Report on water system by T. f.
McGilvary, consulting engineer, was
presented, digest of same is as follows:
Estimated supply needed, 100000
gallons per "a hours. Three sources of
supply have been considered, namely:
Burnside lake, Long lake and Conan
spring.
BURNSIDE LAKE.
An all land route to BURNSIDE lake
not considered feasible, as it is of too
great length and too much grading re-
'quired, would afsos ~reqtire pumping
plant at Burnside lake to force the
water over the hills to Ely.
A feasible route could be had from
BURNSIDE by laying pipes along creek
and across Long lake. a distance of
q 900 feet. estimated cost, including
brick well on bank of Long lake,
$50. 1924 90.
LONG LAKE.
Intake at distance of 1900 from
shore where 80 feet depth of water lis
obtained, at this depth water is per-
fectly calm and unaffected by wave
action. Estimated cost, including
brick we'll and filter, if necessary

CONAN SPRING,
This spring will only furnish 1000
gallons of.water per "a hours, there
fore can be considered only as source
uf drinking water. Cost of installa-
tion for use of drinking water, includ-
ing tank, well and gasoline pump,

Recommended that whichever of
these plans be adopted, a small reser-
voir be built on hill south of city, cap

In conclusion, Long lake supply be-
lieved to be the most feasible, esti-
mates said to be approximate and 10
per cent should be added to each for
engineering and incidentals.
Moved by Ellefsen. supported by
White that the report be accepted
and that the,city take steps to pro-
cure water supply from Long lake.
Carried.
