ROMNEY WANTS
WATER SUPPLY
Engineer T. c. Hatton Recommends
Spring in Gap AS The
Source.

Romney, w. Va, Sept 8.-A meet
ing OF citizens OF Romney, w. Va, was
held in the court house to hear the
report of Engineer T. c. Hutton, OF
Wilmington, Del, who was employed
by the town council to make re-
port on his investigation Of water
supply. He recommended large
spring in the gap. At that place there
was an output of 293, 600 gallons every
"a hours, making the supply am
ply large. From this point the p'stA-
would have to be pumped 10 reser-
voir at Romney. The water could be
brought here at a cost of about $751;
coo, and the supply was soft and pure,
The cost of piping the town, prov
ing a reservoir etc, womb be about
$4,000, and in addition the cost OF
maintaining pumping station would
have to be taken into consideration
This source Of supply he recommend
ed. Mr.. Hatton stated that any large
town would be CHAD to get the supply
from a river like the South Branch
using a filter, but that most small
towns objected to river water, and in
addition a filter required constant and
expert attention. which ii was not apt
TO get in a small town.
The council will investigate the
cost of acquiring the spring and re
port at a meeting TO be held later.
