Grated and maintained its own sys-
TEN of water works taking water

have become worn out and obsolete
and wholly inadequate TO the needs

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 mountain stream and

ute therein an adequate supply oi
sure mountain water suitable to the
