City Water-Works
Only for. one hour.

As has been expected the Council
have had to take emphatic meas
ures in our water works matters
and have passed an ordinance for
bidding its use over an hour a day
just at the beginning of the real
hot weather when lawns & gardens
need it the most, all on account
Of the scarcity of water at the city
we'll, and this will continue until
new pump can be erected on
the other waterworks lot, or else
where. and deter others from put
ting IN the water on their lot.
Now having a most excellent
system, needing little repair ex
cept by our carelessness, with a
tank sufficient large for years to
come, and furnishing grand pres
sure when even half full, an en-
CINE and pump ready for work at
minutes notice, and our fire de
partment that has fally demonstra
ted its saving powers, all we need
is more water. We already have
the City lot where it is-then why
not utilize 1t and have this one of
the best systems N the state?
What we need is a new pump
house, engine and pump on the
city lots on south Fort street near
BIssing's, where abundance of the
sheet water is found at 19 feet;
10 inch pipe the 3 short blocks
to BIssing corner; an s inch pipe
the one. block on Normal avenue to
connect with the big pipe at Chest
mt, and our town would always
have abundance of water
At the same time let us Improve
our system by taking up the 2 inc
pipe and putting IN inch where
needed and putting down the 2lnc
where none now is, extending
the system, At the same time
buying and putting in a system of
water meters, same as III all cities,
so each consumer pays for what he
wants to use, and use all be wants
These improvements will cost
$500 to $1,000. Let our citizens
go in and vote $1,000 of the 6 pei
lcent, 90 year bonds, and it will be
the best investment the city ever
made.

On every rational anniversary, except
Memorial day, we deal with things OF
life, rather than Of death.
On Independence day we celebrate
the nations birth; on Washington and
Lincoln days the birth anniversaries OF
its immortal patriots: on Thanksgiving
day the fullness and blessings OF national
prosperity~fa n
On Memorial day alone we give pause
for tears: on this hallowed anniversary
we weave chaplets for the nations
glorious dead.
And how glorious they are-these
myriad sleeping soldiers-and how the
glory of their deeds magnifies with the
years!
We, the living, add not at all to their
immortality in history with our flowers,
our prayers and our tears. But we do
add something of priceless value to our
own lives by the customs of Memorial
day. We turn these sacred hours into
symphony OF patriotism.
The benedictions of to.day's flower.
strewn mounds is for the living; it is an
oasis in the storms of life; q leveling
occasion when the finer sentiments
creep into the souls of American men
and women.
And the nations cemeteries are today
the greatest school of patriotism for old
and yousg that we have. For true pa
triotism counts not death, If through
death tho nation shall find life aud
health.
No nation is in peril that has such a
Memorial day as we have. The living
will carry on the work that these heroes
gave their lives for.
