SEEK TO BETTER
WATER SUPPLY
Council Hears. Report on Lib
erty Park Wells.
COST OF PUMP STATION
THE WATERWoRKs COMMITTEE
WILL INVESTIGATES FURTHER.

In committee of the whole the coIln-
Gil last night listened to a report from
City Engineer Kelsey on the PROPOSE
ton to pump the water from the an.
tesian wells in Liberty park into the
CITY s dlsrributive system The eRgi-
neer offered no econEnendationss sim
ply stating the cost of The pFonOsed
Improvement and the amount Of water
to be gained thereby. Aeconrpanyihg
the report was an ANALYSIS of the water
made by Professor tHadiey, the uni
versity chemist
City Engineer Kelsey wrote that the
total flow of the wells and springs on
May % was 1,673.0OO gallons daily OF
this amount $685. 900 gallons corae from
the wells The engineer stated that
part of this water was seepage from
irrigation and when the season for
that work was over the supply would
decrease. As illustrating this fact he
showed that the total flow from the
wells and springs in January OF this
year was only $4,000 gallons daily. Z.
To make this water available f6f
general city purposes woulde neeessi-
tate a pumping plant $of 2,000.G00 gal
dOnS capacity at cost of from 1854 COO
to $4,000 Two blocks of -pipe would
have to be taken up because 1T is too
small and replaced by other pipe OF
wider diameter This work world take
from four to six weeks and frorn fouz-
to six months additional would be re-
Quired to get the pumping machinery
here and have &C set up ready for
operating.

appointment was manifest on the
.countenances of the councilmen when
Recorder NyStrOm finished the reading.
They had. hoped to get "a much larger
increase in the water supply than the
figures showed. On motion of Thomas
the report was referred to the water
works committee with Instructions to
investigate the matter further. 1t is
not likely that affirmative action VIII
be taken.
The committees also RStened to re-

NEW YORK. July l5.--Secre,ary Of
AgrlculIur, Wilson hopes that the
corn crop of the western states has no;
yet been ruined by the drouih, says a
Washington dispatch to the Herald.
He Is dIsoosed to believe the reports as

For myself. | think We shall have
plenty of corn in this country. The
press reports from Kansas and Ne
hraskl are ot course discouraging but
The crop in those states is not great ex-
cent In the eastern portions. The great
corn belt Of this country is east Of the
Missouri river and west Of the Ohio.
