THE CITl'S WATER SERVICE.
A Model System-Quantity Used Dur
ing the Year.

A Model Extraordinarily Used Dur
ing the Year.
The water service Of the city has
been operated without interruption
since the system was completed.
There have been no breaks in the ma
chinery or the mains TO delay the de-
livery of water into the reservoir or
the hydrants. The people who take
the water service have never been
scrimped in the quantity of water
they wished to use, and no complaint
has ever been made or could reason
ably be made as to the quality OF the
water.
On the 1st of January, 1901, about
200 families take the water service.
The cost Of water TO the people is
very moderate but is more than 1t
may be after the city is out OF debt.
II is intended that there shall be
reasonable surplus from the water
rates tax paid by the immediate bene-
ticiaries--t the users OF water-above
the expense of the service as part
payment on the bonds. When the
bonds are paid the city can consist
emily furnish water at the cost OF the
service, and when the works can be
operated without the outlay for fuel
the reduction OF rates may be gagged
accordingly.
During the year 1899 the pumps
raised from the artesian wells and
forced into the reservoir $50 feet
above the surface OF the wells 30,27l,-
S04 gallons, or nearly 100000 barrels
Of water, which volume ran again
through the mains and was used in
the homes Of the people. In 1900 the
amount Of water used was 29,0l6, $50
gallons l,255,554 gallons less than
1899 This at first thought may seem
to be unreasonable-as we remem Der
what an uncommonly dry summer we
had, but when we consider that the
fall months were exceptionally wet,
the question is better understood.
BY reference to the table below this
question Of parative humidity OF
the atmosphere may be readily seen
In May and June, the two driest
months, the quantity of water used
was almost one-third OF what was
used in the remaining ten months Of
the year. The amount of water usec
in the houses should not vary much
whether the weather be dry or wet
nor does it. The months OF May,
June, July and August will generally
show nearly or quite double the
amount used In spring and winter be-
cause the lawns require it. And here
is where the question of the weather
affects the use OF water from the
mains. If there is much rain the
lawns will need but little or none from
the wells. June was exceedingly dry,
and in that month the use Of over Al
million gallons, nearly three times
the normal monthly quantity used In
houses, shows what large amount
was used on the lawns.
Quantity OF water used for each Of
the twelve months Of the wear 1000.

New Years Eve for this reason, no doubt. is

end is the beginning of "A ball of the same color
which is hidden some ewherc in the house. Each
person selects a string which he must follow,
winding up as he goes, to keep free from tanglcs.
If these balls cleverly put away the whole
house may be turned into "A hunting ground

guiding cords must be carefully handled, or else
they will snap, and the clew he lost. At the end
of the search each person finds the remainder

carefully up with funny bit of advice to the
finder. The one who winds his bah most neatly
and quickly should have IA prize. The bits of
advice may be anything. such as:
