Proposed Plans for Municipal Water System to Give
 a High Pressure
Eight-Inch Distributing Main to be Tapped by Four-lnch and Six-lnch LateraIs-Sixty-F Fire Hydrants to be Located-Bond Election to be Called Soon.

When the El Centro Board of City Trustees meets next Tuesday night it is expected that enough members will be back from their summer vaca- tions to adopt by the required vote the ordinance calling election on a proposed bond issue for the acquiring of a municipal water system.
 As rapidly as possible the legal steps will be taken, and 1t is hoped that the actual work of construction may be ill progress by the first of the new year.
 The project includes the sinking of a test well at point north of Rail- road Avenue and between Fifth street and the Southern Pacific railroad, in the immediate vicinity of the present settling basins. This we'll is to have diameter of twelve inches at 1000 feet, if it proves necessary to go so far to get water
 The general plans made by City Engineer H. B. Pearson, Jr., are for d steel tank and tower 100 feet high to be located at the north end of Fifth street. The tank is to have a capacity of 125,0O0 gallons and will glve a pressure of forty pounds to the square inch.
 The distributing system proposed, and which will doubtless be adopted by the City Trustees, provides for all eight-inch main connecting with this tank and running south on Fifth street to the alley between Brighton avenue and Orange street. From this four- inch laterals are to extend through each alley east and west, except the alleys either side of Main street, and these are to have siX-inch laterals | These two siX-inch laterals are to con verge at Fourth and Main streets and to run east on Main street 10 Third street and north on Third street to Commercial and thence to Fifth street, connecting with the eight-inc main. This distributing system will cover practically all of the townsite west of the Southern Pacific railroad, and il will also extend to the industrial district east of these tracks. A later al will also extend to the Central Hospital, on Sixth street.
 The plans also call for the location of fifty-four fire hydrants located in all sections covered by the distrlbut 1 ing system.
 At least two cement settling basins will be installed, and it is proposed tc have these arranged so that they may be readily flushed out. A system oi chemically treating the water so as to secure the settling of sediment vii probably be adopted.

The old Guard" papers so-called

which their critics of the sanctimO-
NOUS bawl and the amen corner
sniffle are wholly deficient They
put loyalty to party principles,
which is adherence to the best in
terest of the people, above men
factions, prejudice and self inter-
est. They keep their noses in no
mans manure pile and if a friend
does seeming wrong, have both the
decency and the courage to criticize
him as they would a. foe. For
that reason they are the voice OF
the genuine Democracy of the state.
If any of the prayermeeting organs
have ever criticized their paragon
and pet for his chronic and long
standing alliance with Republicans
it is not of record.-Mercury.
