new RESERVOIR
SHOULD SOON
BE COMPLETED
AS The old YEAR CLOSES
PROGRESS Made On Other I'm
prOVGmGRtS

1t is believed that the final work
on the new 25O,OOO gallon concrete
reservoir now in course of construc-
ton at the pumping station will oe
completed within a week, or at least,
within two weeks.
This does not mean that the reser-
voir will be ready for use within the
| time mentioned, but that the actual
work of construction will have been
concluded within that time. AS d
matter of fact, a month or more will
be required for the concrete to hard
EN- so that the reservoir may be plac-
ed in commission.
The main part of the reservoir has
been completed for some time past,
but the work to be finished now is
that upon the roof, which is to be of
reinforced concrete like the main
part. The forms for the concrete in
this special part of the work are hard
to place as the roof is to haveAaslope
to turn the rain. The completion of
the work of placing the forms for the
concrete is the only work of conse-
quence to be completed now on the
reservoir and this will occupy about
a week more.
After the forms for the roof have
been placed and the concrete poured
into them there will be nothing to be
done except to attend to some of the
minor details of making the reservoir
thoroughly waterproof. The joints of
the side and bottom, which are spo-
cially likely to leak, will be re-inforc-
ed thoroughly. In order to secure the
reservoir from leakage, the side walls
will also be waterprOofed, as concrete,
unless made with care and precision,
is likely to prove so porous as to
leak. Every precautiOn will be taken
to make the big reservoir waterproof,
so that the inconvenience of leakage
and the danger of the contamination
of the water supply may be avoided.
Work on the other improvements
at the pumping station is progressing
satisfactorily, though some of it has
been delayed recently. The new arte-
sian well has been drilled to a depth
of $50 feet. Work on this well has
been delayed for some time on ac-
count of the failure to secure certain
supplies, which were ordered but did
not arrive. The addition of this well
will furnish an abundant supply of
water to fill the new reservoir, which
will have capacity equal to that of
all three of the other reservoirs.

the accident came to her aid

JUDGE SAYS MARRIAGE AFTER
SHORT COURTSHIP Is IDIOTIC

st. Louis, Dec. 19-Judge Hugo
Grimm, in ruling on a divorce case,
called marriages after very short
courtships simply idiotic, and said
they were likely to come to an early
end in the divorce court.
In a subsequent interview Judge
Grimm said that the reason so many
such marriages is that women fear
they will be called old maids, there
fore they snatch the first wedding
chance that offers.

When the young reformer finished
her speech there was no discussion, as
is customary. The club adjourned. 1t
