:. At meeting of the city council
held in the city hall, in the city Of
Bemidji, April 20, 1918, we the I'M

for, the purpose of investigating the
manner in which adjacent cities Sc
cured their water supply, the quail
ity of the same, and to look into the
water conditions generally to en-
able the, city council to take up the
water proposition in more intel
ligent manner. ~ ..,.+-.t
I. It is generally admitted that a
good, safe and efficient water supply
is one of the greatest assets and one
of the essentials Of a good and grow
ing city such as we have.
sOne of. the first questions asked
by a manufacturer or resident, who
may locatein> growing city are in
regard ito the water supply. He
wants to know about the Supply for
the following purposes: -.
Drinking, manufacturing purposes,
laundries, baths, street sprinkling
and Flushing, fire protection, etc.

Our city at, present is supplied
from a series of four deep wells,
ranging from $50 to 1926 feet deep
and thirteen shallow wells around 20
feet in depth. For certain reasons
with which we are not entirely ia
n1iliar, the supply has become def
cient to such an extent as tO. cause
alarm in the city, and the danger Of
not being able to furnish enough wa
ter for domestic and fire purposes be-
came so acute that the. council de-
cided that the time had come for an
cverhauling of the water system,
and after several meetings action was
taken resulting in the appointment
of this committee. = ~ = =

- There is no disputing the: fact that
the city is growing to such an ex-
tent as to necessitate the furnishing
of double or triple the amount of wa

large amount of water which shall
be of the best quality, otherwise the
