allotment of 1,623 tons of steel and
authority to carry the water pipe.
lime to Kings Bluff, where the
water intake will be unfailingly
fresh, the City council has issued
a statement on the history of the
question and has vowed to "pur-
sue efforts to obtain construction
OF the entire line and make every
effort to insure fresh water sup
ply for the City of Wilmington. .
1t is anticipated that WPB will
file its decision, through the Fed
eral Warks Agency, early this
week
The following is memoran-
dunn statement of efforts made to
consummate construction of the
Kings Bluff line, as prepared by
city officials:
I'm October, 1910, the water
from the Cape Fear river avail
able to the City of Wilmington
at its TONERS Creek intake be-
came salt and unsuitable for drink
ing purposes, and the City auth
critics promptly began their eff
forts looking to provide a suitable
source of water. During the month
of October. 1910 after an extern
sive investigation was made, the
City agreed to employ William c.
Olsen, Consulting Engineer, who
had more than Is years experience
in surveying and determining
water sources of supply. In No
vember, 1910, Mr.. Olsen began
al extensive survey and study of
all available sources of water sup
Fly, including ground water, and
his survey covered examination
of all creeks, rivers and streams
within a radius of approximately
40 miles of the City of Whining
ton. At the same time he worked
in conjunction with David G.
Thompson, Consulting Engineer
and an expert on ground water
supply, then associated with the
United States Geodetic Survey,
and upon completion of these sur
veys and studies Mr.. Olsen made
his formal reports to the City Of
ficials in April, 1941. Mr.. Olsen
concluded and recommended that
the City should construct pipe
line to take water from the Cape
Fear river at a point just above
Kings Bluff Lock and Dam on
said river. and that if the City
would construct such pipe line
this source of supply would as
sure soft water and fresh water at
all times which void be suitable
for all purposes.
Upon the coming in of this re-
port construction of the shipyard
and construction of facilities at
Camp Davis had been begun and
we're underway, and as result of
the expansion which would follow
it became necessary for the City

filter plant to take the place of
its inadequate and very old filter
plant, and accordingly Mr.. Olsen
was instructed to prepare plans
and specifications for new filter
plant, which he did, and his report,
with plans and specifications, was
made in early May, 1941. There
after and upon the coming into
office of the City Council on May
81. 1941, the Olsen reports and
plans and specifications were
again given detailed study and
