WATER VERY LOW.

Yesterday afternoon in company
with superintendent Allen W. went
out to the pumping station on Con-
tentnea Creek from which Wilson
secures it's water supply, and found
that we are using about all the water
that is coming down the creek. At
the point of intake the water is not
more than foot deep, and it was
even lower than that, before Mr..
Flowers agreed to release the nor
NAL flow of the stream from his
pond up the creek which he is now
doing. = <s@sHW4
Unless there is rain in a very
few days the supply of water may be
$50 low that our people will be called
upon to conserve the water as much
as possible. 1t would not hurt to
begin to do so any way. OF course
Contentnea Creek is normally a large
stream and draws water from a large
area, but this dry season is straining G
the creek to it's capacity in view of
the fact that we are pumping around
100000 gallons per day
There is one feature, of the situa-
tion however that promises relief
The daily times., 1921-08-25

provided we have rain within short
while, and that is the fact that the
dam at the power plant near the
bridge a section of which has been
left open to allow the water to run
by in order not to interfere with the
work OF placing the turbines will be
closed within about two weeks. and
this will allow the conservation of
the water. and insure a supply which
will last probably two months in the
dryeat season.
According to those who have been
Nv ing around the mill nearly all their
lives this is the dryest season within
their recollection and the creek is
ne lowest. At the pumping plant fur
ther up the creek. the stream has
been damned to hold the water. and
the water is probably three feet be-
low the top of this dam and only
about three feet deep in the lowest
part of this pond.
| When the power plant at the mill
is finished, the maximum amount of
power will be around 700 horse pow
er. There are three turbines, and it
Twill be possible to operate either
\ one at the time or all three at the
thine according to the requirement, or
| the height of the water. The capacity
of the city power plant is around L.
500 horse power and when the peak
of the load is being carried there is
little to spare. During the night after
about ten o'clock 700 horse power
will be amply sufficient to take the
load so it will be easily understood
that the subsidiary power at the
creek will be very helpful, and it is
reasonable to suppose, that no matter
what happens. short of fire, earth
quake and floods, Wilson will always
be able to command all the power re-
Iquired to light the city and pump the
water for the town.
There has been some talk of plac-
ing swimming pool at the creek. On
the other side there is an acre of
ground that if cleaned up would
could be made the basis of a cement
bottom. Iron posts in the cement
with heavy wire stretched around
these would admit of the water and
thrash going through and keep the
swimmers inside the basin.
This could be built very cheaply
land the general public would have
place to swim. The city could give
some one concession to sell re-
freshments on the place, and clothe
the same party with police powers
for the purpose of preserving ORDER.
The pond after completion offers an
ideal place for boating bathing and
fishing. The pond should be stocked
J with fish and these should be protect
ed as far as possible from nets
The dam is very substantial. 1t is

wash it away, even I'm the highest
