WATER SYSTEM.


more thorough water system than
it has hitherto been their privi-
lege to enjoy. Many different
propositions have been submitted
to the city council by DR.. Farra
in behalf of the present water
company proposing to construct
more elaborate works, while
offers have come from parties
living at a distance to also con-
struet more complete systems.
A system which will give the
people pure water from the dis
tant mountain streams appears tc
be the rnnr,lar will of the people.
1t cexta&e st,u,d be magma ii.
NOUS 80 .'.l'rsr for tie city
couas:u -: ,e: he privilege tc
construct the better system to
Dr. Farra, all other things being
equal and the terms proposed
and the character and purity OF
the water being equal to that pro-
posed by others. This becomes
apparent when we consider that
the members of the old company
are our neiehbors and have their
works and property already here.
A new system OF water works,
however, is to be constructed
for the future and the character
and source Of supply of the water
should be pure and good enough
for fifty years hence. The peo-
pies interests are therefore great
er than the interest of any one
company and should be guarded
with scrutinizirg care and hdel-
ity. Why some of the many
propositions submitted by the
old company have not been
favored and accepted by the city
council is best known to them
selves. Valuable time is rapidly
passing away and great deal of
preplrty in many PARTS OF the
c,ty stands without water to pro-
lect it from fire, and something
should be done with as reason
able dispatch as practical to obtain
good results.
In approaching time when
valuable public houses are built,
architects are invited to submit
plans, specifications and figures
showing what they will build the
structure for. In this way the
pS-':~ ~h+":-~ a;ferent desions
ana s,ss,, : =. to choost from,
winch ~ = US leads 10 g 1t
istacC In a sin ar
way would it not be best for the
council to give ample notice in
viting plans, specifications and
bids from whomsoever may sub
NIT them, offering to construct
a system of water works giving
the source of supply, price and
all detail? The council can ap.
appoint a competent engineer to
examine the several plans and
offers and determine which is
best. In this way the council
can adopt the most desirable
offer and grant franchise and
enter into a contract for city
water under the plans accepted.
1t would seem like nothing short
OF supply from the purest
mountain system to be had
should be accepted. Nothing
short of this will meet the views
of the people unless it shall be
found impossible to get it.
