Since Ogden City purchased the water works system from private parlies nenrly 'two years ago the property has been a paying investment invest-ment as shoAn by the regular re-ports re-ports or the water works department. depart-ment. The system has been of sufficient suf-ficient proportions for the needs of the people of the city until the past lew months when the steady growth in population has demanded that the water mains be extended into various sections ofi the city wiu-ro buildings are going1 up After the completion of the mammoth new reservoir the city authorities have toine to the conclusion that another conduit must be built from Cold Water canyon to the reservoir nnd extended from the reservoir to the distributing system.
