sponsible for saving to the city in
insurance premiums of approximately
100000 per annum. The water sup
ply or pressure is one of the prime
factors with insurance people in bas-
ing rates, and proportionate to the in
creased pressure the addition to the
city standpipe will furnish, the pres
ent rates should be reduced.
It has been a problem for some
time with the city to replenish it's
water supply, as the well from which
the present flow is gotten has caused
more or less trouble. This can and
will be overcome in one of several
feasible ways. By connecting with one
of the large overflow wells at some of
the manufacturing plants in the city
the necessary supply of water could be
obtained Another solution of the
problem and one that has been con
sidered heretofore is for well to be
sunk at Hamper Park and the water
used by the city. In case neither OF
these plans are adopted the city will
likely sink another well near the pres
ent one At any rate it is matter
of a short while before the water sup
ply of the city will be sufficient for al
