OF WATER
SUPPLY IN DANGER
Towne Writes TO Mayc> Moorhead
Suggesting Remedy Proposed
to Association by
Meigs.
IS CAUSED BY BOATS
Would Extend Intake pipe Below
Point Of Observation-Disclosures
Have First Right,
Believed.
IS CAUSED BY BOATS

That the purity Of the water supply
OF the city is being endangered by
excursion boats and other water craft
tieing up in the forebay near the In
take pipe, and that steps should be
taken at once to rectify this, was the
sense embodied in letter from o. B..
Towne, manager Of the Industrial as
sociation to the mayor of the city to-
day.
Mr.. Towne states that the boats
have the right to tie up In the fore.
bay whether the city So desires or
not, and repeats suggestion Of Major
Msigs, u. s. engineer, that the intake
pipe be changed so that purity of the
water will not be affected by the
boats tieing in the forebay. The let
ter from Manager Towne follows:
Mayor S. w. Moorhead,
Kaokuk, Iowa.
Dear Mr.. Moorhead:-At a recent
meeting of the executive committee
of the Industrial association, the
purity Of the water at the intake was
taks en- up for discussion. 1t seems
that the excursion boats and other
river craft have been anchoring In
the forebay recently, in spite Of the
directions Of Major Meigs, and have
used the seawall to tie to on many
occasions. Major Meigs has moved
them as soon as the action has been
called to his attention and ordered
them not to tie there again.
Msskat-
Committee Protested.
In comforting with Major Meigs this
morning In regard to this. he told me
when it comes down to first principles
the forebay was constructed for the
benefit Of navigation rather than for
the water works for the city of Keo-
kuk. While he is willing and glad to
do. all he can to keep the water sup
ply of Keokuk pure, the fact remains
that the navigation int srests have the
first claim. He says 1t is great
bother to keep the water pure at this
place He thinks it Is unsatisfactory
and that the protest first made by the
committee on public health and n.y.
giene relative to this, should have
some weight.
However, he is OF the opinion that
since the navigation interests claim
the right to tie up in the forebay that
there should be some change In the
intake. He believes that there should
be down pipe from the present In
take, about Is feet below the surface,
and then a lateral running out on the
bed Of the forebay one hundred feet
of SO. This would place 1t below the
point of contamination ana would put
It far enough out into the forebay to
insure the water being good.
Would Give Boats Full Rights.
This is simply suggestion on his
part. He says it would relieve him
greatly and make it possible to allow
the boats their full navigation rights
IN the forebay and at the same time
give the city the pure water.
l agree with the major IN that the
interests are first in the
liver. but that does not help us out
n keeping the water supply pure.
Don't you suppose that 1t would be
possible for US to get something done
lere to rectify the situation? would
ike to call on you and talk the mat
er over in person at an early date.
Yours very truly,
O. B, TOWNE,
