mate we believe they are using from
one.thlrd to one-half of all the water
pumped. From the elevators the city
receives $4,000 each year, while
from water used in other ways the
city receives S2G,0O0.OO. II the city had
surplus water to give away in this
manner, this way of disposlng of it
might be considered advisable, but un.
der The present circumstances We con-
slider it a great mistake.
Nov, your water committee would
recommend that,
First, There be close inspection
made of all the spigots and closets
wherever water is used in the city by
Officers who can compel necessary re-
pairs and stoppage Of leaks.
see0nd-That a practical test be
made to ascertain the amount that is
used by the hydrulic elevators now
in iEe That the hydraulic elevators
be metered or that the owners be re-
quired to put in pumps and use the
water over and over again, or equip
the elevator with some other power.
Thlrd-That new pump and boiler
same size as we have. be bought and
placed in the pumping station. This
pump Installed with necessary changes
in pump house would cost about $4,000,
We make this third recommendation
as It would give us one pump in re-
serve should anything break, or all
three pumps could be run at one tine
at slower speed and thereby avoid the
heavy wear and great many breaks
in the pumps, and would increase our
water capacity to a certain extent,

TEXAS SOLID FOB, ROOSEVELT
friend Of the Weston Independent
writes a very interesting letter to that
paper fTomFTexas. 1t has several good
points which we think worth reproduc'
Ing as follows:
The Independent and the stockman
are the only religious papers l take;
the Others are Of the Joe Bailey sort
and some;ot them have so much white:
wash on. them that can scarcely see
tie reading. But Texas is solid for
Rooseyeit. j have found but one Re-
publican here who has Topped and
he saysby way of reason that when
the Democrats we're running this coun'
tryahe could hire aands for eight dol
lars 4 month, and now they cost him
twenty-five and thirty, and he has trou'
Sic 10 get his farming done at that.
Vas weston the day that Andy sold
those two big horses you mentioned
the other week, and l bought a sorrei

for three and quarter cents a pound
That was about the time Lot and MI

sent a load east and the man who got
them sent back for money to pay the
freight. Lot wired him that he didn't
have any money, hut he could send

That is certainly sounding the death

such a thing possible and We are not
