COURT HOUSE MAY Be
ENLARGED
An Addition of Two Rooms
Planned-One for Treasurer,
Other for Auditor

The county commissioners have
under advisement the building of an
addition of two rooms on the north
end of the court house in order to
provide an Office for the county trea-
surer and additional room for the
county clerk, whose present quarters
are crowded. The treasurer has had
his office in the McNish store since
the organization of the county, but
this arrangement has proved unsat-
isfactory and inconvenient to the
treasurer as well as to his constitu-
ents. His office room will be equipped
with vault.

WATER SUPPLY PLENTY
FOR CITY NEEDS
City Engineer Presents Report
of WaterwOrks Condition
Recommends improvements

nights meeting of the City Council,
presented a very complete report OF
the condition of the city waterworks
pumping plant and the water supply
to the waterworks committee. lis in
vestigation shows that there is an
unlimited supply Of water to feed
the we'll and that the well will dis
charge six times the present con5ump-
ton every "a hours. The only rec
ommendation he makes is the in
stallation of an automatic starting and
stopping device for the pump, con
troled by float in the tank and one
in the sump, which ne contends will
insure a tank full of water at all
times. In addition il will also insure
a reserve water supply sufficient to
fight fires four hours. The report fol-
lows:
Herewith submit my report on
the condition of the present water
system of the city of Emmett:
"Well-The well is flowing at rate
of 125 gallons per minute for the first
500 gallons, or minutes; the next 500
gallons takes II minutes; the next
500 gallons "a minutes; and the next
500 gallons takes one hour. There
seems to be an unlimited supply of
water to feed the well, and on the
basis of the first 500 gallons the well
will discharge 100000 gallons in "a
hours, or 6 times the present con-
sumption of 10000 gallons. These
measurements were taken at low
water, in the month of February.
"Sump-The sump is 6.1x6.2x12.3
and has capacity of 5000 gallons in
high water; in low water will only
raise to the 2OO-gallon mark.
"Pump-The pump is 4-inch
Worthington turbin with 10-foot lift,
will discharge 450 gallons per minute
and appears to be in good working
order.
"Motor-The motor is so h. p, 200
volts, phase, go cycle, 1120 R. 2. M.
at full load.
"Iank-Ihe tank has capacity OF
75O00 gallons and with 1000 gallons
in the sump makes 1900 gallons OF
water on hand.
Fire Protection-Two line of hose
under a 48-pound pressure and with a
1-inch nozzle will discharge 372 gal
Ions per minute with loss of IL
pounds per 100 feet in 21s inch
hose. This gives 3.O4 hours of fire
fighting. In 3.04 hours the well will
supply 22,500 gallons, making total
of 199,500 gallons in 3.04 hours, or
hours fire supply.
At present there is approximately
10000 gallons used every "a hours,
about $500 gallons every hour with a
possible increase this summer of one
third more making 40,000 gallons.
81 see no need for enlarging the
present sump, with the>present supply
of the well, but l do recommend an
control with a float in the
tank and one in the sump, which will
insure the tank full at all times"

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
PENNANT
Defeats Militia in Hard Fought
Game and Cinches the
Championship

Through inability to throw baskets,
the Militia five lost Friday nights
game and the High School cinched the
championship of the city basketball
league. The score was % to 15.
The game was an exciting one and
kept the spectators on their tiptoes
from start to finish. Up until few
minutes before the end of the last
half the two teams were neck and
neck, and as fast as one team plunged
ahead the other team spurted and
tied the score. In the last two min
utes of play the High School threw
three fields goals and a goal from
foul and made victory sure. But it
was close shave.
In team work the Militia was su-
perior to the High school and had a
machine that worked as smooth as
watch, and had they been as prof.
cient in throwing baskets there would
have been different story to tell.
