your order I 1 went to price accompanied by the mayor water superintendent 6 and depres representatives enta tives of each of the two newspapers I 1 visited the present reservoir and the site of the proposed new reservoir the present dirt reservoir is old and not what it should bo be I 1 understand that dead dogs were pulled out of it it is impossible to clean a dirt and mud reservoir even if dirt is scraped out and water run off the present reservoir voir is is 1 expos exposed ed to contaminations and mud I 1 is i s washed into it from melting snow and rain several parts of price city cannot be sup 1 bied lied 1 with with 0 water waler llie present a A L system 1 I heartily approve of the site of the new reservoir as that will give price not only an increased am amount aunt of

miles I 1 found them to be but 96 feet while I 1 do not want lo 10 po go into details in this article the of the sun was easily convinced that the article he published lish ed was incorrect a As s the city of price will have a fair income from selling water to ne neighboring towns the argument ai against the reservoir from a financial point are not well founded alma greenwood water it
