TIE citizens d Milbank to cRll
r inspect the workings .of the
plaiit any morning or afternoon.
The man in charge will gladly
k,oW. them through.
TIE filter plant, machinery pumps
and water connections thereto cost
the city $l7. 500 fully completed.
III will filter 500, 900 gallons every
t~wenty-four hours.
Much credit for the low cost of
Ga flter plant and its very satis-
factory completion belongs to Al
derlnans Koepke, who personally
worked hard and spent q great deal
of time In building of the same.
-SEWEI s.
The city constructed nearly three
blocks Of stw.r last fall on the
South end Of Fourth street AMI in
the South side addition. ! would
not recommend that we build any
more sewers or water mains unless
absolutely necessary until after the
war o. account Of the high price Of
all labor and material in Connection
with the work. | believe that part
sof your city on the North side Of
the railroad should have sewer and
water connections, and this coun-
eli should pledge to do this work
Immediately after the war. /
would recommend that our citizens
Rndeavor to get along with the
back up sewer troubles during the
heavy ~rainfalls.s until such q time as
material and labor are cheaper and
the City can afford to bull a large
storm saver for surface water to
4connect all the lower parts Of the
I city and empty into the creek at
the filter plant. Our present sys-
TEN was built only for sanitary
sewerage purposes and is very salts
factory as such. and we can not ex-
pect it to carry all surface water
during very heavy rains, together
with its other functions.
DEPARTMENTS
Our police department. fire de-
partment and health department
have each performed the duties re-
duired on every occasion. / wish
IA thank each one for their careful,
efficient and faithful services.
We have added 800 feet Of new
ere hose IN the past month and have
had no bad fires during the last
gear.
wish to urge upon u citizens
che absolute necessity for each one
ii cooper. and obey all demands
of our Boa, Of Health. especially
ia removing all rubbish Of every
m,a4ure from premises and alleys at
xais time of the year, so that the
danger OF an epidemic may be
eliminated az far as possible. This
must be done and " health laws
enforced strictly.
CARNEGIE library
Il believe the city library board is
doing the best possible work con-
ssiderinr the amount available for
4his purpose. During the last year
khe library has been redecnrated
inside throughout. and the heating
plaiit put In first class shape. | be-
.lieye this institution should be
even better supported in the fu-
ture. and It is worthy Of your best
support.
CITY PROGRESS
1 believe there is only one real
Important question before this City
Cpuncilsand our citizens for the com
5nr year, and that Is: What can
yverde to help win the war;
NH corncil should be pre-
7bared to,eive any amount Of money
