Proposed improvements Estimated
at $4,000.

The report of Daniel W. Mead, con-
sulting engineer, who was engaged by
the water works committee of the city
council to visit the city and look ever
the ground of the water works system,
to suggest Improvements for the bet
terment OF the general service, was
read before the council Monday night.
MIR. Mead recommends the immediate
construction of a new and tight pump
ing pit. and says that this is the most
essential improvement for the city, and
should be begun at the earliest possible
moment He also recommends, in con-
nection, the construction Of ressr-
voir.
In letter to the council. accompany
ing the report, Mr.. Mead says there is
no reason why both improvements t:an-
not be carried on and completed dur
ing the present season. 1t will prob
ably take from two to three weeks to
prepare plans. and specifications, go
that the work might be let the latter
part OF the month and should be TOM
pleted by December l.
Mr.. Mead says he should not care 10
undertake the preparation of the plans
unless he also supervised the work, as
the success of the entire work will dc
pend not only on the plans, but OIL the
most careful construction. He says

Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany Secures Work at $1.8O

BIDS ALL RANGE WITHIN 5 CENTS
Cement Curling Goes for s5 Cents Per
LineaI Foot; Extra Grading at 80
cents-sidewaIk Contract, With One
Bidder, is Not Let-council Disposes
of Considerable Important Business.

The Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany is not only going to
do all the asphalt paving In
Marshalltown during the present
season, but the brick as well. AT the
adjourned meeting of the council Mon
day evening, when the bids for the
work on Byron, North, Second avenue,
and Main street were opened, the Bar
Der company was found to be the low
est bidder. The council awarded the
contract to the Barber people at $1.S0
per square yard for the one course of
vitrified brick over concrete; 80 cents
per lineal foot for cement curbing; so
cents per cubic yard for extra grading,
and 1la cents per cubic yard for every
200 feet of extra hauling over 1,4O0
feet. The Barber people will use
Des Moines brick of their own manu-
facture, either Atlas, Vulcan or Omega
Portland cement, and natural cement.
either In Milwaukee or
Mankato. The work is to be commence
ed August Is, and be completed by
October 10.
There were five other bids on the

extra hauling. He proposed to use
German American Portland cement,
and natural cement manufactured by
Fowler &, Pay, Mankato. The McCar-
thy Stone Company, of Davenport, on
brick manufactured by the Purington
Paving Brick Company, Galesburg, ILL.,,
bid sl.S3; so cents for the curbing: 35
cents for the extra grading: and 8
cents for extra hauling. Garden City
Portland, and Utica natural by Meach-
am & Wright, Chicago, were proposed.
Ely & Dunn, of this city entered two
bids, $1.S11s If Oskaloosa brick were
used and s1.S2 for the burlington brick.
The curbing in both bids We're placed
at 391a cents; grading at 80 cents; and
extra hauling 2 cents. They bid on
Atlas Portland and Mankato natural
cement. j. c. Likes, Des Moines, was
the highest bidder at $1.s5. His bid on
curbing was So cents; 40 cents for the
grading, and 1 cent for extra hauling.
He proposed to use German American
Portland. and Fowler & Pay natural.
There was considerable speculation
among the large crowd of people in
terested, while the council was in cau-
Gus on the bids, as to who would
be the successful bidder The Ely q
Dunn bid, on the Purington brick, at
2 cents in advance ofithat of the Bar
Der people, on Des Moines brick, was
considered by many to be the best OF
the lot, as the Purington brick is gen
orally considered to be about as good
a paving brick as is manufactured.
In connection with the paving matter
Mr.. Greene presented petition signed
by West Main street property owners,
asking that the street be made thirty
six feet wide between 'curbs, from the
end Of the present paving to Thirteenth
street. City Solicitor Van Law stated
that as long the the specifications for
the paving had been stated In asking
for bids, it would be Impossible to alter
them at this time. Mr. Greene with-
drew his motion to the effect that the
matter be referred to the streets and
alleys committee with power to act.
Mr.. Abbott brought up the formal
resolution notifying the Marshalltown
Light, Power & Rrailway Company to
pave between its tracks, and one foot
on either side, from the end Of the
present paving to Thirteenth street.

