From five hundred thousand gal
Ions to sixteen hundred thousand, is
the increase in the daily water con-
sumption Of Pensacola since 1908.
That indicates the extent of the de-
velopment and Improvement here.
It was during this period that sew
erage was given the city. The prev
ious five hundred thousand gallons
were sufficient for drinking and house
hold purposes, but sanitation, when
Pensacola became modern city, is
finding an increasing use for water
all the time.
AS the Consumption trebled, the
price was cut in half. Formerly
water cost from 80 cents to Is cents
thousand gallons; now the maxi
mum price is Is cents, and on million
gallon contracts, 10 cents.
And the best part of it Is, that
the increase in plant equipment was
not paid by additional taxation. All
improvements have been paid out of
the profits, for the cost of production
is eight and one-quarter cents q
thousand gallons and the selling price
is ten to twenty-five cents. Or in
other words, the receipts are given at

PLANT REPRESENTS PROGRESS.
Pensacola Is now served by up
wards Of forty miles of water pipes.
Only a month or so ago the new
pumping station was completed; the
building cost $4,000; the machinery
is worth $4,000; and the entire in
vestment amounts to $350,000.
The plant, on DeSoto and Tara
gona streets, is fast becoming one of
the show places of the town. The
building, which is S0x80 feet, is of
brick, steel-reinforced; with capacious
windows, and is built on the pleasing
architectural lines that is so charac-
teristic Of Pensacola's public build
ings. The city owns quarters
of a square where the station is To-
Gated; the land has been graded,
schillinger walks laid, and park,
with a fountain, is now being laid
out. Camphor trees will be set out

PURE WATER.
Thirteen artesian wells, tapping the
limpid streams over a hundred feet
below the earth's surface, supply the
water that is 80 per cent pure. A
gigantic air pump helps raise the

in the reservoirs, having a capacity
of million and three-quarter gal
Ions. AS the limpid stream flows

1t has sparkle, it has life, it is beau

From the reservoirs it is pumped
into the pipe system at pressure
ranging between 70 and so pounds.
GOOD SERVICE.
All the machinery is in duplicate,
so that if any part breaks, there will
be no interruption. Not so much as
a bolt of the original machinery is
now in use, and only few bricks re-
main of the old building. The new
structure was built around the old
one, every vestige of which has now
been removed except a piece of one
wall.
SAVING TO THE CITY.
Sixteen men are connected with the
waterworks department, which is UNI
der the direction of ]. L. Sweeney,
superintendent since 1909. Mr..
Sweeney is making fad out of the
work, as is shown by his policy to
have everything as fine as he can
get it, and make it look pretty be-
sides. A dynamo will be installed to
supply the electric lights of the plant,
which will mean considerable saw
ing to the city.
Five and half tons of coal are
being used a day; it costs $2.75 a
ton, laid down, but Mr.. Sweeney
thinks that he can lop off little of
the handling cost by erecting a troll
ley from the railroad track to the
coal shed.
| NO WATER WASTED.
The water CONSUMPTION here is
heavier in summer than in winter;
and it falls off after a rain in the
summer. Sprinkling gardens is the
reason The consumption is less on
Sunday, because the factories have
closed down. Eleven o'clock, c
o'clock and s o'clock mark the high
consumption periods of the day. The
factories and laundries reach their

This is one of the lowest averages in
the country. In New York, for in
stance, the proportion is many times
that amount. The reason is that here
in Pensacola the meter system is more
widely in force. Eighty-five per cent
of the water patrons of Pensacola
have meters, and they do not waste
the water. In New York, the proper
ton is only 20 per cent; and in Chi
cago, % per cent.
