proved entirely satisfactory, both as
to the quantity and quality of the
water.
These eighteen wells are to pro-
duce on an average not less than
75O,0O0 gallons apiece during each
"A hours, which is considerably less
than the average output of the three
test wells now operating.
The wells are to be drilled 125
feet through hardpan to the coarse
gravel underneath, through which
flows an unending supply of pure Ice
cold water coming from the water
shed of Mount Tacoma.
They are to be "air lift wells" im-
perviOus to surface drainage, and are
to be scattered i'm tract of 1O5 acres,
on which the city holds an option, in
taken up by the successful bidder
and he is to pay for the land.
1t is desirable to have all of the
100 acres, so as to keep the vicinity
of the water plant free from en-
crOachment and give it a desirable
appearance for all time.
CleanIy Surroundings.
To insure CleanIy appearance and
do away with all distrust that the
water in the wells might possibly be
contaminated by surface drainage at
some future time, the 105 acres may
be transformed into park, which
will be not only useful to the city,
but ornamental.
The tract includes all of the high
lands abutting upon the valley in
which the wells are to be sunk.
A heavy concrete reservoir is to
be constructed in the tract, 200 feet
above the sea level. 1t is to be $50
feet wide by 40 feet long and 10
feet deep, and will have capacity
for 15,O0O,00O gallons of water.
Six or eight of the wells will be
sunk through the bottom of this res
ervOir and will throw their streams
of water, through air pressure, 80 or
40 feet up, thus keeping the water
in the reservoir thoroughly stirred up
all of the time. The other wells will
discharge into the reservOiI through
pipes connected with small stand
pipes, in which the air will be sepa-
rated from the water.
1t is estimated that the pumping
capacity of the wells viii be at least
I1,oOO,OOO gallons per DAY.
Pump by Air Pressure.
The pumping will be done by air
forced down into the wells under
heavy pressure and coming up a sep
arate tube, bringing the water with
it. Electricity will be the power en-
plOyed, as it will be much cheaper
than steam power. Motors of $50 and
200 horsepower will be used.
Not far from the reservoir will be
erected high service standpipe. 1t
will stand OH the elevated plateau
overlooking Wapato lake, 40 feet
above sea level, and will be 1875 feet
high. This will give sufficient pres
sure to send the water to every part
of Tacoma.
There will be four mains leading
down to the city from the reservoir
in different directions. 1t is proposed
to use two 24-inch pipes in pair in-
stead of one 48-inCh pipe, running
down towards distributing station Is.
Thus, If one pipe should burst, or be
closed for any purpose, the other
would be in use. preventing the cut
ting off of much water.
Two other standpipes will be re-

Complete New WaterWOrkS Can be Con-
StruCted and Cost Considerably Less
Than Half a MiIHOn of DOLarS--City
VIII Not Pay a Cent Down Nor Increase
It's Municipal Debt

