In the Year 1911 City Did Not
Touch River Supply.
First Time in History This Rec
ord Was Made.
WELLS PLENTY FOR FUTURE
May Never Be Necessary to Use
Emergency Intake.
For Every Pound of Coal 1856
Gallons Water Was Pumped.

In his annual report to the city
corr missioners this morning, Jesse
Shaw, superintendent of the city wa
ter works, shows that for the first time
in the history of the city, Topeka was
not forced in the year 1911 to rely
upon the river for a water supply in
emergencies.
Not once in the twelve months of
1871 was it necessary for the water
works to go to the river for water.
Every gallon of water was pumped
from the drive wells under the river
and from the immense wells on the
river front west of the city. In past
years it has been necessary in a dry
season or in icy weather on the river
to pump water through the river in
take valves and pollute the city's wa
ter mains.
keep up the record established in the
year 1911. With the additional we'll
at the plant, with a water supply that
would handle the Topeka consum ption
if the city had 49, 600 persons and
with the recommendations before the
board of city commissioners, it is not
probable that it will be necessary to
rely upon the river emergency valve
in the future.
N the year 1911 the city water
works department made the best rec
ord for water pumping per ton OF
coal in its history. For every ton of
se0 se1io %e oV sta- forced
through the mains to the city. For
every pound Of coal consumed, 1S6
gallons of water was sent to the city
consumers. Last year-a record year
at that time-on1y $50 gallons of wa
ter was pumped per pound of coal.
And this year the city furnished
steam to run a huge sand dip.
The record of water pumped in
1911 runs above the billion gallon
mark This is the highest number of
gallons of water consumed in the his
tory of the city-and the water used
at fires was in a small amount COM
pared with many years.
The water works pumped a daily
average of 3,O67.713 gallons of water
a day and a monthly average of 3d.
3O9,616 gallons.
The record for the year follows:

The Rock Island VIII Extend
Double Track Facilities.
More Rails From Iowa City to
Council Bluffs, Ia.
COMPETE WITH OTHER ROADS
Only Small Tonnage on Ac-
count of Steep Grades.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Council Bluffs. Ia, Feb. Ito en-
able it to better compete with other
lines covering the same territory the
Rock Island will extend the present
terminus of its double track at Iowa
City to Valley Junction and later on
to Council Bluffs and reduce gradients
between here and Davenport No
definite time for the improvements
has been determined upon, but it is
known that they viii be made, prob
ably this year.
Under present conditions the Rock
Island is a. a tremendous diSadvant-
age in competing with the Burlington,
Milwaukee, Illinois Central and North
western railroads in Iowa. on ae-
count of the steep grades between
here and Davenport only the most
powerful Rock Island engines can haul
more than 900 tons of freight as
against 1900 to 1000 tons over the
other roads It is understood that a
considerable portion of the money
realized from the sale of bonds recent
~ made Will be used in reducing
gradients of the line entering here.
The principal improvements VIII be
the building of another track from
Iowa City to this place several years
ago, when engaged IN relay1ng the
single track from Iowa City to Council
Bluffs, the company, in putting in cuI-
NertS and constructing bridges, took
into consideration future necessities
and made them wide enough to oc-
commodate a second track. This viii
very much facilitate the work and
make it much easier to accomplish
The reducing of grades and con-
struction of a double track would per-
init of moving six times the volume of
traffic possible to be moved on the
present line. It would permit short
ening of schedules. both freight and
passenger, and immensely facilitate
the handling of almost four times the
tonnage now handled. 1t would also
bring into use economies that would
greatly reduce the cost of operating
the road.
