with the determination to put in {
water system or find out that it coult
not be done. The main part of the
work and study was conducted by
the water committee consisting of ]
j. Quillan, Neil F. Boyle and H. c.
| Tavey. After some months of in
vestigation and at the time that Mr.
Quillan became city clerk, the per-
sonnet of the water committee was
changed to Neil F. Boyle, c. G. Clark
and H. c. Tavey. This committee
has borne the brunt of the work and
study of the water question, but they
have reported often to the council
and the committee of the whole have
had multitude of sessions on the
subject. Every reasonable phase Of
the water situation has been can
vassed and by process of elimina-
ton, the study was conferred down
to the plan of pumping from deep
wells drilled into the lava beds with
which the whole valley is underlaid,
pumping it by electric power into
the main, and having an auxiliary
gasoline engine to be resorted to in
case the electric power failed them.
New Site Desirable
The old site of the water system
was near one end of the town. Not
being centrally located, it was nee
essary to use some long lines of large
pipes to get the water to the center
of town for distribution. On this &C
count it was thought that it might
be better to select a new site and
first it was thought that the city park
might be the right place. The en-
gineers studied the situation and it's
distance from the center of town and
what was likely to be the center of
town in the future and reported that
it would cost $4,000 more to have
the wells and pumphouse at the city
park than to have it at the site which
has since been selected on North Ash
street and it would cost $4,000 more
FOR the large pipes connecting with |
The old site than with the new site |
which was ultimately selected.
Bought the New Site
The council finally bought one
block Of land, ESQ by 270 feet in ex-
,ent on the west side or north Ash
street for $4,000. The plan calls for
| great quadrangle nearly on the old
'lans made several years ago for the
distribution of the water, the new
ystem and SO much of the old sys-,
EN- as shall remain untouched.
Two Kinds Of Pipes
Two kinds of pipe have been
lnder consideration all the time.
The heavy cast iron and the thin
teel pipe, known as Mathieson Joint,
he steel pipe is about one-tenth of
n inch in thickness and is galvan-
zed. 1t is not much heavier than
ne galvanized iron pipes that are
sed for culverts and bridging. For
