INVESTIGATION OF
WATER CONDITIONS

Pursuant to complaints made to
the Public Service Commission by
residents of Hawthorne, that com
misslon( Composed of J. +. ShaunesSy
and w. H. Simmons, accompanied
by w, K. Frenden berger, engineer,
and Frank Healy, clerk) held q meet
ing of investigation in the Court
House last Monday, and examined
several witnesses, each of whom
testified under oath. John r. Mel
rose appeared for the complainant is.
Fl. S. Mcleod testified that he has
been using the water for the past
two years. He said the quantity of
water furnished is sufficient, but the
quality is decidedly bad, at times the
water being unfit for use until fill
tered. Here witness produced two
samples of water drawn from his
own faucets. One was the color OF
molasses, and the other very roily. !
Most OF the time froni 1914 to the
present the water has been bad.
Witnesses recently made trip over
the line, found the pipes in places
broken, and in places where there are
no pipes the water runs through the
creek bed, which is filled with dead
leaves and decaycd vegetation. At
one place there was the carcass af a
dead horse around which the water
had evidently been flowing. In re-
sponse to question Mr. Mcleod
said he thought that if the company
would install tiltering process it
would to great extent remedy the
evil. Being asked if there was any
means of flushing the pipes, he said
there were "a number of fire plugs in
town which were opened at times for
flashing purposes. The water is
taken from point about nine miles
from town and conveyed in pipes
about six miles. For three miles it
runs in the creek bed If the com
pany would put in three miles of
new pipe the water would be much
better.

Ed Pitcher testified that he has
been employed in general work by
the water company for five years at
intervals. The water comes from
springs in Cory Canyon. Water
enters pipes near Eagles Nest and
is conveyed about 900 feet. Then
enters the creek aud runs about four
miles. Never saw dead animals in
creek. While cleaning tanks found
several dead chipmunks.

intendent of the company, said that
the physical condition of the line is
not the best. In places the top of
the pipe has completely rusted away.
Where these holes appear they have
been covered, but there may be pla-
ces underground where they occur
and where gophers can get in. do
not believe that conditions here JUS
tify the installation of filterirg

A pipe line running up the canyon
to Eagles Nest would not help the

nate above this point.

The Well Drillers

T. w. Clark has moved his well
drilling outfit to the north eastern
portion of the Hawthorne valley,
which is known on the maps as Lake
Valley, point about two miles
north of town, where he is putting
down a well for Ira Fallon and Joe
Glraud, who will establish a sheep
camp and shearing pens at that
place Water was encountered in
the new we'll at depth of so feet,
out the well will be continued until
a formation more favorable for the
operation OF pumps is encountered.
Mr.. Clark will shortly move to
Mason Valley. where he will do con
siderable drilling, but he states that
he will return as possible to his for
mer location east of Hawthorne and
continue his search for water there.
1t is his intention to sink to depth
OF 500 feet; he has already started
three holes there, each of which has
been abandoned because of striking
boulders. A peculiar feature of these
wells has been the fact that boiling
water has been encountered at a
depth of between POO and 300 feet
As no hot springs are known to
exist in this vicinity. it is thought
that an under ground channel has
been struck which, it is expected.
will develop into flowing wells as
greater depth is attained.

Object OF Ordnance.
The attorney consulted by Mrs.
Bender is OF the opinion that this
section of the ordinance refers merely
to dairies, having as its purpose the
prevention Of bottling milk in dairy
delivery wagons and to check for
mer practice of delivering milk in
bulk In dairy wagons.
The milk supply which. the Bender
plant receives daily is delivered in
quantities Of a gallon or more. in
large metal containers, which Is In
compliance with the ordinance and
there is no section Of the ordinance
which specifically provid,s that milk
purchased in such quantities by. Rich
mond dealers. not actually engaged in
the dairy business, has to be disposed
of to consumers in bottles.
Explains Her Stand.
Mrs Bender casually remarked to-
day that even In the event the bottling
section OF the ordinance was appli-
cable to her business as well as to
diaries, she did not see where she had
violated it as alleged, because her
plant had not been inspected by In.
spector Glenn in fifteen months and
never by Health ofhcer Smelser, as re.
quired by the ordinance.
Mrs. Bender has been very active
in support OF. the movement in behalf
of a competent administration OF the

taken the position that her expendi
