Council Being Urged To Build
Fountains at Artesian Wells
That Water May Be Used
PROVIDE SUPPLY FOR CITY
City and Water Is Being Taken
to the Lake by Sewers
Cost Would Be Small

The present condition of the city
water, caused by the continued storms
on the lake, has resulted in many COM
plants being filed, and the members of
the City Council are being urged to
revive the plan for utilizing the ar
tesian wells Of the city. AS it is not
thought practical to rebuild the pipe
systems for this water some of the peo-
pie interested are suggesting to the
Mayor and the Common Council mem
bers that they take steps to have
fountains erected at the different wells
so that the poole desiring to use the
artesian water may be able to get it
without too much trouble Many of
the people Of the city are now using
this water and carrying it long dist
ances. In few places in the city
connections with the wells are still
maintained and whole communities are
making use of single faucet. At
the same time hundreds Of gallons of
this water is running into the sewers
and into the lake every hour Of the
day and thousands Of people in the
city would be only too glad to use
this water if there was some convenient
way to get it. There are five of the
old artesian wells still running. One
of them is at the corner of Park and
Chicago streets, another at the corner
of Main and South streets, one near
ho T0o.,,, I
two on the North side Of the city. It
is claimed that the city with small
expenditure could erect fountains at
all of these wells which would open
them to the use of the people. Mayor
German has been taking the matter up
with members Of the council and it is
certain that many Of the Aldermen
favor the plan. The Out Door Art
Association recently took up the plan of
putting in a fountain at the corner
Of Main and South streets but the plan
has not as yet been carried out.
It is pretty certain that with the
present agitation the members of the
council would look favorably on aid
ing the Association in putting in such
fountain and it is thought that if
one of the fountains was put in there
would be an immediate demand for
them i'll other parts of the city. It
will be some time before the new intake
is in, and even if this brings the city
pure lake water there will be many
people who will prefer to use the ar
tesian water and the erection of the
fountains would be- approved by the
people.

holding an inquest and the matter was
Immediately dropped. The coroner on
the return said that the case was not

bers of the jury had a tired look on
their faces and they also declined to

The private dredging concerns that
have been doing the government work
in this district are naturally very much
elated at the decision of the war depart
ment that money appropriated for the
maintenance of harbors cannot be used
for the purchase Of sea going dredge
but their joy may be comparatively
short lived. What little influence in
opposition to the project they have
been able to exert in the different cities
in this section will have no weight in
Washington and there will undoubtedly
be an effort made by the engineer in
charge of the government work in this
district to secure an appropriation for
the purchase Of the dredge, as he is
evidently convinced that one is needed.
1t goes without saying that when the
time comes to ask Congress for the
appropriation that Major Judson s
plans will be backed up by the cities
to be benefited.

MANY GET PETITIONS
City Clerk Issues Score of Petitions
to Candidates for City Offices


There is great political activity in
the city and this fact is shown by the
number Of petitions that are being
issued to candidates by City Clerk Har-
rington. During the past two days
a score of these petitions have been
sent out and the fact that many are
being given to ward organizations
shows that the wards are being pretty
thoroughly organized. Few of the can
didates have applied for the petitions
in person but they have been issued
to the political leaders of the wards
and they are attending to the work. of
getting them into proper hands. Some
of the petitions are already in circula-
ton. The City Clerk has two hundred
petitions on hand but at the rate they
are going out he may be forced to
order new supply.
