STUDY FILTRATION.

We seem 20 be going about the A.
tration problem backwards. II Is clear
that the right thing is 10 determine
first upon the type OF filtration plant
that we need. The investigations con
Quoted by tho water commission
through the work OF Engineer c. c.
Smith tend TO throw some light upon
this question; but the investigation OF
Mr.. Smith has not been complete. and
II Is obvious that further investigation
should be made by officials represent
ing the city. Before the town OF Park
ersburg determined upon a filtration
plant Il spent some twenty or thirty
thousand dollars In special study o,
the subject II may not be necessary
for the City OF Wheeling TO spend
such sum. but certainly Il is desir-
able for our city officials, members Of
Council and citizens generally TO be-
better Informed upon the subject than
they are now.
Filtration is an important problem.
We cannot build a filtration plant for
a few hundred dollars We cannot AZ.
ford 20 make a serious mistake.
Therefore. we ought to have. before we
20 forward. all the information that
Is reasonably possible 10 secure. II
City Council will undertake 10 provide
sufficient sum 70 pay for an exhaus-
tive investigation OF filtration plan.
II will DO its full duty at the present
time.

greeted by the Filipinos as a promise
OF early free dom from American con

conclusively that the Filipino is not
