WATER STEADILY LOWERS
The Lessenins Of the Water in the
Test Wells Has Been Marked During
the Last Few Days-Attorney for
George w. LaPlant Makes an Effort

The test of the city wells ended with

Burnham, issued this morning the
committee which has been in charge

outflow OF water from above the dam.
The committee shut off the water by
lowering the gates as directed. Judge
Burnham's order was issued after the
attorney who is representing Mr.. La
Plant and others made an effort to
have the test continued

attorney who is ostensibly represent

first asked that the test be continued.
His claim was that it had been un-
fair and that the city had wasted wa
ter, and emptied the reservoir to clean
it for the purpose OF pumping more
water from the wells that the test
might show more favorable for the
city. Those representing the city
have been willing to call off the test
in accordance with the claim that the
agreement of both parties said it
should end on January l. The COM
mittee, L. C. Abbott and c. T. LaPlant,
has been ready to call halt any time
Judge Burnham SO directed.
Water Gradually Lowers.
Whether the test has been fair or
unfair; whether the conditions have
been right or otherwise, and whether
wanton waste or natural agencies have
been at work, the facts are that the
water in the test wells and also at the
pumping station, has been slowly but
surely going down. Especially has this
been the case during recent days, or
since the mill race, which carries the
water above the dam away, has been
deepened. This was done last week.
and since then the water In the test
wells has gone down on an average OF
about an inch a day, while the water
of the river, at the bridge, has lowered
about a third more. The greatest les

JURY IS STOPPED
Temporary Injunction Is Issued Re.
straining the sheriff's Jury From
Appraisns the Iowa River Dam for
the Use of the city-Want Injunc.
ton Made Perm anent.

The work cut out for the sheriff's
jury, which was to have gone to the
Center street bridge over the Iowa
river to appraise the value of the dam
IL condemned by the city, was
stopped before it was even be-
gun. The attorney representing
George W. LaPlant secured a tempor-
airy injunction this morning, which re-
strains the jury from proceeding with
the appraising and thereby In
jected another complication in the dam
cases.
Judge Burnham granted the injunc-
ton, which, upon hearing, Is asked to
be made permanent, after Mr.. LaPlant
had filed a bond for $1,000 with the
clerk OF courts. The alleged grounds
on which the injunction was secured
are that the law gives the city no
authority to condemn property for the
purpose set forth; that the dam is not
necessary for the operation of the
city's water system, and that the city
is acting in behalf of individuals and
not for the municipality. No time has
been set for the hearing, hut the app
plication for the injunction was filed
for the March term Of the district
court.

Water Dangerously Low.

Water Dangerously Low.
The citys water supply is dangerously
low and as low. according to Chief
Engineer Madsen. as the city can al
low it to go with safety. Mr.. Madsen
says that should large fire break out
the supply would be in imminent dan
ger of being exhausted regardless of
the 100000 gallons held in reserve in
the reservoir. Before the tests began
the low pressure pumps were drawing
water which stood above the suction
valves at the pumping station to a
depth of over five feet. This had been
reduced up to Tuesday to a little more
than two feet. The greater lowering
at the pumps is accounted for the :ea-
son that there the. water is sucked up
and while gravity alone replaces that
taken, the supply there is kept lower
than at the wells.
