OUR OWN PLANT.

To the Editor: In an evening pa
per of recent date there appeared an
article signed Lady Voter advis-
ing us to seek our best good in vot-
ing for the Northern States Power
company, /. e., against municipal
bonds, to the end that all women of
the city have electric ranges within
the next twenty years.
How many of the Housekeeping
women of this city expect to have
electric ranges, which cost so much
to install here, in East the rate be-
comes 2 cents, as was suggested il
might, though ii seems a vague pos
sibility?
AS to the expert who declared that
the municipal rate would never be
lower than Al cents, how can we
be sure his opinion vas totally un-
biased, ever though he was SEN for
in all good faith?
Why do those who are for the
Northern States Power company
proposition feel they must do so
much advertising? Can it be possible
they own, or may own, stock in that
company? Perish the thought! But
perhaps it would be well to investi-
gate.
We are told in a Northern States
advertisement that in case its power
failed at any time for a certain num-
Der of hours or days our agreement
with it would be null and void, but
would that beautiful, ~giIt-edged guar
antee furnish us with light if there
were a breakdown?
And if we must maintain an emer

in Graceland cemetery.
The movement for a drive to So
licit funds for a soldiers memorial
building to be erected in Pierre is
soon to be under way. 1t appears now
that many counties of the state are
far more favorable to a drive that
had for its object the erection of a
memorial at each county seat. AT
this time the sentiment of the peo-
pie of Lake county is desired so that
effort may not be divided. The sug-
gestion has been made that a mass
meeting be called Immediately and
an expression of the peoples will in
this matter be obtained. The Daily
Leader will gladly receive any opin-
ion on this subject with a view to
settling on location, design, cost, ETC.,
of a proper memorial for our SOL
diers. The quota of $1,000 which
was intended for a building at Pierre
would, if pledged, go a long way to-
ward properly remembering and hon
oring our boys locally. The organiza-
ton now in trim for the drive could
easily swing the campaign in favor
of a memorial to be erected on the
court house grounds in Madison. The
same idea prevails in many sections
of the state.

construction materials, ! am strongly
Of the opinion that q million gallon
plant Is as small as is prudent for the
city Of Fatrmont to build. We have
compared Fairmont conditions as 70
prices with those elsewhere with
which we are familiar and estimate
that good substantial plant capable
of giving efficient reliable work IN
purifying the city water supply. but
free from all unnecessary and fancy
construction, would cost about $110,
900, at this time, to which figure
should be added for cortingencies
about is per cent.
To what extent the early future will
show lessening in the cost Of con-
struction is q matter which ! will not
attempt to discuss here, as 1t will de-
pend upon factors which have not yet
been developed, generally speaking,
throughout the country in relation To-.
labor and building materials. ~
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-02-24

UnQuestionably the quality - the
city water supply is unsafe hygienical-
ly and unsatisfactory as regards hard
ness at certain stages. At other stages
the water is turbid, and on occasions
the water shows materially the effect
Of mine drainage.
am firmly of the opinion that this
supply should be subjected to thor
ough publication, as 1t is ct intervals
too polluted to rely on chlorination
alone to say nothing Of the unsuitable
characteristics OF the water other than
as to its sanitary condition.
New Filter Plant.
The old filter plant is not capable,
in my opinion, Of being adapted to do
effective work for water such as It
would be obliged to treat at intervals.
It is perfectly feasible, however, to
save the bulk Of the structures as the
old filter basins, having combined
capacity Of IA million gallons, can be
used for the storage Of filtered water
and advantage can be taken OF the
1900 cubic yards Of sand and gravel
removed from the old beds in the con-
struction of new works. There would
probably be some salvage value to the
wood work removed.
/ recommend the installation Of a
modern mechanical filter plant locat.
ed adjacent to the existing storage res
ervoir on the hill from which It woula
receive clarified water by gravity and
after filtration discharge 1t by gray-
ity into the existing basins built orig
inally for the old slow+sand filter
plant.
Such filter plant should haey IA.
cilities for coagulattng fine clay to
facilitate its complete removal In q
new basin to be built between the
storage reservoir and the filters and
Of a capacity Of about 100000 gallons.
The head house for the storage and
application Of chemicals should be ar
ranged so that soda could be used at
low-water stages for softening the wa
ter when and as required.
T Arrangements should also be made
for chlorinating the water when need
ed.
/ favor the location on the hill for
the new filter plant partly on account
OF taking advantage Of existing struc.
lures there and partly on account Of
the cramped site near the pumping
station.
The average daily quantity OF water
pumped for "a hours for the past four
years has been according to available
records about 3,s75,oO0 gallons. The
introduction Of filtered water, a more
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-02-24

extensive use OF meters and restric-
ton of waste through an over.hauling
of pressure zones, should make 4
million gallon plant capable Of carry
ing an overload when required Of 25
per cent. sufficient for several years
to come. Obviously wastage Of water
will have to be curtailed to prevent
the plant being outgrown in the fairly
early future. From the information at
hand Judge that this is feasible, as 1
see no reason why the city snoula
saev consumption approaching 200
gallons per capita daily.
This filter plant, as above stated,
would be placed between new coagu.
lating and settling basin and the ex-
listing basins formerly used for filter
beds. The latter basin should be put
in a watertight condition to prevent
any impurities reaching the water aft
or filtration.
The present arrangement Of having
the water move through the basement
o fthe reservoir keepers house is not
satisfactory. The house should be
torn down and rebuilt at q place whero
1t cannot hazard the quality Of the wa
ter supply.
We have looked over the plan Of the
existing structures on the reservoir
hill and noted the prices prevailing
last autumn in the Fairmont district
as regards labor and materials. Last
autumn ] was inclined to think from
the data then available that q filter
plant somewhat smaller, than 4 million
gallons might be worth while In view
of all local conditions and circum-
stances. But with the pumpage rec.
,ords which you now quote to me with.
the cessation of military demands for
