 Gentlemen: In the summer of 1902 this company. at the urgent request of your honorable board, agreed to install at onee nltration plants for both water supplies, agreeing to have the filter plant, Altering t'lve Mile creek water, completed by Octo- Der l. 1903, and agreeing to have the filter plant Altering Cahaba water completed by April 1. 1904 The North Birmingham filter plant was completed September 1, l9O3 and has been operated continuously since that date, and the company is bend. ing every effort by working both day and night shifts. to complete the Cahaba filter plant at the time stated.
 Aside from the construction work on Altering plants, this company has in the last two years increased it's pumping ca pacity at the rate of II 100000 gallons per day of twenty-fcur hours, making an available pumping capacity at this date of over 30.000. GOO gallons per day of twen- ty-four hours. The combined capacity of the two Altering plants when completed will be at the rate of 200O0,O0O gallons per day of twenty-four hours. and since the daily average pumpage for 1903 was less than 10,000,o00 gallons, you will appreciate the fact that the company is aiming to keep the capacity of it's plant in advance of the growth of the city. "Aside from the improvements above outlined the company has from year to year carried out, of its own accord. and without demand on the part of the city. each and every suggestion as regards pipe line distribution capacity, that has been made by insurance experts, who have visited the city from time to time. and inspected the water works system.
 Aside from the improvements outlined above the Birmingham Water Works company has carried out every suggestion made to it by the Jefferson County Sani- tary commission. which work alone has involved the expenditure of many thous- ands of dollars. When it is stated that April of this year the city of Birming- nam Will nave Tn operation one or me three largest filtration plants in the Unit ed States. better Idea can be had of the enormous investment that has been made to protect the water from accidental pol lution
 "Without demand from the city the water company has also constructed a separate water works system to supply the residences located on the higher ele- vations of the South Highlands.
 The water company invites each and every member of your honorable body to join in an inspection of the pumping sta tions, reservoirs. and Altering plants, and suggests that you name a time for such an inspection. the water company to pro- vide the necessary conveyances.
 Trusting that you will take advantage of this opportunity to acauaint your selves with the nature of the improve ments to the water system. completed and about to be completed l am,
 Yours very truly.
