proper conduits, and

have become worn out and obsolete
and wholly inadequate to the needs
of the city and its inhabitants. and
! Whereas the City Council deems
| it imperatively necessary that n new
system of water works for fire and
domestic purposes adequate to the
needs of the city and its inhabitants
should be constructed at once and

system of water works as will have
its source in a mountain stream and
as win bring to the city and dlstrib-
ute therein an adequate supply of
