WATER SURVEY
IS CONDUCTED
BY ENGINEER
Accompanies Water Committee
of Oakland City Council on In
spectiOn Tour of This Area

A survey of the possibilities of an
improved water supply for Oakland
was undertaken on Tuesday, but
definite recommendation will not be
forthcoming until the water engineer
has had time to study the data ac-
quired in his inspection trip, it was
learned from Mayor A. G. Hesen
yesterday.
d. E. Davis, of the Chester En-
gineers, Pittsburgh, met with the
Water committee of the Oakland City
Council and they made trip oven
the area which included an inspection
of Harrington Manor lake, the
Youghiogheny river, both at the
Power House at Sines and nearer
Oakland; the Little Youghiogheny
river, Landon's dam near Mt Lake
Park, from which the latter town
gets its water supply; Broadford
Kings Run, Wilson Creek, and the
present water farm just west of town
While not definitely committing
himself, Mr.. Davis termed it mad
visable to drill any more wells in the
water farm area for fear of draining
the present supply, and he termed
the Mt. Lake Park water supply toe
limited for both towns. He pointed
out to Mayor Icsen and other mem
bers of the committee that at present
prices it would cost from $4,000 to
$2S,000 per mile to lay or 10 inch
pipe from any source. Other members
of the committee on the inspection
trip were Earl Shartzer, Edward
Schmidt and Harry L. Stemple.
Mr., Davis, who was in Oakland ten
years ago when he supervised the
erection of the towns second rcser-
voir, said he was surprised at the
growth of Oakland and said that the
water situation was a serious one
over the entire country.
He told committee members there
appeared to be more water in the
Broadford area than any other place
inspected. a detailed report with
recommendations will be made soon

The water situation in Oakland re-
manned serious but there was a
slight gain in the reserve supply in