The way is open for the people of
Tacoma to speedily secure and own
an excellent waterworlxs system, with
an abundant supply of pure water.
The plan proposed eliminates all
private water companies with their
extensive schemes for profits and
provides municipal waterwOrks ade-
quate for city of 100000 inhabi-
tants.
The entire system, including ma
chinery, three standpipes, reservoir
and distributing mains of adequate
size throughout the city, as estimated
by competent engineers, will cost be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 de-
peding upon the area covered by the
service.
THE CONTRACTOR WILL RE-
CEIVE, IN FULL PAYMENT FOR
THE COMPLETE INSTALLATION
OF THIS SYSTEM, WARRANTS IS
SUED BY THE CITY, WHICH WILL
NOT BE IN ANY SENSE A LIEN
UPON THE CITY EXCEPT AS
THEY ARE A LIEN UPON THE RE-
CEIPTS, OVER AND ABOVE THE
OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE
WATBRWORKS.
Not One Cent Down.
Not one cent need be paid down
by the city.
Warrants stunning ten years and
bearing B per cent interest would be
acceptable in form.
The new system, by prompt action
upon the part of the city authorities
and the people, who must vote to is
sue the warrants, can be installed and
placed in good working order within
twelve months from the date that the
contract is let.
Further, safeguarding the inter-
ests of the people, the contract for
this waterwOrks system must, of
course, be let under call for com
petitive bids, after full and complete
specifications have been published.
This prevents any possible over
charging by the successful bidder.
Will Pay for Itself.
The water rents can be so adjusted
as to be little, if any, higher than
the present scale of rents for dirty
Glover creek water. but will be suf-
fiCient not only to provide the inter-
est OH the warrants and a sinking
fund, but also to provide funds for
the purpose of paying off the 81 ,4SO,
600 flimfam debt entailed upon the
city by the purchase of the Clover
creek system in 1903.
The plan as outlined above by The
Times has been carefully gone over
by competent engineers, who will at
test its feasibility.
TO cinch the proposition, well
known citizen of Tacoma will make a
bid for the work upon the lines laid
down and will accept in payment the
Cjby's warrants for the full amount
due him. Necessarily, other bidders
desiring to do the work must like
wise take the warrants, thus Obviat-
ing the necessity for the marketing
of them by the municipality.
To Sink Eighteen Wells.
The plan In detail is as follows:
Eighteen more well are to be sunk
in South Tacoma, in the neighbOr-
hood of the three test wells recently
put down by the city, which have

standpipe at South Twentieth and j
street and the other new one to be
erected near the University of Puget
Sound. This will also be high SER
vice pipe and will be made Orna-

Low Cost for Power.
The city is now paying three-tenths
of a cent per MlOwatt hour for cur
rent to operate the pumps In the
three wells at South Tacoma. 1t Is
figured that, with competitive bid
ding for power between the SnoquaI-
mie Power company and the II. X.

ditiOnal 1S wells can be secured.

Old Note in Issue.

The possibility of collecting an
equity interest in an old note for
$4,000 is given as the basis for ap-
plication of Samuel Shear for letters
of administration upon the estate of
Dolores L. Green, who died January
/. 1898. The petitioner states that the
deceased was interested in a mortgage
executed by William c. Jones in New
York in 1884 to Alfred A. Green for
$4,000. Green assigned the mortgage
to his wife and she in turn assigned it
to one Thomas P. H. Whitelaw on
March 16, 1888, with the understand
ing that he was to proceed with a fore
closure. Whitelaw was to receive one
THIRD of the proceeds. but he never
foreclosed. and the purpose of the adj
ministration is to find out if any part
of the sum can be recovered. Shear,
the petitioner. is the husband of one
of the heirs.

NEW SUIT INSTITUTED
IN DUNCAN LITIGATION
Demands Damages
Because Sheriff Removed Furni-
ture Claimed by Mrs. Duncan.

The litigation in the civil and crimi-
nal courts, which commenced in June,
when Ada r. Duncan sued for divorce
from Benjamin B. Duncan, an en-
ploye of w. B. Cluff & Co., had an
other chapter added yesterday when
W. G. Duncan, brother of Benjamin,
sued Mrs. Benjamin B. Duncan and
Sheriff Curtis for $500 for the seizure
on July % of household furniture in
the plaintiffs home at 1901 Page
street.
Benjamin B. Duncan was away
when his wife sued for divorce on SEN
sational9 grounds of cruelty. Shortly
after jMd c. Duncan, her brother-in-
law, created a scene in the Duncan
home and the police were called to
eject him. The brother-in-law was ac-
cused of removing $1,000 worth of fur
niture belonging to Mrs. Duncan, and,
upon a proper bond being given, the
Sheriff proceeded to remove the house
hold goods from w. c. Duncan's home.
The plaintiff alleges that he was
damaged in the sum of 500 by rea-
son of time taken from his grocery
business in looking after the litigation
and that he expended $500 in defend
ing the suits, so adding the value of
the furniture, he wants judgment for
$500.
