Report of Water Works Committee.

Report Of Water Works Committee.
Your committee on water works
would report that Immediately upon
information to the effect that the gen.
eral condition of the health of our citi-
zens was not up to the standard, and
more or less fever was being reported.
it took steps to examine into the condi-
ton of u water.
Professor Floyd Davis, of Des Moines.
was employed to make thorough tests.
These tests with the report on the same
have been given the newspapers OF the
city and were promptly published. In
both tests, made at different times and
places, Professor Davis reports a con-
dition of water substantially pure, n
not the cause of the prevailing ever.
The tests do show, however, some seep-
age, from sources not connected direct
ly with our water supply at the new
wells. Your committee believes it &C.
ours at the works with the well. or
more properly speaking the reservoir,
to which are attached the high pres
sure pumps. This reservoir is a walled
up receptacle standing some twenty
feet from the river bank, and the UNI
usually high water prevailing for the
past year, might give opportunity Tor
some seepage thru from the river.
While such seepageeis not serious as
proven by the analytical tests, yet is
sufficient for your committee to sug-
Dgest methods to entirely stop the same.
The line of large perforated pipe
leading to the receiving reservoir at
the works, was several years ago,
and frequently referred to as the FL
tration gallery, is of great value, n
in fact, indispensable as a reservoir or
supply In case Of flushing or confiagra-
lions. This pipe, some twenty-four
inches in diameter. was laid in q bed OF
sand or gravel. at about the same depth
from the surface as is The supply OF
water at the new wells. The surface
Of the earth tributary to n filtration
gallery has been disturbed consider
ably in some places, by the prevailing
high water and your committee has
been and is still unable on account of
high water to make such examinations
thereto as it would like. 1t is to be
hoped that natural conditions will per-
init it's examination o
In view of the foregoing, your COM
mittee offers the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee OH
water works do and are hereby directed
to obtain plans and specifications Civ
ing approximate cost of such reservoir
or reservoirs as may be necessary to
avoid any opportunity of contact with
water other than the water pumped
into said reservoirs.

come of more than usual interest
owing to its being the scene of the
American invasion into Englands

Liverpool has a peculiarly fine stu
alton on the banks of the river Mer-
sey, three miles distant from the
open sea. The river, but a mile in
width. directly opposite the city. ex-
pands as it goes farther inland, form
ing basin about three miles wide.
The largest steamers can enter its
two channels in perfect safety, so deep
is the water. The tide, which is I'M
usually great, has oftentimes fall of
80 feet at certain seasons of the year.
1t is this which has necessitated the
building of the docks.
Sixty docks fauliing the river for a
distance of over seven miles, and
more building! No other port in the
world can show such facilities as this.
Each one is like a miniature body
Of water in itself, surrounded by mas.
sive stone walls that cut each OFF
from its neighbor as completely as
If they were miles apart. Great gates
of iron open and shut to keep out the
tide, working on the same principle
as the locks of canal.
The docks cover an area of 1856
acres, and there are in all twenty.siS
miles of quays. The masonry Is Of
the finest workmanship, and rising
from the waters edge are great stone
warehouses in which are stored the
cargoes unloaded from the ships

ways, so that the goods may be un
