VIII Start Next Week and all the
Walks Will be Completed 3e-
fore Bad v Gather Sets in

The paving contractors are expect
ed to arrive in the city during the
early part Of next week, and will at
once start on their contract OF pay
ing the walks of the city. The bond
for the faithful performance Of the
contract and its guarantee for five
years has been filed with tie City
Clerk and accepted by the city, and
all is ready to begin the work on
their arrival
1t has not yet been fully decided by
the Mayor and City Engineer where
the work will start, but It IS believed
that Poplar street, which has been
placed by the city road force in per
feet drainage condition will be the
first to have the walks laid This
street is daily traversed, morning and
Afternoon, by teachers and school
children, and is one of the most used
streets in the city, and should be the
first to be worked on.
Every citizen IS now anxious to
see the work start at once and be
completed as soon as possible Little
delay should be experienced in the
work, extensive as is the undertak-
ing, and all the walks should be laid
before the bad weather of the fall
season sets in.

A TIMELY AND IMPORTANT
LETTER BY ENGINEER ALLEN
In Which is Set Forth
the Use and Abuse
of Our Water Works
System
Greenvile, Miss, May p. 1905
MR. CHAS. HALTER.

Greenvlle, Miss, May p, 1905
MR.. CHAS. HALTER,
President of the Young Mems
Business League >,
DEAR SIR:
In reply to your request for infor-
nation as to your water works, |
have to give you as follows;
The total capacity of theheTAOI
The total estimated capacity of the
plant per day is two and one-half
million gallons. and with this fact in
mind, you will see how far the pumps
are being crowded when ! tell you
that from March 20 to April I. we
pumped 23,6Io,ooo gallons, or at the
rate of 100000 gallons per day Tax
ing our population at 10000, we find
a consumption of I6S gallons per cap
tia per day, an amount that Is nearly
three times any legitimate consump
ton, based upon the records of other
cities, the average of which is about
sixty gallons per capita.
Our consumption has almost
doubled within the past two years,
owing, in my opinion, to the more
general use of our sewers, and
therefore more faucets and valves to
1aol- ac .-aII a- ~ +ba ,,~-a,-aI go
of water You must realize that all
the water passing into the sewers,
must be repumped into the river
thereby entaihng considerable extra
duty on the plant
| am sure that our people value
their water works very highly and
that they have no desire to willfully
destroy its efficiency, still they have
to give the matter the thought and
study necessary to convince them
that it is every mans duty to keep all
the fixtures and pipes on his place in
good and tight condition and to ad-
wise with his neighbor along this line
until each and every tax payer will
feel the same interest that they would
had they actual stock in some bust
ness enterprise
You have approximately 100000
invested in your water works and
sewers, and l am sure the people feel
that the plant should at least earn
reasonable interest on the invest
ment; how far this is from being the
case you will see when I tell you that
the revenues last year only exceeded
the cost of operation by about eight
hundred dollars
will be glad to furnish you any
additional information which Is in my
power and have to assure you that
my earnest hope is that you may be
able to impress upon our people the
importance OF taking proper care of
so valuable a utility.
Yours truly,
J s. ALLEN,
City Engineer.

1t is found that the labor problem

ident Halter said
Il wish to further call attention to
Mr.. Wilczinski's report upon the wa
ter proposition, to the Council
wherein will be found the alarming
fact that the expense OF operating the
plant is more than the revenue de-
rived from the use of its convenien-
ces, all things considered Herewith.
at is fact beyond dispute that the
plant should be not only self sustain
ing, but prove paying investment.
CAS- the matter now stands, there is
no restraint upon the use and waste
of the water. and such waste and use
are uneqaaI!y paid for by the citi-
zens.
AS a result of this condition, the
plant is now taxed to its utmost cap
acity, and the water pressure is not
sufficient to meet the demands of an
extensive fire.

The completion of the street paw

The extension of the Southern Rail
