may prove Of some assistance u

vexed problem of an improved
water supply for Wauseon:

bo state why he ignored this up

1919 to the waterworks Board, show

of the above article is respectfully

During these studies it became
manifest that the excessive cost bt
several of the sources of supply
would eliminate from serious con.

Disapproved.

Turkey Foot and at the Big Ditch,
were not included in the earlier re-
pert, but instead were both included
in the Supplemental report of Sept.
1919. They are known and referr-

cost $212,S77.28, and $142,450.00 re-

because of the cost, leaving projects

2. The first part of Mr.. Sher-
mans general report of March, 1919
" discouragement to Wauseon to
depend upon supply of water from
deep wells" "This is in
sharp contrast to his published
jomments, now urging the retention
of the wells and the up-ground re-
servoir." COMMENTS: We be-
lieve all the statements in the pre-
kminary report as to the gradual

been advocates of an exclusive well

We have maintained and still do so

therefore cannot qualify as a witness
except as to the conditions on the
21st day of Feb. last, when there was
a fair sized stream of water flowing
in the Big Ditch.
4. The waterworks system Of
Wauseon was at that time (18S9)
approved by the State Board of
Health. COMMENTS: We think this
is a mistatement, and that the State
Board was not actively functioning
in the approval or disapproval IF
water supplies at that time.
5. Will he (Sherman) give this
town surety bond for one-third of
the amount it will cost to build the
waterworks plant covering that
time (25 years) as a partial indem-
nifty against loss should his plan
fail to give the amount of water
required by the town and her in
dustries. COMMENT: 1t will be
noted that the author of the article
In question suggests guarantee
from the engineer without a con-
sideration, an insurance without a
premium, something for nothing,
which of course is contrary to bus-
sess usage. 1t would be like asking
lawyer to guarantee the outcome of
law suit, or the doctor to guaran-
fee a sure cure. We as engineers,
like the members of the other pro-
fessions, cffer the public our SER
vices and the benefit of our know
ledge and experience, the only thing
we have to offer. We are not urging
the adoption of our suggestions or
recommendations 1t is our province
simply to assist the Board in the
solution cf the water supply problems
TO the best of our ability and that
we are, trying to do in the present
instance. The Board itself is free
agent for the Village.
6. He (Sherman) omitted an ex-
planation of why the waterworks
board abandoned the Turkey Foot
project. COMMENTS: We think
the official resolution of the Board
passed unanimously on the 18th day
Of Oct. 1919 fully answers this. It
reads.
