Reconstruction of Water Reservoir Will Cost $10,000 Reconstruction work that will cost at least $10,000 nnd require six weeks to com pletn has been begun on the Falrmount park reservoir of tho city wnler plant. Material to tho amount of over $4,000 has been ordered. The Improvement will add about 1,000,000 gallons to the storngo capacity of tho reservoir. The plans were maris a year ago by Chairman Jensen nnd Superintendent Etnyre, but It was not the Intention to execute them this year, until the rather unsafe condition of tho reservoir became manifest und required Immediuto work. The reflervolr Is located on the hills nearly 300 feet above tho mall, part of the city. It was scoopud partly out of tho hlllsldn and completed by an arti ficial embankment nearly 100 feet high and at least 100 feet thick at the base. Tho whole basin Is to bo given a lining of reinforced concrete six Inches thlcK and a concrete coping constructed around the rim, raising It two feet higher than tho top of the present and adding four feet to tho mean depth of the water. Tho brick bottom has been tnken up wherever there uppears to be cracks and nil of tho soft mud Is being removed. The deep trenches thus innrio aro being filled with fresh gumbo. Whllo the basin Is not In use pressure In the water mains will bo maintained by keeping tho pumps slowly moving day and night. This will cause no Incon venience to tho public. PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT SHOWS ADDED INTEREST The thirty-first annual report of tho publlo library has been filed for record In tho city building. It Includes tho re port of tho trustees as well as that of the librarian, Miss Iono Armstrong. Tho report shows that the receipts from all sources during tho last year totaled $9,127.01. This added to a bal ance carried over from the previous year of $7,227.91 gave a grand total of $16,401.04. Tho total expenditures for the year, beginning December 31, 1911, and ending January 1, 1913, amountod to $11,077.96, leaving a net balance on hand at tlwi beginning of tho present year of $5,327.04. The detailed report of the expendi tures shows that $2,901.09 was for re pairs and Improvements; J2.7&0 was paid out as salaries to the library staff; $1, 796.69 wob expanded for new books; $C06.S0 for rebtndlng and $257.25 was paid for periodicals. Although $1,79C.5U was palri for new books, numbering 1,8)7 volumes In ad dition to forty-seven books that were donated during tho year, the net gain In the number of volumes was only 150. This was duo to the fact that titers were 1,547 old books so badly worn that they had to be withdrawn. The total nutnbor of books of all kinds at the. beginning of the year was 32,054. At the beginning of the year there were 6,917 book-takers cards outstanding, nil of which had been Issued for n period of five years. The total circulation of the books for tho year was 90,077, a decreaso of 33S from the preceding year. This apparent decrease Is due to the fact of tho exten sion of the library work In the publlo hchools, where tho reports show that each book thus placed was read on an average of twenty times. The libra rian says that no collection In tho library Is so diligently read as those sent to the public ftohools. There has been sent to the Avenue B sohoo.1 458 books; Twentieth avenue building. 427 volumes; Thirty-second street school, S01; Harrison street school, 150; Second avenue building, twenty-five, and twenty-five volumes have been sent to tho country school. There were added during the year 1,918 new readers, which Is 251 greater than the total number of new books added. The children are shown to be the great est booktakers, they being responsible for 52 per cent of all of the books taken from the library during the entire year, and 23 jier cent of the total circulation Is due to tho work being done by the oliildren In the schools The trustees acknowledge the gift of $500 from the N. P. Dodge estate, whloh was provided for In his will. Itentals of books to thj amount of $313.30 Is cred ited to the general recupts. MnrrliiKr I.lcr imra.

PUTS CASE IN FEDERAL COURT Rent Rrntipolnteil Rrcclvrr of Com pany nitil Directed to I'ruarcnlr PrndhiK Knits In the Stntr Court. Notwithstanding opposition on the part of Receiver Freeman K Reed, the Iowa Socially company ytBterday was declared bankrupt In the federal court after a hearing before Judge Smith Me Pherson. But Judge MePhrrson leap pointed Mr. Heed rccilvor and directed him to prosecute ponding suits In tho stato court, ono for $50,000 against C. M. Atherton nnd tho officers and board of directors of the Western Mutual Life In suranco company, and another for $IX.OOO agnlnst tho former nnd present directors and officers of tho security company. Tho bankruptcy proceedings therefore will havo. no other effect than to trans for tho final distribution of tho proceeds of tho receivership from ths state to tho federal court. Rood was appointed receiver by Judge Thorncll In tho district court two months ago and was directed by the court to Institute the suits mentioned Whllo tho application for tho appoint ment of a receiver was pending the de funct security company claimed to huvu passed through some process of reorgan ization, and Mvlvllln D. Thomas, an Omaha accountant, who had been em ployed for two years as Its auditor, was made president. When the receiver was appointed and tho suits started, Thomas, through his attorneys, filed an Involun tary petition In bankruptcy, nlloglng that tho security company was Indebted to him to ths amount of $500 for unpaid services, nnd two other members of the company claiming as due them small no counts which had been assigned to thum. On April 2 Thomas, Charles Schroeder. J. O. Bhlnn. Christian Flssel and W. C. Hayword. officers of ths ro crganued management, filed a voluntary petition In bankruptcy. This petition was not considered In the proceedings yes terday. The total liabilities are scheduled at $20,284.13, and arc alleged to consist of secured claims amounting to $13,960.fi0, taxes duo the county and tlty to the amount of $2,874.09, nnd unsecured claims approximating $3,845.22. Of these claims $1,700 Is alleged to bo due C. M. Ather ton, who organised the compuny and manipulated It while It was dispensing nearly $200,000 of money paid In by sub scribers for capital stock. The total as sets are .fixed now at $9,079.30. Of this there Is only .$150 In cash and $8,000 Is rep resented by a lot on Pearl street opposite Buyllss park, upon which ther was at ono time mortgages approximating con siderably above that figure, but which are said to havo been taken up or as sumed In some manner. Among the assets la also scheduled ths famous agency contrnct with tho Mutual Insurance company, which has always been claimed to have a value nf $01.0iX, In tho assets Its value Is placed at $500. In this voluntary petition tho state ment Is made that $1M42 was loaned to agents and Is now a loss. In the receiver's report thtro was listed $5,000 worth of bills receivable, consist ing entirely of promissory notes. In the bankruptcy petition this nset was flxod at $250. When Attorney J. J.
