PERATIONS
ARB BLOCKED
Another Complaint About The
Department Directors
$66,OOO INVESTMENT INVOLVED
Houses on East Side Being Erected
Upon Promises Made bV
The Board
INVESTMENT INVOLVED

More complaint is now being made
regarding the actions of the Street and
Sewer Directors respecting the manner
in which the business of the depart
ment is being conducted.
Some time ago James b. Oberly, with
other persons, decided TO erect thirty
four houses in the vicinity of Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth, Jessup and
Pine streets. at a cost of about S66, 600.
AS the streets were not at that time
condemned. nor ready for opening by
the city, in order to be assured that
there would not be trouble I'm the mat
ter. Mr., Oberly asked the Directors to
bring the streets to grade. and unless
such was the case he did not desire to
invest money in the enterprise. Mr.
Oberly says that he was assured by the
Directors of the department that he
could proceed with the operations and
that the streets would be properly
Graded.
READY FOR USE.
Acting in accordance with This in
structlon, Mr.. Oberiy and others inter-
ested at once began the work of build
ing THE houses, and at the present time
the cellars for Thirty houses have beeu
walled in, the brickwork OF twenty is
about finished, and two mere OF tho
houses will be ready for occupancy in
a few days. Just here is where thJ
difficulty comes in. The streets thui
far have not been brought to grade anC
as a consequence no water connec
tions can be made. 1t is the rule o.
the Water Commission That no main.
be laid jan streets that have not beer
properly graded, The reason for thii
is that the department desires to know
the exact level of the street bed befor,
laying it's pipes, in order to avoid wha
/ is known as pockets in the main. a
! in case sudh exist tho supply Of waite
to some houses win be muddy and IN
i fit for use.
Now that the properties are nearin
completion, Mr.. Oberly is anxious tha
the streets be brought TO grade, as un
til such is done MO water can be OBJ
/ tanned, and in consequence THE house
will be practically untenantable Fl
applied to the directors at their las
meeting for some remedy. but was me
/ by an evasive answer, which allege
ilIst tIhe condemnation Of the street
I had not yet been accepted. and tina
the department was not in financia
condition to do the work.

NEW RESERVOIR
NOW is NEEDED
Capacity Of Present Basins
Is Too Small
MUDDY WATER is PLENTIFUL
Engineer Says Pumping Station Can
not Remain Idle Longer Than
Five DAYS

Chief Engineer Bond, OF the Water
Department. is of the opinion that the
city is badly in need OF another city
basin. In speaking of the subject this
morning. he said:
1--WE think the time is at hand when
we should have larger reservoir facili-
ties. The present reservoirs are not
large enough. and we would hike to
have more storage capacity so that we
could stop pumping while the water Is
muddy. AT present we have but about
five days storage capacity, and are
forced to pump muddy water, whereas
If we had a reservoir sufficiently large
TO contain the product of 30 or 40
tlays' work of the pumps. we could give
clear water to the consumers. Our
filter also Is too small, and what water
u will not take we have to pump. The
Rodney street reservoir does not hold
over twenty hours consumption, and
when we are cleaning out a reservoir
we have to keep our pumps going all
the time while the cleansing process Is
going on. We cannot pump enough
water to last over half the night when
we are cleaning q reservoir. Another
fault of the present service is that GER
leain sections OF the city do not get suf-
icient water pressure. especially in the
second stories OF the houses. The pro-
posed new reservoir would give them
better pressure.
"If the new plan goes into effect Il
will not in my opinion increase the
rate of water tax. think the preseni
revenue is sufficient to make the i'm
lprovements without increasing the rate
or Of borrowing any money The new
RESERVOIR will hold. eventually, about
2O0, ,0OO,0 gallons Of water"
