Now, with the guns long silenced, with the final details of peace treaties in process of adjustment between the once belligerent nations, it becomes the imperative duty of this, as well as every other growing muncipality, to turn with energy and zeal to the home problems of reconstruction, for even though no invading forces wrought actual damage, our of necessity became progress and yelcpansion checked when we.diverted so large a share of our timeAriergy and money to patriotic service. The era of reconstructi?n, is in a sense, more difficult to handle than the period of participation in a great and common world cause for the uplift of humanity, for It licks the'etimulus and the incentive of combat against an impending universal calamity. It Is to be faced only by a comprehension that no opportunity that before existed. has been destroyed. that our resources are all here. that 'bur strength has not been depleted by anything that we hay,' contritsuted, that we are destined to grim, sand that the essential element in any city's groWth lies largely in performing the duties of the Present with an eye ever to the future. and in a broad way a CONSIDERING briefly vital problems that the city must face and should Po ve during the years of IS20 and 1921, it seems that the rinestion, of an adequate water supply undoubtedly takea prece-- p dance.

It is clear to every citizen who has given the matter careful study that Salt Lakes attempts in recent years to solve the water problem have been more in the nature of temporary expedients than an earnest effort to build for the future. Vast sums of money have been expended for the augmentation of the city's water supply, but it is a matter of common knowledge that almost by the time that the work 'outlined had been done, sometimes even before it was completed, the natural growth of the city,,clespite the handicap, had passed beyond the needs figured upon. and so the municipality was again forced to take up the question and in some way devime another temporary rnesns of tiding over the shortage. steps so. far taken toward the installation of water meters on extensive scale are in a measure commendable. but this can by no means be said to offer even a prospective solution of the iprobArm. NVe Inuat work on a broader basis and make certain thnt we have water in abundnnce before time and money in an effort to make, deficiency appear to be sufficiency. It is poor policy to urge upon citizens the benefits to be derived from turning tneir back fards into gardens - to- help ,b.alance, the high,,ethst, of living and then in midst.mmer be 'obliged to deny them water for thee gardens, thus making their work a comnlete loss. It.cre are three sources from which, in the op!;.icr. of qualified experts. Salt Lake can secure an acr.Ple and permanent supply of waler; through a. syst-sof tunnels that will develop deev diergruund iprings in the nearby mountains; through the construction of great storage reservoirs that will conserve POMO of thesurface the spring and early waters now. wanted during -summer; through the- securing of tt flow from source and its diversio'n to some.a more remote , . . point convenient for distribution. I will not attempt at this time to inter into A, discussion of the relative merits of these plans. " Commisstoner C.
