SPRINGS. CITY WATER CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
Suggested that Springs South of
500 Tracks Solution of
Water Question.

The vexed question of how to I'M
prove the city water service stares.the
people of Ladysmith in the face. The
question of how to accomplish this has
caused much discussion for several
months, and it is still unsettled. At a
recent meeting of the city council fav-
orable consideration was given to the
proposition to put in a filter and use
river water. To this solution objec-
tion is raised against the use of river
water whether filtered or not. Wheth-
er the objection to the use of river
water is we'll founded or not, it is
nevertheless fact that many people
are prejudiced in the matter. Deepen
ing the drilled well carries with it doubt
as to final success.
The suggestion has been made and
given favorable consideration by many
that the proper solution 70 the water
question lies in utilizing the springs
south of the 500 tracks now owned by
Mr.. Soule. These springs are large and
the water is pure and cold, clear as
crystal. Once connected with the
water mains the city would have as
perfect water as could be asked There
are several springs of which one would
answer the ordinary demands of the
city. In connection with the PROPOSE
tion to use these springs, it has been
said that they are liable to fail when
the country is cleared up, but inspec-
tion shows that, they come from deep
seated veins with flow unaccountable
on any theory Of being surface springs.
Besides, the surrounding area is Burn
ed over land where drainage is good
ard Evaporation speedy.
If these springs are permanent, to
utilize them for city service would
mean to have an admirable Water SER
vice.
There is an element of cost, but it is
an element that can be ascertained
while an effort to overcome the diff
culties at the present station is spec
ulation.
While the springs are long distance
from the business section, it may be
said that they are near two of the
largest Institutions in the city that at
present have no protection from the
city, and that, they are also in the
natural factory section of the city.
The city Wants factories and can af-
ford to do something in the way of
assurance of fire protection.
The permanence Of the springs is not
very serious consideration for at
the present time the wells are not an
available asset in the water system,
and if we'll were final necessity, it
might be that it could be secured at
the lower location. !"
But the question is up to the council
and citizens. It is their issue, and the
News confines itself to offering sug
gestions for consideration.

GETTING GOOD WATER.
The City Council will Proceed to so
Improve it as to Yield an
Income

/, The city council has for some time
had under consideration the matter of
Improving the water service SO as to
have it yield an income. The members
of the council take the position that
with an expensive water system plant,
it should be made to yield an income
and that this condition warrants such
further expenditure an may be neces-
sary to secure water that will be SER
viceable for household use. Two pro-
positions present themselves. First,
drilling the present well deep enough
to secure good water. Second, to put
in filter and connect with the river.
Incorporation to deepen the drilled
well possesses SO many elements Of
speculation as to appear to some of the
members of the council to be objection
able. In the first place, it is thought
doubtful if the well can &c drilled
through the granite where Work was
stopped except at great expense. If
this were done, the next question is
whether or not the water would be
good, on which point the probabilities
are favorable. The third question is
whether water in sufficient volume to
supply the city's wants would be secur-
ed. All these questions stand against
deepening the well now in Use.
On the othea hand, to connect with
the river has the objection that is always
raised against the use of river water.
However many Of the cities are using
river water which analysis shows to be
serviceable when we'll filtered. For
many years in the future the water of
the Flambeau will be much better than
that of most rivers and to that extent
the objection to it's use is reduced.
The council is deSirous of doing what
within reasonable expenditure and cer>
tainty of results viii So improve the
water service as to cause it's general
use and produce an income to the city.
It is reported that suitable filter and
connections will cost about 81, 900.
