supply and that since then the

McGregor's Excuse.
Commissioners McGregor admit
'ted the static head was going
down in the wells, making it more
and more expensive to pump. and
he charged all the well troubles
to the fact that the pumping has
to eb shut down a cleoup tofg
to be shut down couple of hours
on the peak load. When this
contract for power was made the
well advocates said they would
not need this power as the wells
would gush so much water the
rest OF the day the city could oe
almost drowned. Now things
are different.
Scot3cd For Grandstand Play

McGregor to task for making a
grandstand speech to the women
at the wells the other day, blam-
Ing the council for the failure of
the wells.

'"The South Tacoma wells are

This is the statement of Chair
man Brand of the special water
committee of the council, whc

the well plant a success and who
put through the council the va
rious schemes in the last two
years that have cost the city a
couple of hundred thousand dol

success.

Brand says now he Is for the
gravity system. But instead of
going after this he wants to spend
another quarter of a million dol
lars first and bring in Maplewood

they will report in favor Of the

Then Lynn insisted on having
the gravity plans checked up by
Kelsey and the latter has been
setting on the plans ever since.
There are a lot of councilmen
now who are beginning to think
that the whole scheme was to re.

1t. An effort may be made in the
council tomorrow night to take
the project away from him. send
1t to City Engineer Ealeigh and
have him put Engineer Manley
from his office to work on it..
Manley made the original surveys
for Fuller and is thoroughly con-

Commissioner McGregor admitted
this. Brand said the wells had
been a continual disappointment.
First the city expected to get
100000 gallons with the orig
inal equipment. Instead 1t got
about 100000. Then the pow
err was doubled and it was ex-
pected to get 100000 or 49,
100000 but the city got only
100000 or 100000 at most.
Then the equipment was doubled
again and it was expected to get
from 100000 to 100000
gallons and again there was dis
appointment and the city gets
only about 100000 gallons.
