What They Found at Superior.

What They Found at Superior.
DR.. Sauerhering, health officer of
our city, and Chas. w. Nutter, city
engineer, went to Superior last
week to look over the water works
plant of that city. They found
that bay is formed north of the
city by long strip of land called
Minnesota Point, which extends
from the Minnesota shore and
which forms natural breakwater.
The city secured its water supply
from the lake beyond the peninsula,
but the action of the waters from
the st. Louis river and lake cur
rents, brought the sewerage of
Duluth into the vicinity of the in
take and the source of supply be-
came contaminated. The city then
drove 81 six-inch drive wells on Min
nesota Point. It was not long be-
fore it was discovered there was
growth of crenothix in the mains
and service pipes, and work of ex-
perimenting was commenced imme-
diately and Sc, 900 was spent in get
ting scientific men there and in
finding out what to do. Expert
ments we're conducted right along
until the right thing was found.
There was iron in the water to
about the same extent as IN Wau-
sau, and it had to be removed.
They finally got hold of Mr.. Houser,
an eminent chemist of New York,
and he told then what to do. He
had them build an aerating tower
near the pumping station and three
filtering beds. The water was
pumped from the wells on Mime
sofa Point into the tower and run
through one of the filtering beds
into a reservoir and from there
pumped into the mains. 1t effect
ually stopped the fungus growth,
and the city now has as pure water
as any city in the country, but the
cost was great. The beds alone
cost $3.50, 900, to say nothing of the
cost of experimenting, aerating
tower, reservoir, etc. Wausau is
pumping today the same amount
of water to its patrons as is Super
ior-2, 900, 900 gallons. Superior
has $3.50 inhabitants, but has
meters on its service pipes; Wausau
has $4,000 inhabitants, but has no
meters. If the water is to be fill
tered it will take the same amount
of filtering beds, unless meters are
put on to our service pipes. Our
water commission, which has been
in existence for a year past, could
not be composed of better men, and
they have gone at the work with a
determination of finding out the
correct thing to do and no doubt
they will succeed before spring.
The commission IS composed as fol-
lows E. C. Zimmerman, G, E.
Turner, Fred Genrich, A. F. Mar
quardt and John Farrell. They are
now having erected, miniature
filtering plant at the water works
station, to determine whether
aeration and liberation will do for
us what it did for Superior. The
city health officer has been given
the power to have this water
analysed wherever he deems it nee
essary, and no doubt some will be
sent to Mr.. Houser. Let US hope
that a solution of the problem has
been found, and that whatever the
cost it will be met and the work
completed as soon as possible next
season.

great. and the gestures were an adj
mirable accompaniment to the sound.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
That's more than the Sentinel can
say for its own oratory for the past
four or five years right here in Wiscon-
sin. That's, perhaps, because the
prophet is not without honor, save in
his own barn yard. Still the Sentiners
oratory is hot stuff. if it isn't sound.

Education.

Education is not certain amount of
raw knowledge which you have been
able to stow away. There are many
men full of facts who in a moments
conversation show they are without an
education. True, education is the awak-
ening Of the mind to see and enjoy-it
is giving it wings by which to mount
higher, see more clearly and enjoy
more fully.

SHALL THE CITY HAVE PURE
WATER OR ANOTHER CITY
HALL2

To this again came the usual shift
ty reply: "The PILOT has started
out to scare the mayor and CITY
council and is determined to do so. !"
But not one word as to the real
issue.
Again the PILOT asks the Herald
to give its readers, in a straightfor-
ward, honest way, it's ideas as to
whether Wausau, at this time
SHALL HAVE PURE WATER
OR ANOTHER CITY HALL?
Dissertations on municipal own
ershp, "Wausau Electric Light
company" or such harmless little
pleasantries as the "PILoT trying
to scare the mayor and city council
will not answer the burning ques-
ton which is now agitating the tax
payers of our city.
Investigations for securing a pure
water supply for our city, demon
strates that the cost is going to be
something enormous. Another city
hall means the expenditure of from
$50, 900 to $4,000 The people must
pay it. Pure water and given to
us right, which means for all time,
will cost as much, or more, than the
original investment of the Wausau
water works. So we cannot have
both pure water and another CITY
hall at this time. So which shall
it be, Mr.. Herald?
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1905-12-26
SHALL THE CITY HAVE PURE
b WATER OR ANOTHER CITY
HALL -?

To this the Herald took occasion
to read the riot act to the Wausau
Electric Light company, telling
what horrid company it was when
furnishing light for the city, that
the "lights were decidedly poor and
many of them were out a good part
of the time. That the city was pay
ing the private corporation twice
what its lights cost now; that it OBJ
Grated a miserable old, out of date
plant, etc. Melvin Weeks, the man
ager of the Electric Light company
can enlighten the Herald on those
charges and, perhaps, change it's
views. But the question of the
light furnished by the Electric Light
company several years ago is not
what is agitating the minds of the
people just now. Last week the
Pilot again propounded the all i'm
portant question to the Herald,

Which Shall it be, Pure Water or
Another City Hall?

The Wausau Herald's arguments
on the question as to whether the
people of our city shall have pure
water or another city hall, are at
tracing some attention for their
righteousness in evading the only
question in which the public has
any great amount of interest at
the present time. The PILOT tried
to pin the Herald down to the ques-
ton at issue viz:

in favor of municipal ownership but
favored the corporations. Again

its readers how it stood upon the
question,
