WATER PROBLEM is AGAIN
UP BEFORE COUNCIL
Special Meeting Held Wednesday Fore
noon and Thursday Evening.
State Sanitary Engineer
Here.

W nat 10 90 ABOUT the wafer pro-
blem in Hurley is again before tne
citycouncil a sPecialmeetilg ofthe
city fathers was called atJI O'Clock
Wednesday forenoon and another
meeting was held Thursday even
ing for the purpose Of discussing
the matter
At the regular monthly meeting
of the council held on Sept s, w
]. Hodgins of the Hurley Water
company appeared before the
council and talked water with the
councilmen. The most important
thing brought out by the visit Of
Mr.. Hodgins was his assertion that
the company intended to go before
the state railroad commission and
ask for an increase of rates, claim
ing that the company can no longer
afford to furnish water to the city
and It's consumers at the present
rates. An advance of 63 per cent
will be asked for, it is said.
The present agreement with the
Hurley Water company expires on
the I4th of next month. Some
thing must be done before that
time, hence the activity of the
councilmen. The Hurley Water
company has made known that it
would sell its equipment in Hurley
to the city, in fact it may be said
thai il wishes to unload on the city.
The proposition to sell was made
to the city a year ago. At that
time it first came up before the
council, but no action was taken.
Now the matter is up again and no
decision reached.
Early last spring when the water
problem was taken up by the Conf
mercial Club there was strong sen.
timeut in favor of the city acquir-
ing its own water works and Lake
Lavina wa talked of as source of
supply. Samples of the lake water
were sent TO Madison for analysis
with the result that the water was
declared as unfit for domestic
use, hence Lake Lavina as a source
OF supply was eliminated, The
question then became dormant.
Wednesday forenoon session of
the council was called for the pur-
pose of listening to remarks by Z.
J. Gully, geologist and engineer
connected with the state sanitary
board who came to Hurley on an
inspection trip and to consult with
DR., c. c. Urquhart, local health
officer. Some interesting informa-
ton was gathered from Mr.. Cully's
remarks, who advised the council
to go slow in the matter and not
lake any definite action until it
has been thoroughly investigated
and sifted out. He advised against
The city attempting to develop a
source at this time and did not
favor buying the equipment of the
water company at this time as
giving il as his opinion
that it would be better for the city
to take short term lease on the
than to 60 ahead and
buy it outright. In the afternoon
Mr.. Gully visited Lake Lavina and
also the Ironwood water works
plant and the new source of supply
which is under development at
Spriuk Greek north of Ironwood.
A short session marked the meet
lug OF the council Thursday ever
ing with the result that a committee
was appointed 10 confer with the
of the Hurley Water com
pany and report at the next meet
ing OF the council.
