Water in the East Basin is Being.
CURIOUS THINGS Nc GOTTEN {; /. i En- OUT.

All the water in the east basin OF the
new reservoir is being drawn off, and
many fish. frogs, cells, water-dogs.
snakes, Lizards, water-spiders and other
mysterious things are being brought to
view. -
The work of drawing off the water be-
gan Monday last, and it will take until
some time Saturday to getsthe basin In
readiness for NIr. S. P Clay's hands.
The contract compels him to begin the
work of cleaning out the basin by Mon
day next. 1t will take several weeks TO
complete the work.
Seines are now being used to get OUT
the fish and other living things in the
basin.
Both basins are said to be- filed with
the incest kind of fish. On yesterday
some bass weighing over three pounds
were caught in the seines. Numerous
small fish were caught.
WILL GIVE FISH AWAY.
Mr.. Clay told Superintendent Boiling
that The was willing to give the members
of the Water Depa rtment and the Com
mittee on Water all the fish they wanted
Judging from the number already got
ten from the basin MT. Gay VIII HdSe
more fish than he will know what to
do with.
Neither Of the basins have been clean
ed out within the past twenty years
and it is possible that there are many
things at the bottoms that ought not
to be there.
BETTER DRINKING WAITER.
Several hundred men will be employed
on the work and it will be pushed for
ward with all possible speed
The work must be completed before
the warm weather sets in.
It is estimated that there is $4,000 CUBIC
yards of deposit in the reservoir The
cost for cleaning out both basins Will
approximate something like $1a,0ao. The
contract specifies that % per cent OF the
money be held back until the work u
completed In the event of the contrac-
tors failure to complete the work within
sixty days $50 for each additional day
taken in the completion of the work is
deducted from the amount to be paid
Mr.. Clay.
Mr.. Boiling says that Mr.. Clay will
have his hands full to complete the work
within the specified time. He also says
that the water will be great deal better
as soon as the basins are cleaned out.
