Grandfather Was Right.

Grandfather had been down town all
day. staying rather late on account Of
whist party. Consequently. he did
not know the dressmaker was staying
overnight. The following morning he
went around waking his daughters, as
was his custom when feeling unusual
ly fine by singing and telling them the
time of the day. When he went into
one of his daughters rooms he noticed
she was playing possum" with the
covers over her head. So with much
custo, singing "'POn my word. It's q
lady" he threw the covers back. 1t
WAS lady, the poor dressmaker, not
his young daughter. Grandfather left
for town before the dressmaker came
down.-Exchange

WISDA REPORTS ON WATER SYSTEM

to Rawlins. examining each indivi-
dual length of earth, hard pan and
solid rock as ] came to it, l have
come to the conclusion hat Mr.. Nc
Mechen has been very careful in
drawing his lines between the various
classifications and that he has been
very fair to both the contractor, Mr..
Helmar. and to the City of Rawlins,
in his decisions.
The contract between the City of
Rawlins and Mr.. Helmar specifies
that Mr.. Helmar shall be paid rs
cents per loot for earth excavation
to the required depth and $3.50 per
foot for solid rock. Mr.. McMechen
has allowed $500 per foot for in
~termediate materials, which, | feel,
is just both to the city and to the
contractor. The aggregate lengths
of intermediate materials exceeds
hat as shown by the estimates OF
the Weiland Engineering Co., but
since no intermediate classification
is specified in the contract this ag-
| gregate distance has been reduced
o%ne-third and paid for at the solid
rock price.
Some criticism has been offered
regarding certain portions of the
main line which have not been laid
TO the depth as specified in the con.
tract. 1t is a fact that in a few in
stances 1t has not been laid to the

proper depth but this is due to the
fact tina rock or hard a was en-
countered a few inches above the
specified depth of the trench and
the removal of same would have ne
cessitated the expenditure of an un-
reasonable amount of additional
money. Owing to the great velo-
city of spring water through the
pipe there will be no danger from
frost at these points.
A question has arisen as to wheth-
err or not the City of Rawlins has re-
ceived full value for money which
has been expended on the system to
date. In answer to this will say that
I am convinced that we have. The
contract called for about 30 miles
OF earth e~xcavated at 25 cents per
foot and about 5000 lineal feet OF
solid rock at s1.50 per foot. 1t also
called for a wood pipe sufficient to
carry n pressure OF 40 feet about 80
miles in length. The line as 1t is
being constructed has a total length
OF about 80 miles with about &c
miles earth and approximately six
miles of solid rock. and the pine will
have practically twice the pressure
as contemplated. which will require
practically twice the number Of bands
as proposed in the original estimate.
In addition to the extra rock work
and extra bands the City saw fit to
install several thousand dollars
worth of additional cast pipe and
many additional fittings which were
not included in the contract.
Investigated the monthly reports
or estimates. as compiled by the
Weiland Engineering company and
found that complete records OF all
materials. excavation, and other
construction have been made and
kept. and that these monthly esti-
mates show the amount of material
on hand and amount OF construction
which has been completed at the
end of each month. These esti.
mates probably seem to.be confus-
Ing at first glance. but after making
a thorough investigation OF them
found them to be very complete.
Should the Board wish an explana'
ton of any particular item I fee
that l am sufficiently familiar with
the estimates to make m explnna
ton desired.
