II. NJ. Hallock, the city council voted
that immediate action be taken to obtain
bids for pipe, and pump to force water
from Lake Champaign into the city water
mains, so that the existing serious condi-
lions resulting from the shortage Of city
water may be remeded. A committee
composed OF .,ldermen Folsom. Clark
and Larry was appointed. After In
vestigating the we'll known Silver pond
and Lake Champlaln propositions, the
committee decided that the supply CT
water should be obtained from the lake
II that supply Is not infected 1t was de-
cided after n careful investigation. that
amount Of water in Silver pond was too
small to warrant its being connected with
the reservoir The estimated cost of rum
ming the pipe line to the bay Is something
over 5000 The committee is Of the
opinion that there is ut present enough
water in the reservoir to last the city
IS DAYS. but recommends that the water
service be discontinued TO consumers

eight foot level Is reached Mr.. Kennedy
stated that In his estimation, It would
take 81 days TO get the proposed plant TO
operating on account OF the difficulty
which will be encount cred In purchasing
the necessary two miles of pipe. The
