittston boys

BOILER PLANT ExPLoDEs.
Three Men Are Killed and Three
Wounded at Cumberland.

Cumberland, Md, March 2l.-The
saw mill boiler at the plant of Hud-
son Shuss, near Matte, fifteen miles
north of Cumberland, exploded today
killing Phletus Wink, Daniel Snyder,
jr., engineer and a man named Shuss,
who was sawyer, and wounding John
Snyder, Harry Sigle and Anthony
Whitfield. The boiler had been in use
many years. Snyder was horribly
crushed and blown about 100 feet, and
Wink's head was blown off. When
found his feet were entangled in the
carriage with his shoulders hanging
down in the creek. An iron pin was
driven clear through Whitfield's neck
from the back. John Snyders condi-
ton is serious. The mill was almost
entirely obliterated. Sigle, who was
within ten feet of the boiler, escaped
with a broken leg.
