fContinued from PaEe I

TO be built should be the one at the
dam For a liberal and cheap water
supply. Il Is to the interest Of the
city Of FL Paso to build the CanutillO
plant first
The sources OF the present city
water supply are inadequate and the
cost OF supply water from the deep
wells on the mesa makes II necessary
to charge a very high rate per 1000
gallons II a more adequate and
cheaper source Of water supply can
be furnished the city Of FL Paso. the
daily per capita use VIII unquestion-
ably largely increase. An average
yearly demand Of $50 gallons per
capita per day would not be IN
reasonable. Pumping operations now
cost the city nearly cents per 1000
gallons alone.
Water Is Good.
AN analysis OF the water in Ele-
plant Butte reservoir showed prac-
tfcally the same amount OF solid mat
ter per 100000 parts as carried by
the mesa water The quality OF the
reservoir water improves as the reser-
vOir fills and IS practically the same
as the mesa water"
In bringing water down in the canal
Mr.. Bill says, there would be no
greater chance Of pollution Of this
supply than Of the best water supplies
OF the greatest eastern cities" and
continues:
"A lined canal having a capacity Of
100 second feet should connect with
the high line canal above the power
plant at CanutillO and carry FL Paso's
water to a reservoir as large and as
near the city as topographic coudi-
tons permit. This cost would be
about $500. 600"
Pumps operated by electricity. he
says, could lift this water at a cost
Of about $4,000 in 1920 and S126.000
by 1925. or a saving by 1920 Of
$3.50. 900 and by 1925 OF $500, 900 under
