the purpose OF considering ways and
means for putting In a system OF city
waterworks. A number OF PROPOSE.
lions we're considered and discarded
as impracticable. The proposition
which finally met with the favor Of all
and which comes nearly solving the all
important waterworks question than
anything yet suggested, is to pump
water from the springs on the old
Blackhurst ranch, about three miles
east OF town into reservoir situated
on the mountain side above, and
pipe 1t from there into the city. 1t Is
estimated that the Blackhurst Springs
have large enough flow to supply this
city with water for many years, the
difficulty being that the source is but
seventy feet above the town. BY
pumping the water into reservoir
on the mountain side this difficulty Is
removed. A committee was appoint.
ed to ascertain the cost OF installing
such plant.
