AWARD of the contract for
three additional pumps
for the South Tacoma well
system is a tribute to the
judgment of those citizens
who were responsible for the
installation of the first two
wells 80 years ago. With the
support of The Times they
forced a reluctant city council
to adopt plan proposed by
w. S. McConihee, consulting
engineer, to tap the great
sheet of water which lies
under the prairie. 1t was Ia
coma's first effort to get
away from the Clover creek
supply to which was sttrib-
uted an increasing number Of
cases of typhoid fever.
Besides an unexplainable
opposition from various
sources, a series of mishaps de-
layed completion of the prof.
ect. When the pumps finally
were started, one of the en-
gineers, unfamiliar with that
type of equipment. undertook
to facilitate operations by
oiling the pressed leather
gears. An hour later they
were reduced 10 pulp and we
used Glove creek water
again for ten days. Though
not as economical as the grav-
ity system, the South Tacoma
water plant has served Ia
coma well. The suppl seems
