Address by Engineer
The address Of the occasion was
given by w G. Kirchoffer, Madison.
a consulting engineer and former
resident of Baraboo. His work is
voter supplies for cities, sewage dis

Of waste at certain manufacturing
plants. In order to be a consulting
engineer at the present time one
must be well versed in geology, BAG
| tereology, chemistry politics, law, and
| finance. He spoke of the difference
in the methods of obtaining water
in the southern part of the state from
the northern, on account Of the diff

obtain water for cities here is a
comparatively easy problem in com
parison to the northern counties
Shoot the Wells
He advised those present that
if the supply in their wells was not
sufficient to "shoot" them-discharge
dynamite at the bottom. This would
create crevices in the rock and add
to the amount of water available.
1 The use of air was the most ap
proved method of purifying the wa
ter coming from sewage disposa
plants and doubted if better method
would soon be found. In reducing
the waste from cities to harmless
