The Selma Street reservoir of the Selma Water Company was emptied and cleaned today under the direction of Superintend- ent M. L. Worrell.
 The reservoir was first vacated of all water after which the big basin was scrub bed and secured as carefully as a wash tub. A diaphragm pump was used to take out all the silt and sand from the bot tom and at noon today the 'city's water bucket" as MT. Worrell calls 1t, was as clean as a Dutch kitchen. After taking the sun for several hours the reservoir was again filled.
 Superintendent Worrell had taken all precautions against accident while the res ervoir was empty. The big standpipe. 135 feet high, was kept filled for fires if they should happen, and in the meantime the water for ordinary use in the city was supplied from the East Selma pumping station. The fire engines were also held in readiness.
