ADDITIONAL SERVICE
Railway Mail Clerks to Be Placed on
the Santa Fe Trains Nos.
and 8.

A railway mail clerk is to be sta
toned on trains No. / from the East
and No. from the West on the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
This improvement of the service was
to have gone into effect Immediately
but the railway company is unable to
supply the necessary railway mail ser.
vice cars in less than six months.
F. A. Putney of Denver, chief clerk
of the railway mail service between
Cheyenne, Wyo., and Ell Paso, Tex,
arrived in Santa Fe on Saturday even
ing and last evening left over the San
ia Fe Central railway to report upon
the advisability of giving mail con-
tract to that company for the mail to
Kennedy, Moriarty, Estancia. Tor
rance and such through mail as will
make better time via the Rock Island
and Santa Fe Central With the es-
tablishment of this service, Santa Fe
will have ten outgoing mails and ten
incoming mails this winter.
The postoffice department has noti-
fled Delegate B. S. Rodey: THAT the
last investigation as to free delivery
at Santa Fe indicated that the re-
quirements of the department as to
sidewalks and the numbering OF
houses, has not been complied with,
and an adverse report was made" A
reinvestigation has been asked for by
Delegate Rodey and has been ordered,
and it is hoped by the time this
is made that there will
be at last good pavement in front

IMPROVING
RESERVOIR
Tunnel to Be Taken Out and the
Water Conducted Through
an Open Ditchway.
AREA TO Be ENLARGED
Consumers Using Too Much Water for
Irrigation Responsible for Exist
ing Conditions.

i written Exclusively for the New
Mexican).
B extensive improvements which will
insure to the residents of Santa Fe a
clear, pure and healthful water sup.
ply were inaugurated at the reser-
voir this morning by Manager W. H.
Friedman of the Santa Fe Water and
Light company, who came here re-
Gently to look after the interests of
the syndicate that controls the water
and electric light works.
1t is the purpose of Manager Fritch.
man tn take out the tunnel, and max
ing an open ditchway from the open
ing of the tunnel to it's mouth. At the
upper end of the large reservoir is a
dam which creates another reservoir
and by having an open ditchway all
the heavy rains will go through such
a course, instead of emptying itself
into the large reservoir.
The large reservoir will be emptied
as soon as circumstances permit and
after it has been thoroughly cleaned
Out it VIII be somewhat enlarged. 1t
will then be filled with good clean wa
ter. and with the open ditchway as a
water course there will be no more
dis ,:olored water supply except in the
event of extraordinary cloudbursts.
The delay incident to the thorough
cleaning out of the reservoir is best
explained by calling attention to the
tact that it would not be good policy
to empty it at the present time on ac-
count OF the drouth, and inasmuch
that in the event of large cutoff.
dependent solely on goodly dispen-
satlDn of rain to even partly refill it.
The existing condition as regarding
the city water supply is to a great ex-
tent occassioned by the consumers
themselves, in using so much water
a..s and night for irrigation purposes
The rules of the company permit
sprinkling for two hours, morning and
evening, as the flow of water in the
river is inadequate to supply greater
demand.
Even when all of the contemplated
are completed without
the consumers stop using such large
quantities of water for irrigation pur-
poses, the Improvements will not ma
terially benefit the city. The present
reservoir could be built twice ana ev-
en- three times its present capacity,
and without the waste was stopped,
the city would not have any clearer
water supply in the summer time
than at present, as the source of sup
ply is necessarily limited.
The present water supply is becom-
Ing clearer and better daily, as the re-
suit of filtering it through sand, which
has not only clariaed it to very
great extent already but has caused
the foul odor to disappear almost en-
tirelys Everything that is possible is
being done by Manager Friedman to
tide the consumers over during the
present exigency recurrence of
which will be hardly possible or prob
able after the contemplated improve
ments to the reservoir have been
made.

nance providing for the collection and
removal of garbage from the streets
alleys and residences was adopted
and will be effective thirty days from
date of passage and publication.
There was then presented an ordi
nance fixing the water rates and pro.
yiding for the regulation of the water
supply of the city.
There were some plain statements
of the case made by several of the
councilmen, and while they all stated
that they did not want to act arbitrar-
lily in the matter yet they thought
that the time Tor some decided action
had come. The Santa Fe Water and
Light company was represented by A.
B. Renehan, Esq, and Manager
Friedman. These gentlemen stated
that the matter should be most care
fully considered and that all the facts
in the case should be taken into con-
sideration. The company had in con-
temptation, they assured the council,
the expenditure of considerable sum
for the betterment of the service and
they thought, that a spirit of cnmpro-
mise should be shown and the whole
matter could be amicably arranged,
the interests of the city would be
served to the best advantage and at
the same time the company would not
be made to suffer from hasty action
that was not in justice to them The
question was finally referred to the
ordinance committee and with this
body the company will confer.
There were also complaints that the
location of certain street lights were
not suitable and these will be looked
after by the proper authorities.
On motion of Alderman Sena the
new Water street sewer was accepted
and the report of the mayor was or
dered filed with the city clerk. +
There being no other business the
council adjourned.
