Il is.3 For Pure Water.
A member Of Council said last night
that while the citizens generally We're
y clanoring for clear water, he thought
there would be opposition IN Council to
{ the proposed appropriation of $4,000 for
new pump house and engines. He
thought the present plant good for sew
{ eral years to come. and he could not see
the way to the expenditure of SO much
money at this time. ei
wv Another member Of Council was en-
thusiastie over the proposition to erect
complete plant with clear water for
the comparatively small sum Of $751; oO
I'VE will be compelled to have a new
plant soon. he said. land then opportu-
nifty may not present itself. when we
most need the plant. There is no telling
when o,ii. old machinery may break down.
ITS been in constant use for more than
fifteen years.
" 'tAnother proposition that is most pleas
ing to contemplate in my mind Is that
of increased revenue that Is possible from
new plant and clear water. Many cit
.izens do not use city water now, be-
cause of its condition. With the new
plant. the supply will always be suf-
ficient. and 1t may be In acceptable con-
sdltion. 8g
