on Thursday reported that all

country having received copious
rains the past week.

NEW CITY ENGINEER.

The municipal plant has been
behaving very badly of late and
Wickenburg people have been
without electric lights for sew
eral day. Gasoline and kerosene
lights have been requisitioned
under difficulties, while the
water supply in hydrants has
been quite uncertain. Some
times there was water and again
in a few hours it was off. This
condition has occasioned consider
able comment, resulting in the re-
signation of A. E. Davis, city
engineer who has been replaced
by Mr.. Gilbert Kellis who is al
ready officially in charge. The
auxiliary pump down by the
river has been working intermit-
tently but without apparent abil-
ity to supply all the water needed.
Abundance of evidence is accu-
mulating that the capacity of the
municipal electric and water
plant has been overtaxed and it
is only a question of time when
new installations are necessary.
However. on Thursday the plant
was again in commission, and
the dread which accompanied the
break down has subsided.

visit to the place with a view
of determining it's true character.
