Contractor Cherrier that he would
have TO rush the work more.
Engineer Kelsey declared that PEN
dleion now has noe OF the best water
systems in the west. With the line
constructed Of concrete that will en-
iure for years, with the supply Of un-
questioned purity and OF sufficient
quantity 10 answer the needs Of the
city for long time, with a sufficient
fan 10 give good pressure TO the hill
communities as well as the flats. the
gravity system, he said. constitutes a
great asset for Pendleton. The fact
that the reservoirs are. covered. he
said, IS one feature OF the system the
public should appreciate. Not only
VIII the cover protect the water from
The warm sun and from the dust
which the wind carries but it will
prevent anyone from throwing any
thing Of any nature into the reser-
yoirs.
Mr.. Kelsey was very pleased that
the citizens had honored the mem
bers OF the commission who had made
the long fight for the system. It in
dicates to him. he said, that the peo-
pie are beginning to appreciate what
the efforts OF these men mean to the
city.
