The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-09

Mayor Eugene Tausick, whose great
ambition for the. past several years
has been the installation of storage
reservoir in connection with the city,
water system, has received the promise
Of members of the water committee
that he will see work well under way
before his present term expires. The
initial steps We're taken at the ad-
journed meeting last night when Coun-
Gilman Bachtold made a motion that
the water committee proceed to dis
pose of certain city property and take
preliminary steps for the selection of
site and the construction of such a
reservoir.
Affiliated for Years.
For the past few years-in fact
since the gravity water system was
installed-there mas been more or less
agitation in favor of the construction
of a reservoir, sufficient to store wa
ter enough to last the city for sew
eral days, and prominent citizens
present last night expressed them
the initial move of the council toward
securing such an addition to the mu-
nicipal water system. Various ideas
have been advocated, but it is not
known at this time just what plan the
water committee will recommend be
adopted. 1t is certain, however, that
muddy water to consumers will be
eliminated just as soon as property
can be disposed of, and the necessary
tions.
Some have been heartily in favor of
a storage reservoir located some dis
lance above the city, and connected
with the supply pipes, with gates that
may be shut at a moments notice,
excluding any water during times
when Mill creek is muddy or filled
with sediment. 1t is probable the
committee will require considerable
time in which to arrive at a proper
conclusion, but it was intimated last
night that the reservoir might be ex-
pected to materialize before another
fall freshet had opportunity to cause
such Inconvenience as was the rule
in Walla Walla last week.
Mayor TauSick has been one of the
most ardent supporters of the reSer-
voir in the city since he was elected
to the position of mayor, and his last
message TO the council urged the I'M
portance of such a step. He expressed
pleasure last night because of the mo-
ton entered by Mr.. Bachtold, and said
he had been assured steps were to
be taken to secure the reservoir by
next fall. at the latest.
In speaking of the plans last night
Mayor Tausick said the selection of
the site would undoubtedly be left
with the engineer who may have
charge of the work. 1t is planned to
construct a reservoir which will carry
five days supply, estimates of the
cost having been furnished the mayor
some time ago by Engineer r. H
Thompson, of Seattle. With a supply
capable to run the city for five days,
the mayor feels certain that consum-
ers would be spared the necessity of
using muddy water, and necessary re-
pairs in the pipe line could then be
made without interfering with the
supply.
It is the present intention to have
the work started and completed be-
fore danger of autumn freshets, and
with the muddy water occurring in sea-

7AYJACKET CLOSE SECOND

The beginning of the ending of the
GraVesend Bay yacht racing season was
witnessed yesterday, when the Brooklyn
Yacht Club gave its annual fall regatta for
all classes. The contest was the eleventh
race to count on the championship of the
lower bay, but owing to the fact that many
Of the boats already are out of commission
there was not a particularly large field OF

pity, as the day was ideal for the sport A
snapry southeast breeze, that brought the
first chill of autumn. sent the craft around
the different courses In excellent time. and
as a result there were early and interesting
finishes in all the divisions.
The appearance of More Joy, the property
of w. II. Childs, lent unusual interest to
the Q class. More Joy, although a lower
bay boat has been racing throughout the
summer on Long Island Sound. her only
other appearance on her home waters IN 4,
during the recent race week OF the At
lantic Yacht Club. She showed a clean pair
of heels in yesterdays contest, and won
handily by thirty-two seconds from F. s
Nobes Grayjacket
The course chosen by the regatta com
mittee. made up of Daniel Hawkins Will
lam Griffen and William Higgins. was
twice around marks off Bensonhurst, Fort
Hamilton, Craven Shoals and Sea Gate.
The committee boat was the schooner
Rosina. the property of Henry J. Langhaar.
and it was anchored midway on the Sea
Gate-Bensonhurst leg of the course. 1t
was down the wind to the first mark, with
the Spider the first TO gybe over the line.
The Grayjacket alone crossed on the star
board tack, and at once set a spinnaker to
starboard. The move was q good one. as
she pulled away from the Spider. the More
Joy and the Florence. the other boats in
the division.
The Grayiacket was the first to gyhe
around the Bensonhurst mark. Although
in second place the Spider made a mess of
the mark and let both the More JOY and
the Florence slip in ahead of her. It was
a broad reach to Fort Hamilton followed
by close reach to Craven Shoals and an
other across the channel to Sea Gate The
times taken at the end of the first round
We're: Grayjacket, 80; More JOY 3:53:11;
Florence, S:3415, and Spider, S:544O The
More Joy passed the Grayjacket on the
second reach to Fort Hamilton.
The racing in the other divisions also was
interesting. In the first division of the
handicap class the Joy was the first to
finish. but corrected time the prize went
to the hiana. In the second division of the
same class the Careless won on both cor
rected and actual time The Blue Bill
again won IN Glass s, and the Slow Poke
led home the knockabou The Aries was
the winner among the dingies of the New
