CITY COUNCIL

Last Tuesday evening at the regular
monthly meeting of the city council
there was much of Importance con-
corning the welfare of our city brought
before the session. One was the re-
mort on the water works of our city
nv Alvord & Burdick, of Chicago, en-
gineers. which was secured by the
Wausau Rotary club, and by that club
submitted to the city council. The
report is very exhaustive and was pre-
scented by Chas. B. Burdick, who took
about one and a half hours in explain
ing the report The engineers sub
mitted three plans, viz:
A low reservoir plan which will cost
the city $344, 800; high reservoir plan
at a cost of $31S,000, and a direst pres
sure plan at a cost of~$303,600. The
engineers recommended the high
reservoir plan, as it is held over the
others because of having large vol
ume of water stored in an elevated
reservoir ready at all times for use in
case of fire. This would cost the city
s31S.OOO. which, with the present cost,
1891 .241. would bring the cost of the
city water works plant of Wausau up to
Sos, PAL. This will include f1ltering
plant which will remove the cren-
othix or growth in the pipes, which
now makes the water so undesirable
for almost any purpose. The report
saws that the healthfulness OF the
water supply is not questioned; that
there is no contamination; that the
fire protection todayis perfectly made
uuate. The proposed plan will take
care of the supply up to 1880, estimat-
ing that Wausau will then have pop
ulation of 10000 people. The report
takes up at length the matter of cleo
trio and steam powers and also the in
stallation of meters to cut down the
waste. The report of the engineers
was referred to the commission on
water and the board of public works,
to be reported on at some future meet
| ing.
The finance committee presented the
tax budget for 1867, which was
adopted 1t amounts to $243, 627.50, or
an increase of nearly $4,000. This
will bring the taxes up to about $3.50
or a little higher than last year. 1t
was voted to levy the following upon
the taxable property of the city OF
| WauSau for 1916:

WIDOWS PENSION
Law Passed by Congress Sept. Sth,
Gives a Widow of Soldier $50
Per Month.

There is no doubt under the new
law recently passed by congress, quite
a number of widows in this county,
entitled to an. increase of pension. A
law firm in Stevens Point has re-
ceived the following from the Com
missioner of Pensions at Washington,
which explains what to do:
''In response to your recent favor"
says the circular, you are advised
that if a person is pensioned as the
widow of soldier, sailor or marine,
who served in the Civil war, and who
was MS lawful wife during the period
of his services in said war, or as the
widow of a soldier, sailor or marine
who served in the Civil war, the war
with Mexico or the war of 1872, and
who has reached the age of seventy
years, she should, if she has not al
ready done so, write letter to the
Commissioner of Pensions, being care
full to state in same, correctly her
pension certificate number, the name
and service of the soldier, sailor or
marine, the exact date of her birth,
the place of her birth, her name as
it appears in her pension certificate,
and her present postoffice address in
full. No further formal application
is necessary to secure the benefits
of the increase OF pension granted
by the section of the Act approved
by the President September 8, 1916.
eff the evidence in her pension
case shows that she is entitled to
the increase of pension provided by
this legislation, the bureau will as
soon as possible grant an increase.
If further evidence be necessary a
call will be issued. No claim agent or
attorney will be recognized in con-
nection with this matter.
"In order to obtain pension or re-
newal of pension under the second
section of the Act of Congress ap-
proved September 8, 1916, remar-
ried widow who desires to claim the
benefits of said section must file
formal application in this bureau.
"If a widow desires to claim pen
sion under the third section of the
Act, which gives a widow, as de-
scribed in. Sectioni2 of the Act ap-
proved April 10, 1908, title to apply
for pension if she married soldier or
sailor prior to June q, 1905, it will
be necessary for her to file formal
application in this bureau, claiming
the benefits granted by that section. !"
