With Completion Today Of
New Storage Reservoir
HOLDING 45,OOO,OOO GALS.
Important Municipal Improvement Was
Started a Year Ago and II Will
Cost a Little More Than
$4,000.

The city's new storage reservoir in
Orange was completed to-day, and water
is running over the dam. The work on
the reservoir was started BY the con-
tractors, Long 4 company Of Fitehburg,
Mass, July II, 1909, and the company
expected to have Il completed 5y the
fret Of last December. but owing 60 the
striking Of a gravel bed, where the
foundation Of the dam was to be laid
the consequent necessity for steel piles
for considerable part Of the width Of
the dam, the work was thereby pro-
lonqed so that IL was impossible to com
plefe It last year. The contractors
worked up TO the first Of December,
when they were obliged to stop. ON ac-
count Of the cold weather and frost.
They resumed the work again this
spring about the last Of April. A part
Of the core wall and she earth embank-
mcnt to the dam had to be finished this
year. Water was first turned into the
reservoir July and on Tuesday Of this
week it was running over the top Of the
dam. Once during this time the water
was drawn down three feet, as IL inter-
fered with the work on the dam.
hfouRh lhls reservoir tHc MAtti sup
ply is increased by 100000 gallons
OF water, which is stored up, not for
a "rainy day" but for "dry day"
To morrow afternoon the members Of
the city council will visit the reservoir,
and City Engineer Reid and the con
tractors extend a cordial invitation to
the public 20 be present at that time
TO inspect the reservoir with the coun-
Gil
The city appropriated the sum Of S45,-
000 for the reservoir. The total cost
viii exceed that sum little on account
Of the gravel bed found when the work
was started, which added much to the
expense.
