SUPPLY At OUR DOORS, WHY

Over the East River mountain.
within two and half miles of Blue
field into Laurel Creek can be found
a practically unlimited supply of the
purest water that flows. as can be
proved by the oldest citizens of the
city and county. All that Is required
to make this supply available for the
city use is to pump from the source
anywhere in the Laurel Creek Valley
TO the top of the East River noun
tain. gravity will from there land the
water In our tanks and from thence
into the city mains. IL is only about
one and a half miles to pump the
water TO the ridge top, and an extern
sion of less than a mile from the
present mains at Beaver Pond viii
accomplish the whole thing, thus as
surfing for Bluefeld an absolutely
pure supply OF water uncontaminated
and without any risk of II ever be-
ing contaminated.

small cost and re-installed at the new
source.
