OGDEN, Sept. s.-The special election
Tuesday, at which 1t is proposed TO vote
100000 bonds for the Improvements ol
Ogdens water works system, will prob
ably result in an overwhelming victory
for those who are working for the ad-
vancemept and the growth OF the mu-
nicipality.
Since Ogden City purchased the water
works system from private parties nearly
two years ago the property has been a
paying investment as shown by the regu-
lar reports OF the waterworks department
The system has been OF sufficient pro
portions for the needs OF the people OF
the city until the past few months when
the steady growth in population has de-
nnanded that the watermains be extended
INTO various sections OF the city where
buildings are going up. After the COM
pletion OF the mammoth new reservoir
the city authorities have come to the
conclusion that another conduit must he
huilt from Cold Water CANYON To the
reservoir and extended from the reser-
Volr 10 the distributing system. The first
named condult is necessary TO convey an
adqiuonal water supply TO the reservoir
anc the other pipe line 10 feed the dis
trlnutlre mains The imperative neces-
sity OF the latter conduit was fully real
l1ed month ago when through minor
accident the only conduit connecting with
the olstrihutlve system was put out OF
commission and as a result ogden City
ior nearly twelve hours was in the throes
OF a water famine and totally at the
mercy OF a fire, being absolutely with
out sufficient water To SNUFF a candle.
Needed improvements.
II is for the purpose of building these
condults, erecting dam In Cold Water
CANYON 10 intercept and conserve the
seepage now OF water now going 10 waste
and 10 make extensions OF watern1ains
INTO districts where property owners re-
fcse 10 erect homes unless water con-
nections are available,
Those few people who are opposing the |
Special Issue OF bonds are fearful that
a!ter the conduits are built there will not |
De sufficient water TO fill them There |
Goes not seem to be much strength In |
this contention as those connected with |
the waterworks department say that the |
additional supply of water received from
strong CANYON VIII be sufficient for |
some some Tune until other water rights are
acquired and piped 10 the reservoir
