The Water Problem
A
:y MISER 40
I
.gain
Yesterday morning tlieie was a
hurry call for the citiens to meet in
the council chamber to once again de
termine what should be done witli the
ever present water problem. This
meeting was called by Dr. Cook who
had been up to the power plant and
found that work on the extension
ditch had boon stopped owing toa rup
ture between the council and mayor,
lie alllrnied his belief and faith in the
present ditch and olVered to buck up
his judgement with a donation to the
oily of S.'OO. F.veryone admired the
Doctor for liis generosity but no one
seemed disposed to allow private
funds to be expended for public ser
vice. Superintendent Kich wis asked
to explain his lludings in icganl to
piping (lie springs to the power house
and lie explained tliat lie bad given
tlio matter careful consideration and
had accurately estimated tlio e.vpemo
necessary to bring t lie springs down
and that g.'t.ouo.ul) would be ample.
Hy using an eight. Inch pipe to start
with and a six inch pipe for the re
mainder of the distance he could de
liver the- water 10 the intake of tlio
water pump and by utilizing the lorce
gained hy ItS feet of fall could reduce
the coal consumption twenty live per
cent.
Ac this time the real dillleulty be
tween the council and maor was pre
sented. It seems from the records
that the council entered into a con
tract with a man by tho name of Nel
siiii to employ him todlg a ditch, lay
pipi anil till same. Work was to
commence August l'.Mh and be com
pleted Sept. 10, HMO. .Said Nelson did
in'l appear until the ,.'!)th of Septem
ber and the council informed him that'
the time had expired and that he
should do no work. His contract was
void. Mayor Potter took it upon him.
self to instruct the contractor to pro
ceed with tlio work. All went well
until ho called upon the city to pro
duce tlio tile necessrtiy for tlio ditch
and this the council refused to furnish.
Mayor Potter claimed that he had re
ceived no notice of tlilB special meet
ing of the council but tlio city records
showed that a written notice hud been
left tit his usual place of business mid
that the city clerk had notified the
mayor of the meeting by telephone.
An adjournment was then takon to
four o'clock.
Promptly lit. that hour the citizens
-.omhlcd in Hie commercial club
rooms to further consider I he problem.
History repeated itself and all the
theories were present as to faith in
water being found somewhere in tlio
neighborhood of the present system.
Superintendent. Kich again his llud
ings as to tlio cost of piping tiio
springs. Mayor Potter asserted that
the present ditch was exactly the plan
which Dr. Condra advocated when he
visited tliis place last spring but it
was conclusively shown that tli plan
as laid down by Dr. Condra was laid
one sido and the present plan substi
tuted. Whereupon the mayor stated
that lie was under the impression that
ke liad been following tlieorgimil plau
As tho letter of Dr. Condra ws on
file, a motion was made instructing
the chair to appoint a committee of
three to net with Superintendent Kich
which committee was to determined
whether or not tho geologists ideas
wore being carried out.
At this time a motion was made to
sound the opinion of those present as
to whether tlioy favored tlio extension
of tlio present system or the piping of
tho springs und tlio voto resulted in
twenty-seven for the springs and
throe against.
A committee was then appointed to
present a petitiou to the council ask
ing that bonds bo voted to bring tho
springs down and forever settle, this
question.
