Saturday and Sunday were two of
the most disagreeable days of the
whole winter. Saturday opened with
rain and sleet and soon the walls were
in an impossible condition. Falls
were numerous but few serious in
juries resulted. Sunday came with a
fierce wind from the northwest which
piled the snow into deep drifts on the
roads and streets. Light attendance
is reported at all the churches at both
Sunday services. Mail carriers had
tough experiences Monday morning
but all of the carriers with routes out
of Morris finished the course.

WOULD EFFECT SAVING IN
PUMPING
City Manager Siverts Make Re-
port of Cost of Pumping City
Water and Recommended
Largest Main from Station

In order to effect an economy, the
city council which built the water
works system in 1898 reduced the size
of the Waterman from the pumping
station to the tank to six inches.
They did this because they had to re-
duce the totel cost of installing the
vatsrworks, and had to make their
pattern fit the available cloth.
The village council at that time
did not fore see the enormous in
crease in the consumption of water
which few years would bring.
Since water consumption has in
creased, several engineers have re-
commended that the main should be
made larger, and now City Manager
Siverts has gone into the matter in
detail to show that it is a false
economy not to make the change as
soon as possible.
This is contained in his January re-
port, which is as tollows:-
