City Buys Land;
Reservoir Site
New Settling Basin is to Be
Constructed-Bids to
Be Secured

The city council, at their regular
meeting Monday night, voted unani-
mously, to buy seven and half acres
of land adjoining on the east Of the
present reservoir and settling basin,
north of town. The price secured on
this land was $50 per acre.
This piece of land is to be retained
for an enlarged reservoir later. when
IL is needed and at such time as the
city is more able to have the coDstruc-
tion done. These steps were taken
at this time as reasonable price had
been made on the land.
It was also voted that bids be Sc
cured on the construction Of settling
basin just north Of the present basin
and reservoir. The contract will call
for the removal Of approximately
5000 cubic yards Of earth. There will
be several improvements made on the
reservoir and settling basin.

Swi,k Beats Ordway

Swink took the game played with
Ordway here Sunday by score OF 0

IL looked at first that II would be.
The Ordwsy management had sent TO
Pueblo for pitcher. McBroom. and
he proved failure. In that Swink
was batting him all over the south
part OF sown. He remained In the
box for the first three innings and al
lowed eight runs Garrett was then
called 10 and redeemed himself. Gar
rett had pitched the game here with
OIney recently and was about as much
weight as u pitcher In that game as
high school girl, but he saw chance
Sunday to come back, and he did. He
can pitch ball and it is said Of him
that he pitchep when he feels like 10.
He felt like 1t Sunday aud crowned
himself with glory, allowing but one
run In the six innings he pitched.
There's a thing he should do and that
Is to tell the manager when he In.
tends to lay down so he can be "laid
off," The management OF the team
and the fans are with him when he's
right and they hope he will 20 his
best, for they like his work.
McBroom had allowed Swink to get
eight hits and Garrett In the six In.
nings held them to four.
Garrett also did some good batting.
He was at bat five times and made
three hits, q percentage OF 600 W.
Edgar was at the bat four times and
made two hits, a percentage Of 500.
