A Pumping Station

Said . web known business

proposed water meters:
"The city authorities are max.
ing big mistake in putting in
water meters. It will cost them
many Thousands of dollars, and il
only 3 temporary makeshift 81
that.
"For $40, 900 or less they could
erect a pumping station and take
water from the Finley creek, q
stream of perfectly pure water,
The pump would be in use only
three or four months . year,
whereas the meters call for one
more city employed the year round,
with the Flnlay creek they
would have water enough for q
city of $4,000 people, and would
need no meters. There would be
water for everyone, and the purest
kind. The reservoir could be
cleaned 90 often 90 desired and
then pumped full again.
"There are no engineering diff.
fculties in the way, / believe, and
by the use of the pumping station
the water problem il solved fol-
many years to come. The meters
are O makeshift and IN expensive
