likewise will be aided through
patronage from those or the main
land who desire To take advantage
of the many camping and beach

Summer homes on the peninsula
will become more popular. Many

Heavy Users
Of Water
Pulp Mills Consume
Greet Quontities

Il requires 20. 900. 900 gallons Of
water a day to supply Taeomas
two pulp mills, and II would re-
qaire 20.07a persons paying an
average residential flat rate of
S1.25 per month to equal the rev.
enue this pulp industry brings to
the municipal water department.
These r figures supplied by
Supt W. A kunigk. veteran en-
gineer and director of the city's
water supply.
Taeoma's total water consump-
ton increased from 40, 323, 900 gal
Ions per day average in 1885 to
<2.290,6s2 gallons daily in 1889.
Wettest Day Aug. .
The very wettest water supply
Gay last year was August Q when
the city received from its gravity
and well systems a total of 63.-
10000 gallons in "a hours.
However, industry "a consume
water at a faster rate of growth
than may be expected from pop
ulation growth and it is to the
pulp mill figures that kunigk
turns for inspiration as to what
may happen this year.

did not get into harness until
about Dec, /. Yet these two
plants last year consumed 503,-
2s4,000 cubic feet of water and
paid the city s52.317.5 So for it.
Revenue Growing
Manufacture of wood pulp for
paper-making and rayon is as near
a continuous operation as industry
a show. On the basis of $40
days operation this year, Kunigk
estimates the pulp mill revenue to
the water department Will reach
close to $4,000. That is ~conserva-
tive. as it is based on a $4,000, 900
gallon daily demand for the st.
Regis plant and a 5000, 900 daily
demand for Rayonier = amounts
which both mills are exceeding
right now. Actually they're using
about 10000, 900 gallons total daily
average now, st. Regis about 16,-
600, 600 and Rayonier about
1000. 900.
With n mill operating only one
month in 1899, the pulp industry
here consumed SOB, 2s4,0 900 cubic
feet of city water in the year.
Since there are Ia gallons of
water to the cubic foot, simple
arithmetic places the total mill
consumption last year at 37,746.-
100000 gallons-quite a little
ocean In itself.