well and pumping 1t from this well
directly into the city mains, the wattr
will be obtained by your citizens in as
good condition as when 1T comes from
the wells, provided that after these I'M
provements are made, all mains, and
especially the dead ends of the system,
shall be thoroughly flushed.
The above Improvements are the es-
sential improvements necessary to keep
the water supply unpolluted. In con-
nection with these improvements, how
ever, it appears that a. considerable eX-
tension of the pumping well in the form
of an auxiliary reservoir is highly de-
sirable.
Accompanying this report are two
diagrams, which are based on the rec
ords at the water works, and show
the daily pumpage from March l. 1901,
to June 80, 1908. From these diagrams
is will be noted that there is very
great variation in the quantity of water
pumped on different days turnout the
year.
1T will be noted that the average
pumpage during June, 1903. was only
about 1850, 900 gallons per day of TWEEN
ty-four hours. This pumpage has.
however. been considerably exceeded at
comparatively recent dates and has,
during the last two years, reached a
maximum, on Dec. 81, 1902, of 100000
gallons, and has frequently exceeded
100000 gallon rate.
1T is found in the operation OF the
most water works systems that, tax
ing the average pumpage for the year,
at 100 per cent, the average pumpage
for the month of maximum consump-
ton will usually be about 125 per cent
of the average pumpage for the year
The pumpage for the maximum day
will usually equal about $50 per cent,
and the pumpage for the maximum
hour in the maximum day will equal
about 250 per cent of the yearly av-
erage, and when fire service is required,
as it sometimes is during hours when
the consumption is high, the pumpage
may reach 300 to 400 per cent of the
average yearly pumpage.
Taking the average pumpage for the
year at Marshalltown at 100000 gall
Ions, the pumpage of the maximum
day should be about 2,225,000 gallons.
altho 1t will be noted from the dta-
grams that this has been consider
ably exceeded on at least two dates.
The maximum rate of pumpage
during the day of maximum pumpage
would ordinarily reach about 3,750.o00
gallons and, including fire service, the
rate may occasionally reach from A.
100000 to possible maximum of o.

"rhe quantity Of water obtainable
from the drive wells now supplying tn,
city Of Marshalltown, at the driest pc
Rod is not accurately known, and
while the quantity is apparently suffi-
cient for the average needs of the city
at present, and probably will be for
some years to come, 1t is not sufficient,
under present conditions, to supply
the maximum possible demand at all
times. The occurrence Of large fire.
at times when the ordinary consump-
ton of water is high, and during
extreme dry weather, would, therefore,
be apt to overtax the capacity Of the
we'll system and under such condi-
tons, would require the admission
of river water into the system, and
this might readily occur at time when
the total daily consumption, includ-
ing the fire supply. is well within the
capacity OF the well system. This con-
>dition would be occasioned simply be-
cause the demand for water for an hour
or two might be greater than the wells
could supply. This condition is COM
mon to almost all we'll systems, and
can only be obviated, without undue
extension of the well system, by the
storage of sufficient water 70 take care
of the ordinary variations in consump-
ton In my Judgment storage ca
pacity of 100000 gallons will obviate
any ordinary danger Of water shortage.
with the meters you now have in use
and such additional ones as you Will
probably hereafter install, the average
maximum daily supply will probably
not exceed 100000 to 100000 gal
lone, which amount the wells are prob
ably able to furnish.
IF, in connection with this supply,
a 1000, 900 gallon storage is available,
it is evident that you can pump at the
rate of 100000 gallons for period OF
twenty four hours, or at rate OF A.
100000 gallons for twelve hours, or at
the rats OF 100000 for six hours.
These periods will be sufficient to pro-
vide for any emergency which is like
ly to occur
in this connection it should be noted
that the water from the drive wells
contains a considerable quantity OF
iron, which has apparently caused a
turbid appearance in the water from
some of the service pipes In the city,
but which has apparently not yet
reached . serious stage, but 1t is apt

he will furnish plans, specifications and
supervision for the construction of the
pump pit for 5000, or for the entire I'M
provement recommended for $1,000.
This will include detailed plans. specl-
fications. attendance at the letting, per-
sonal assistance in preparation OF oil
contracts, furnishing an INSPECTOR to
remain on the work during The con-
struction, and his personal attention to
the work at frequent intervals during
construction. The council took no ac-
ton on the report, further thin to &C
cept it, and will hold a special meet
ing on Thursday night, at which time
consideration of the report will be TAX
en- up.
Mr.. Mead's report to the committee
is as follows:
ITO the Water Works Committee,
Marshalltown. Iowa. Gentlemen: In
accordance with the instructions re-
ceived from r. W. Mcbride, OF your
committee, visited Marshal!town on
July % and %, and examined the meth
cd and arrangements now In use for
securing and conserving the water sup
ply of your city. j have carefully read
and considered the various reports on
the bacterial and chemical eXamlna-
tons which have been made in connec-
ton with the city water supply.
From the conditions observed. and
from the evidence presented, it is ap-
parent that, under the present condi-
tons, the water supply from the drive
wells is of satisfactory quality, and, If
properly conserved and distributed,
without being polluted after it leaves
the drive wells, it will afford salts
factory water for domestic use.
st is also apparent that the water
from these wells has been at least &C.
,casionally polluted. and is still sub
'jected to possible pollution. by water
coming from the old filtration gallery,
and by water seeping into the pres
ent pumping pit from the river during
high water, which may, and does, oc-
casionally become mingled with 1.-THE
we'll water before it reaches the con.
Sunler.
"rhe remedy for the defects In these
conditions Is obvious, and should con-
sist, first, in the construction of per-
fectly tight suction we'll in place or
the defective suction well now in use
and, second, by disconnecting the old
infiltration pipe entirely from the new
work. BY delivering the well water ui-
.rectly into the new and tight suction

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Mcbride G. Will Say Hyomei Will Give
ReIief-SoId Under Guarantee.

