WATER SUPPLY OF WISCONSIN
CITIES.

"The Sources of Water Supply in Wis
consin'' is the subject of an interesting
and important monograph in the en-
gineering series of the bulletins of the
University of Wisconsin prepared by
William G. Kirdhoffe. The paper de-
scribeS in detail the sources of water
supply of 100 Of the leading cities and
villages of Wisconsin. 1t treats of the
source of the water supply, and also of
such changes in the quality of the water
as are caused by pollution with sewage,
and of the various means adopted for
its publication MIR. Kirchoffer has
made special study of water supply,
and has had charge of the installation
of water work systems in a number of
Wisconsin cities to which he has been
called as consulting engineer. The
monograph shows that Of the 270 cities
and villages of Wisconsin, 100 have been
provided with public water supplies.
Of this number fifty are supplied with
artesian well water thirty with ground
water from shallow, open or driven wells
and springs, fourteen with lake water,
and twelve with river water. Of the
cities using river water, only six use it
for general supply, the others only for
fire protection or mechanical purposes.

least satisfactory as to both amount
and quality of water, although some of
them are not as poor as the worst of the
river and lake waters In regard to the
amount of water used from the various
sources, lake waters rank first, artesian
well water second, ground water third
and river water fourth AS to the
sufficiency of quantity, lake waters
rank first, river waters second, artesian
well waters third and ground waters
fourth.

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF WATER.
Plans Adopted and Appropriation
Made by Council

At the council meeting last Thursday
evening more work was accomplished
| in paving the way for better supply of
| city water than has been done in many
moons. Three reports were read-one
from the water commission, one from
the city health officer, Dr. Sauerhering,
and one by J. f. Tanning a hydraulic
engineer called here from Minneap-
oils to look over the situation.
DR.. Sauerhering gave history of the
water trouble and blamed the 2I4 it,
feeder as responsible in large measure
for the growth in the pipes and conse-
quent bad smell and taste which at
times are present. He told of some of
the experiments that had been made re-
Gently with drive wells and stated that
from one of these, water had been taken
at a depth of 134 it. and found to be all
most free from oxide of iron, which is
the substance feeding the growth in the
pipes. He believed the proper way to
remedy the evil would be to sink
number of drive wells near the main
well, the number to be Determined by the
supply of water secured. The city
engineer had made an estimate of the
cost and found that thirty six-inch
wells, which it is estimated will furnish
z, ,000, 600 gallons of water daily, can be
driven for S9, $50 The cost of a centrif-
ugal pump will be 81 900 making a net
cost Of $40, $50.
j. L. Tanning suggested that the
wells be driven north of the main well,
a "a inch pipe to carry the water from
them to the large well; also that the
large well have a cement bottom and
be used in the capacity OF reservoir,
the cost to be $11 800. A stand pipe on
East bill would give a pressure of 100
pounds per square inch, he said, and
additional fire pressure. A large reser-
voir on the hill, such as had been sug-
gested would Increase the cost of the
department $500. yearly He favored
installing $4,000 gallon steel tank on
the hill at cost of no and a large
main to be laid from the pumping sta
ton to the reservoir, the cost of mains
and pump to be $4,000. After this
work is done he favors laying large
main through the eastern section of the
city, ultimately to connect with the
main on Grand Ave. Also one to the
east end of Williams street the cost of
these to be S12, 800 Mr. Tanning stated
that with this system there would be
ample pressure for 100000 gallons
daily or 200 gallons for each person.
Most cities of this size, he said, could
supply but 80 gallons per person. He
recommended that the meter system be
installed as saving of water, which
would reduce pumping.
1t was moved that the water commits
sion be authorized to go ahead with the
putting in of the drive Wells. This
motion was carried by a vote of 13 to g.
1t was a source of much disappoint-
ment to those who had worked so hard
Council did not give the commission
authority to build the reservoir on east
hill and the large mains to connect at
Grand avenue 1t is thought the mem
bers of the Council did not fully under
stand the recommendation made, so a
special meeting is called for this even
ing to act upon the proposition.

CITY COUNCIL.

There being so few members of the
city council present for the regular
meeting last Tuesday evening an
adjournment was taken to Thursday
evening. On the latter evening the
following business was transacted:
Mrs. Mary Williams asked for the
cancellation of her water tax because
she cannot pay it. Referred to com
mittee on poor.
The Tuesday Musical club petitioned
the council for a refund of S636 taxes
paid on piano which under the law is
exempt The petition was granted.
John Remmel was granted a license
to conduct saloon at 1902 Third street.
The board of public works announced
that it had found that the cost of new
street sprinklers to the city would be
1894 each, but that JOS Gamble had
offered his three sprinklers to the city
for 1875 and recommended that Mr.
CANDLES offer be accepted. The coun-
Gil authorized the committee to pur-
chase Mr.. CANDLES outfit. This will
give the city total of six and ought to
be sufficient to supply sprinkling to all
parts of the city.
The United States Leather Co. pre-
sented petition asking that fire
alarm box be placed in the yards of its
plant, it to pay the cost of the alarm
box. The petition was granted.
The committee on macad amizing rec
commended that the following thorough
fares be macadamized during the com
ing season, the macadam to be laid at
a width of thirty feet: Warren street,
from Third to Sixth Fulton, from Third
to Ninth; Fifth, from Washington to
g. M. q ST. p. tracks; Third Ave, from
Clark to Cedar; Second Ave, from
Clark to Spruce; Harrison Blvd. Two
streets, Second, from jackson to
Washington, and Jackson from
First to Third, are to be macadamized
forty feet wide.
The mayor appointed Aldermen
Muenchow, Kickbusch and Hirsch as a
board of canvassers to canvas the result
of election.
The water commission submitted
several reports, the substance of which
can be found elsewhere.

Moncena Dunn, of Marshfield, in
veLtor of the Dunn pocket ballot, the
adoption of which was voted on at the
election last Tuesday, gives as his be-
lief the reason for its defeat to be that
people got it mixed up with the primary
election. The people have had too
much reform of late years, and where
they do not understand question they
will vote mo" Mr.. Dunn says:
There are at least thousand more
or less prominent men in the state who
are now convinced that the Dunn
system of balloting is the right one and
that any ballot which has to be marked
with pencil is, unsafe. Eighteen
months ago there was only one man
pushing this ballot, now there are men
in every town and precinct who under
stand and appreciate its advantages.
1t usually takes ten years to effect any
reform, bnt Judging from the present
outlook it will require but short time
to work this one. At any rate the next
legislature will have to consider this
matter again and there will be some
demand for it from the people this
time"
