PROPOSED BILL
F0R BOND ISSUE
Water Commissioners Jones
and Pyle Favor Measure
to Obtain Money

The bin proposed by City Council
for a bond issue to build the contem-
plated new reservoir will probably be
presented to- the General Assembly this
week. Water Commissioners Jones and
Pyle will support the bin, and Presi-
dent Alfred Belts, of the department,
will oppose it.
The need of additional storage facili-
ties was never more apparent than at
the present time The condition Of
water for a week past is a better argu-
ment of this than amy amount OF dis
cussion indulged in by city officials.
Since the recent break in the south
long race along the Brandywine, only
one foot of water could be run into the
race. which was Immediately pumped
from the pumping station, after pass
ing through the filtration plant to the
city reservoirs, remaining such a short
time in the settling basin as to make
it impossible to clear properly.
The Porter reservoir should be built
at once, said Commissioner Jones, and
as it would take from eight 10 ten years
to build it by paying for it from the
surplus of the Water Department, IL
would be better to issue bonds for an
immediate loan Of 100000. with the
privilege Of borrowing enough to mee
the actual demands as it becomes nee
essary by the work on the proposed
improvement
