J. w. Cavanaush Gives Exhaustive Re-
port on Situation-voters Have
Chance TO Ballot.

The city council is in favor of the
installation of mechanical filter plant
of 6,000.0 0Ggallon capacity. and for
NAL action to this effect will probably
be taken at the regular session of the
council next Monday. The aldermen,
in committee of the whole, last even
ing, on a resolution by Alderman
Blochlinger, voted unanimously 10
make this report to the regular ses-
sion, the resolution also containing in
structions to the city clerk to secure
plans and specifications from the diff
ferent contractors who construct filter
plants.
Alderman Blocblinger's resolution
opened the discussion of the filter
project, and lively argument follow
ed its presentation. Alderman Smith
asked for information on the condi-
tiop of the mains, with view to learn
ing whether, in case the filter is in
stalled, and greater pressure is pro-
vided as result, the mains will be
adequate TO stand This high pressure.
Superintendent Gayauaugh. of the
waterworks Department, in response,
went into the whole situation in an
exhaustive MANNER showing the con
dition of the mains, and making com
parsons between municipal and cor

does not oppose the filter plant project,
but wants to secure a more general ex-
preston of the voters.
Who said "Sccrct:"
When the discussion had proceeded
to this point, Alderman EIlinwood pro
tested that he had understood that the
committee meeting would be a secret
session, and he indicated surprise that
the meeting was open and was attend
ed by number of citizens and the
newspaper representatives. At the
word secret nearly every alderman in
the room was on his feet demanding
that Alderman Ellinwood explain at
once who it was had told him that
any business in connection with the
pump was to be secret. Alderman
Blochlinger declared that it was a
charge he resented and demanded
that the alderman ueXplain, and state
who had told him. Alderman Film
wood became confused. and answered
that he had been Told" but Aldermen
Blochlinger, Hoizhammer and others
were not to be put off in this way, and
demanded more definite statement.
Finally Alderman Ellinwood said that
the woman who does the cleaning in
the city hall had given him that i'm
preston. He was very promptly in
formed by Alderman Blochlinger that
he for one would not participate in
any secret sessions on the filter prop
osition. and Alderman Holzhammer
wanted to know whether Alderman Ell
linwood would attend a meeting if it
was secret. IF you would he added
''yCu have not my views. | would not
attend such meeting, and would have
nothing 10 do with such plan"
Alderman EllinwOod, seeing that he
was practically alone in the opinion
that the meeting should be secret.
mumbled an apology, and made his
stock excuse that he merely wanted
TO know
Where Money Comes From.
where does the money for the fill
ter come from?' asked Alderman
Smith, when the storm had subsidized.
He was informed that the waterworks
fund will meet the cost, and that there
will be no additional cost to the tax
payers in general. or water users.
The funds of the waterworks depart,
ment are available for no other pur.
pose than for the improvement and
maintenance of the Waterworks de-
partment, and it is stated that the
revenues are sufficient to easily care
for the financial end of the filter plant

the city own the plant, and are making
the investments. The plant is worth
great sums of money, and yet it was
installed at cost to the consumer of

of water alone in cities where the
plant is owned by corporations
Cat Dat Politics.
Mr.. Cavanaugh i'll discussing the
municipal VS.. corporation owned plants
declared that if the Rock Island wa
terworks were put on an absolutely
non-partisan basis, and run as the
plant in Davenport is, he would guar
antee to reduce the annual cost $10,-
coo. Cut out politics, and I'll show
you an imme6Iate difference" He held
the council, present and past, respon-
sible for the entire situation.
Responding to an inquiry from Aid
ermaE Tuckis, the superintendent
stated that 5000, 00o-galIon filter will
be adequate for 10 years. He said ii
is his idea that the city should install
a plant with the mechanical apparatus
and pipes adequate for filtering TO-
100000 gallons daily, but with sedi-
mentation basins for 100000 gallons
filtration. The city should, however
secure land, and he prepared to in.
stall later the necessary sedimentation
beds for plant of 100000 to $4,000,
000 capacity. The mechanical part al
the start should be equal to the tasl
Iof a 12,000,o00 to 15,000,000 output
He explained that the plans should be
asked for from the different .compa
mics. and explained the method of Sc
curing the plans and specifications in
detail,
