VISIT NEW FILTER,

The council visited the new filter
in Reservoir park Saturday after
noon in order to inspect it before
il is finally accepted from the Pitts
burg Filter Manufacturing COM
pany- For the benefit of the coun-
cilmen, four of the six filter units
were pressed into service and were
run for about an hour during which
time they saw the working OF all the
machinery. The filter could not be
kept running, however, because there
is still some work 10 be done 1t is
hoped that the plant will be in oper-
alton by Wednesday, 1t was pointed
out TO the aldermen Saturday that
they must not look for instantaneous
results when the machinery is start
ed. Because Of the fact that raw
water fresh from the river has been
in the mains for months, II will take
some time for the filtered water to
clean the pipes out so that the wa
ter al the final outlet will be per-
fectly clear. II is estimated that il
viii require two weeks for this.

they felt had been cast upon them by
his statements. II was accepted after
some discussion. Simser had tntimat-
ed in his first statement that other
