CITY WATER SUPPLY FOR
HENRY CLAY SECTION

Directors of the Board of Water
Commissioners at their meeting this
morning received n communica ton
from the Town Commissioners of Els
mere asking what this city could offer
in the way OF plan to supply this
suburb with city water. The PROPOSE
ton was referred to the departments

nit n report to the Board at a later

Elsmere at present gets its drink
ing water mostly from wells ard many
of these are said to be polluted or con-
taminated by the surface drainage or
the proximity of other wells. To ex-
tend the city service TO Elsmere would
cost several thousand dollars but the
residents Of that place naturally would
be expected TO defray this expense. In
the event Of their willingness to dc
this il is understood the Water Beard
members will be willing to see tha,
they are supplied with city water
which has a reputation Throughout
this section of the country for it's pur-
ity.
The Water Board has also s-c:1e6
to extend the city water servica Il
the Henry Clay section so that the res
idents there. especially of Brecks Ian,
will not have to use the we'll and res
ervofr water now served them an(

ter test TO be full Of typhoid fevel
germs. A recommendation that thi
be done was made to the Board some
time ago by the city health officials
There are many legal phases in con
nection with the agreements that vii
have to be drawn up before the cit.
service can be extended TO Henry Cla,
but these are now in process Of com
pletion. This extension will be mad
on a basis of the usual rates charge,
by the Water Board for service beyon
the city limits.

and a holiday the board will meet Of
Friday afternoon next or Saturda
morning, according 10 the convenienc
Of the members Of the board.
