engineers be called in to examine the
plant. Garfield Bond suggested that
additional ground ought to be bought
west OF the pumps for expansion In
| the future, but Mr.. Bergman re-
piled that the council had considered
that, found the land not for sale, and
decided 1t would even be an advant-
age to put up the additional stand
pipe on the other side of town.
Mr. Beebe said Mr., Johnson's years
of service, his work of development
and his confidence in Blackfoot
should be counted into the bargain.
Mr.. Johnson is asking price he
thinks reasonable, and Blackfoot
ought not to ask him to sell it for
less than he can get from an out
slider. 1t can probably be shown,
said Mr.. Beebe, that the system will
return sufficient revenue on the in
vestment-why haggle over the
price?
Mr.. Hilliard told the citizens that
the plant as it is cost Mr.. Johnson
$10S,O00 in actual cash; it returns
net income Of around $4,000 year;
1t has 6 wells, in operation, steel
cased and very deep SO that no sur
face water can get in. He told of
the new pumps recently installed, a
big centrifugal that pulls up enoguh
water for normal times all by itself,
and horizontal that pushes the
water on up the stand-pipe. He said
the company could give 60-pound
pressure in case Of necessity, but that
regularly supplies water at As
pounds
BlackfOOt Entrance
On the question of making Shilling
avenue the entrance to Blackfoot
from the south by building it down
to the tracks south of the river and
there meeting the road from Poca-
tello, G. V. Fisher spoke in opposi-
ton. He said it would be better to
let the traffic into the business dis
trict thru Taylor street, and save
tourists lot of trouble finding their
way to garages and hotels.
