Show ECONOMIC PROBLEM the water that overflows the reservoirs during the spring and summer amounts to no small item it is used in the cemetery true but because of inadequate facilities the benefits are not very great for a little expense the city could construct an overflow reservoir at the foot of the hill into which all the overflow water could h be gathered and then by adding a little more expense for piping the trenches would not have to be over a couple of feet deep the water could be piped to the city cemetery to the court house and city grounds to the 0 S L depot to 10 supply water for the grounds there and the water tank and could even be used in making more of the unsightly parks in the city look beautiful this would be an individual system for the purposes enumerated above the same to be in operation during toe summer months and in the winter when there is an all abundance of water the overflow could be permitted to run down into the creek this thought is not original but was suggested by one of our prominent citizens its a good one worth acting upon for this is an age of conservation |
