WATER SYSTEM
MUST Be HAD

Ellensburg has long since passed
her village days and she no longer
want to plan in village ways.
Do you remember last year that
there was scarcity of water in this
city, and that too with thousand
less consumers than there will be
the coming summer?
To be down right frank about
the matter, don't you honestly and
candidly believe that of all things
desired in Ellensburg, first class
water system is needed worst of all?
If an ample supply of water is
not secured, will it not be the
means of causing many to leave the
city, the lawns and street parkings
to dry up" and possibly an cpl
demic of fever?
If the city does not care or neg
lects to provide for an adequate wa
ter system, is it not possible to or
ganize a stock company, incorpo-
rate and sell shares of stock and
the proceeds to build and equip
4 moeern plant?
The water can be secured beyond
a question of doubt.
The demand for water creates it.
self.
The city could possibly arrange
to take over the plant within due
time by buying up the stock of the
individual members of the corpora
ton. 1t might also be induced to
buy one-fourth of the stock at the
start. No one.individual or corpo-
ration should however, be allowed
to own a controlling interest.
From what The Dawn is able to
gather, it is thoroughly satisfied
that it is possible to organize such
a company and start the good work
in very short time.
A modern plant, one that will
not only answer present demands,
but for many years to come could
perhaps be constructed for 5000,
900.
Such plant might not be pay
ing investment to stockholders for
few months or even years. that is,
not pay more than legal interest.

PAVEMENT

The competitors of the Btu
lithic' or Warren's Bituminous
Macadam Pavement, endeavor to
make a point against it by stating
it is not laid on a concrete founda-
ton. 1t is not laid on hydraulic
concrete, but is laid on a base of
crushed stone and bituminOus
cement, which is in actual use and
still in good condition under pave
ments laid in the city of Washing
ton thirty years ago. The fact is
that hydraulic concrete in point of
durability is an element of weak
ness of the ordinary asphalt pave
nent for the reason that it does
not unite to the surface and pro-
vides a line of separation between
the foundation and surface, the
tendency of which is to cause the
asphalt to slip" or roll'' on the
foundation under the rolling effect
or traffic.
1t is a very common thing to
see asphalt pavements which have
rolled into waves or pillows and on
examination to find that the as
phalt has slipped on the concrete
to such an extent that the upper
surface of the concrete and the
lower surface of the asphalt have
become polished and smoothe as
glass. To overcome this a bin
der course of fine stone and as
phalt laid between the concrete
base and asphalt surface has been
used during the past few years.
This binder course only partially
overcomes the slipping and opens a
new element Of weakness. The
binder is no more watertight than
basket and provides a course be-
tween the foundation and asphalt
surface which easily holds any
moisture which works into the
pavement from above or below and
permits the moisture to be taken
up by the semiporous asphalt sur
face, causing the same to rot
The btuminous foundation of
the Btulithic' pavement provides
a rough surface of the same char
acter as the Bitulithic' wearing
surface, so that under pressure of
15-ton roller used, the foundation
and surface become thoroughly
knit together with no line of cleav
age or separation between the
two, so that slipping or rolling Of
the surface on the base is impossi

A VERY COMMON
MISTAKE IS MADE

There are great many people
who seem to think it is cheaper to
borrow the local paper than to
subscribe for it. No doubt there
are some like that in this city and
in your neighborhood. To all
such we would say: Would it not
save you money in the end if you
subscribe for yourself? Think of
the time you waste in borrowing
The Dawn from your neighbor.
Think of the helpful articles you
miss. We are glad that you think
enough of it to borrow it. More
than that, remember that every
added subscriber encourages the
editor and helps to make The
Dawn better for everybody. The
Dawn does lot of things for you,
when you come to think of it.
You can we'll afford to show your
appreciation by adding your name
to the subscription list. Suppose

BILE. Except that we add the btu
minouS cement to the foundation it
is the same as the foundation in
the regular macadam pavement.
No one ever heard of a properly
laid macadam pavement on we'll
rolled subsoil failing because of
settlement of the foundation. The
weakness of the ordinary macadam
is in the surface and not the foun-
dation.
Regarding the foundation used
under our Bitulithic" pavement
Prof. A. w. Dow. Inspector of AS
phalt and Clements of the U. S
Government at Washington. says:
The Massachusetts avenue,
Washington, pavement, which is
now % years old, was laid on a
bituminous foundation, as is also
our oldest asphalt pavement, on
Vermont avenue, and numbers of
our Oldest pavements. The btu
minous foundations are markedly
superior for bituminous pavement
to the concrete base.
To show what the pavement will
stand in the way Of heavy loads,
we quote from a letter from Mr..
l.. Cameron Corson, City Engineer
of Norristown, Pa, where over SIS,
600 50. yds. of Bitulithic pavement
is in use, under date of Feb. 10,
1908, as follows:

which speaks very we'll of your

ment laid today and sincerely wish
the promoters every success. This
truck with girder drawn by 10
horses was photographed. -
Another point. In the asphalt
pavement laid on concrete founda
tons the asphalt surface has so
little inherent stability or strength
that the asphalt, whatever the
thickness may be, does not provide
conditions insuring the full wear
OF the thickness of asphalt. This
is when the surface wears down to
say one inch in thickness, the

SO arrange set of headgates that
would do away with spending a

strength to withstand the pressure
of traffic and breaks into holes.
With an original thickness of one
and one.half inches, therefore, the
life of pavement is represented by
wear of only about one half inch.
With a bituminous base, how
ever, the surface and base being
united and the surface pressed into
the base, the entire thickness of
surface will wear evenly, and after
worn to the base it will still pro-
vide further wearing qualities.
This is not a theory, but is we'll
borne out by the experience in
Washington with bituminous base
