day marks another epoch in the
history Of our city, in that we
have just comopleted our city
waterworks-a very much need
ed improvement.
The supply comes from five
wells, filed with a never failing
aad excellent quality of water
supplied from springs for miles
around. The pumping machinery
is of the very best obtainable.
There are four miles of mains al.
ready id aud this will be large
ly increased without any delay.
The standpipe is one hundred
aud thirly-five feet above the
level of the ground, and has ca
paeliy Of one hundred thousand
gallons. The pressure is sixty
pounds to the square inch, which
can be increased in case Of fire 20
one hundred nd fifty.fve pounds.
The test showed the work TO be
simply perfect. and great credit is
due hr. Evans, the superi item
dent, for the excellent job he has
done.
Mr.. James New will be the en-
gineer at the pump house.
The pnmps have the power to
force 800 gallons of water per
minute into the standpipe. The
city voted $4,000 bonds for this
work Of improvement and al-
though they we're only FIVE per
cents, yet they were easily sold at
I0S, showing the excellent stand
ing Of our finances aud credit.
We may now look for q reduc-
