Sioux City-Much new machinery
expensive and modern in every re-
spect, was installed at the pumping
station OF the city water department
recently. The station is surrounded by
a good substantial residence district
built up largely since the pumping
plant was established many years
ago. Now the city is threatened with
suit for $12,5O0 because the ma
chinery recently installed makes so
much noise that residents of the i'm
mediate neighborhood can not sleep
al night and property has decreased In
value" according to Walter Beggs,
who charges, that property he could
have sold for $4,000 a few years ago
will now not bring more than $1250O
and all because of the noise made by
the plant.
