AUTHORITIES PLAN
CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS

For the past two summers the
city water works wells have been
worked to their utmost capacity
to supply the ever-increasing
needs Of the city and there has
been a threatened shortage.
Many times the water has been SO
low in the tank that, had a fire
occurred, it is doubtful whether
there would have been sufficient
water to fight it. The water
pumping system consisted Of
two pumps, 4 triplex pump locat-
ed in the frame building with a
capacity of about 200 gallons per
minute and a rotary pump, locat-
ed in the concrete house, with a
capacity of about 400 gallons
per minute. This latter is used
only to supply wat.r When the
Requirements Of the ..ity necessi-
tate it. Owing to the gradual
decrease in the flow of water IN
the present wells they do not
produce sufficient water to sup
ply the rotary pump. AS a result
when recently used, this pump
rapidly lowered the water in the
wells and then pumped air until
water raised in the wells. This
resulted in almost. doubling the
power. bill. About three weeks
ago this pump was badly damag-
ed, all gears being broken. In
quiry as to. repair parts revealed
the fact that this type Of pump
is no longer being made and the
factory cannot supply the needed
parts. In view of the rapidly in
creasing population Of the city
and consequent increased water
consumption, it has been deemed
advisable by the city council to
sink several new wells at short
distance from the present ones
and put in triplex pump OF a
standard make similar to that
owned by the city. Fortunately
the electric motor, formerly used
to drive the rotary spainp, can,
with certain changes. be used to
drive the new triplex pump.

ments for the city water system

Mrs. George West, as chairman
of the program committee, intro
duced Mrs. Wells, president Of the
Mason Club
"The Negro was the topic of
the day and, as Mrs. Wells very
cleverly. remarked. it is a dark
subject. Mrs. Wells began with
the introduction of slavery into
this country. Our forefathers
came here of their own free will,
she remarked, but the negro came
against his will. He was brought
as slave and bought and sold
like merchandise Mrs. Wells
stated that II per cent of all the
labor in the United is done by the
negro race and spoke of the neg
ro's characteristics as religious.
superstitious, naturally indolent
but teachable. Mrs. Wells then
recited a touching poem by Bish-
op Mcintyre entitled, "The Least

Mrs. ]. F. Mckay sang, in her
pleasing manner, Swing Low

Hanson and she then named many
famous negroes, among them Paul
Lawrence Dunbar, the poet,
| Booker T. Washington, and Alex
andre Dumas, who was mulatto.
Mrs. Hanson terminated with a
recitation in negro dialect in her
clever and entertaining manner.
Mrs P. H. Cook spoke of riots
and unrest in connection with the
negro. The negro has made
a splendid soldier, Mrs Cook
stated, and he served his country
well in both the civil war and the
recent world war. Also, the neg
70 is patriotic, said Mrs. Cook,
and he supported his government
splendidly in the purchase Of
Liberty bonds and in all of the
war measures. Mrs. Cook made
a plea for the negro as against
the lynching evil.
MIS-. ". II. BOtt stated that
lynching is increasing both in the
north and south and that the neg
70 should be treated in a human
way. Some one remarked that
negros had no souls and Mrs.
Wells remarked that it was not so
many generations ago when the
women were said to have no souls.
Mrs Bott then read an interesting
letter from Mrs. Booker T.
Washington.
