CLEAR WATER.
For the last few years the question -.
securing for the city clear water, mas oe.
as much discussed in Manchester as ~
Richmond. Both cities are supplied ;thise
from James river and have to put ~
with the same conditions.
There are gentlemen in Mancnestei /" ~
have been considering carefully many pos
sible ways of remedyins the trouble, ~
Guiding filtration and a change OF souiee'
and have at last reached the CONCLUSION
that change OF source will be less eNpeh-
sive and give the best results. 1t IS pro-
posed to supply the city with pure, cooi
and clear spring water, from What IS
now known as Holly Springs. at the mead
of Maury Street.
There are twelve of these springs flowing
cool and clear from the earth in a radius
of a few wards. and the idea is to concen-
trate these streams, which will furnish an
ample supply of water for the "hole city
It is stated that this change OF source
would be little expense to the city, as the
present system could be easily used, neces-
stating only the laying of mains for
few blocks, in order to convey the spring
water to the present pipe system. This
plan Is considered reasonable, as it is
inexpensive and will certainly afford per-
manent relief from the muddy, unsiShtly
water now used.
