for spring take particular notice of
the following suggestions. Maybe
you've never been to Bradley's for
your clothing there are still a few
who haven't. Maybe you never buy
clothes ready to wear Maybe you
think we can't fit you as we'll as your
tailor. To those we have this to say:
We want you to forget all previous
opinions of ready made clothing ard
come prepared to get some new ideas.
When you see our new spring suits
and top coats look over our hand
some suits the beautiful patterns
try on the coats and see how smart
and fine fitting they are. Then decide
for yourself whether it is worth while
to pay your tailor $40 more.

NEW RESERVOIR AT THE
PRESENT TIME.

The new pump at the city pump
station is again broken and the city is
depending upon the old pump for its
supply OF water. The old one is the
better and yesterday, in addition TO
supplying the city, the water was
raised seven inches. a few days ago
while repairs were being made on the
old pump the new one, lost several
inches in the reservoir
Vixen both pumps were working
about 100000 gallons were put into
the reservoir each day in addition to
supplying the city. The reservoir
now contains about seven feet of
water but viii make little gain until
the new pump is repaired. The T. ].
Aultman Pump Works is making the
patterns for the broken parts and they

than before.
The old tanks on Hamilton Hill Will
be kept there for storage purposes. In
case the main across the river should
break these tanks will supply the part
OF the city on the west side Of the
river for half a day. This water will
come from the new reservoir and viii
be filtered the same as the other sup
ply. These tanks win have automatic
valves TO shut or the water when they
are full SO that no water will be
wasted ~