The season for hay fever is almost
at hand and many people feel that they
will be obliged to leave town in order
to avoid the sneezing, watery eyes and
other annoying symptoms of this dis
agreeable summer disease.
Mcbride g. Will wish us to announce
that when Hyomei is used, either as a
preventive or cure, there viii be no
hay fever. They advise the use of Hy-
omei daily for two or three weeks be-
fore the usual time for the annual APP
pearance Of hay fever. In this way the
attack will be prevented. If, however,
2 the preventive treatment was not
started soon enough nd the disease
comes on, use Hyomei six or sevel
times daily and also rub Hyomei Balm
thoroughly into the nostrils both morn
ing and night. This treatment will re-
lieye at once and give a speedy and
permanent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your
own home, a climate filed with ozone
and healing balsams, the same air that
one breathes at the White Mountains
or other health resorts.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. 1t is natures own
method for curing all diseases of the
respiratory organs, and is breathed
thru a neat pocket inhaler that ac-
companies every outfit, so that the
medicated air reaches the minutest air
cells, killing all germs and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous MEM
brane.
1t is the one treatment for hay fever
where Mcbride & Will guarantee to re-
fund the money if it does not give sat
isfaction. All who are subject to hay
fever should begin its use at once SO
~ to prevent the disease.

to cause more or less trouble in the
future. unless some remedy is applied.
Aeration and sedimentation will large
ly remove this iron from the water, ana
i'm the construction Of reservoir sucn
form OF construction should be usea
as will accomplish 1t in the best man
nef.
"The construction of q reservoir Ior
aeration and storage would, therefore.
considerably improve the character Oh
the water to be furnished the city OF
Marshalltown, and would render the
wells adequate to meet all probable ue-
mands on them for some years 10 come.
Should future growth demand a greater
storage capacity, it can readily be op-
tanned by the addition of a second res
ervo!r This reservoir should be about
ITO feet in diameter, and should be
built to contain q depth of about fifteen
feet of water. 1t should be so connect
ed with the present plant that the
water from the low lift pumps may be
pumped into it. and so that this water,
after passing thru the reservoir, will
flow back to the pumping pit at the
present works.
II understand that the "a inch cast
iron pipe now connects the old intll-
tration gallery with the present pump
pit. This pipe. which is understood tol
be in good condition, should be discon-
nected from the tile pipe of the filtra-
ton gallery, and extended to the new
reservoir and used to conduct the water
from the reservoir to the new pump pit
A new 16-inch cast iron pipe should be
connected to the discharge pipe from
the low service pump, and be laid I'M
derneath the river to the new reservoir,
and So arranged that the water will be
thoroughly aerated before 1t falls into
the reservoir. In passing slowly thru
iron will be deposited therein, and the
water will flow by gravity to the new
pump pit, from which 1t will be pumped
into the city mains.
"The reservoir should be so arranged
that it can be drained and cleaned in
oxide. 1t should also be arranged with a |
partial division wall, so that one side
may be cleaned while the other retains
at least portion of its water. This
reservoir must be covered to keep the
water from the light and from atmos-
pheric dirt, and thus retain the water
in a pure and satisfactory condition.

tails OF the piping at the present works |

The county supervisors, who in
spected the bridge on Thirteenth street,
Just south OF the Soldiers Home, on
Monday, with a view of determining
whether or not it should be repaired or
replaced with new and more sub
stantial structure. decided that a new
bridge was necessary. The wooden
bridge has been in service many years.
and is now considered unsafe for heavy
traffic. The street cars can not run
over it with any sense Of safety, and
the county will beginat once the work
Of remedwing the difficulty.
A new iron bridge will be placed
where the wooden one now stands. Ii
will be thirty eight-foot span. twenty
feet wide. with walks for pedestrians on
either side and wagon road on one
side of the street car track. The bridge
will be raised about two feet from the
present street level, as there is a sag
in the street. and 1t will have to be
brought to proper grade some time.
The bridge will have cement abutments
on either end for the approaches, ana
will cost between $500 and $500.
