much more water.
The third suggestion was that this
city should employe an hydraulic en-.
gineer to come here and go over
the proposition in detail and point
out the things that need to be done
TO add to the capacity Of the line.
The fourth suggestion is that a dam
should by all means be built to i'm
pound water, so that greater sup.
ply can be held in reserve and for
the further reason that the i'm.
pounded water would add to the
flow Of water through the line.
The fifth suggestion is to install
a gauge at Caddo creek so the pres
sure of the line could always be de-
termined.
An attorney skilled in municipal
law has made the suggestion that
plans and specifications and esti
mates of dam should first be made
then the city is authorized to ar
range for funds TO build the dam
on account OF the condition Of the
municipal bond market it will be
necessary that local people take
the bonds and furnish the money
to be used in dam construction

will be a demand for more water thar

the city could arrange to have noun
