Gentlemen:
Not having reply to our several
letters recently relative to the site
for location of new light and water
plant, the Board of Bond Trustees de-
cided it would not be amiss to submit
certain facts.
The conduit must be 81 feet deep
at old site, and will be 7 feet at new
site.
Water for cooling can not be
e pumped successfully over 10 feet
e which will necessitate cutting hill
t at old site feet. which is both ex-
s pensiye and dangerous while plant Is
: in operation.
v New we'll will be too close to old
d well, which may bleed old well anc
destroy large part of the two wells
o Two wells are imperative.
g No room for reservoir at old sit'
N which will become necessit,
o. within limited time, and additional
property will have to be purchases
: at a much larger cost than new sit
- can be had for at present
Present building is too much 81
posed to fire: is not fire proof 9
adequate in any particular, and wi
be total loss If old site is used
Railroad trackage is important. an
it is nearly three times more at ne
g- site than at the old.
Coal and wood can be handle
