It is estimated the new basin will cost in the neighborhood of $35,000, Atkinson said, and the city expects | to obtain 45 per cent from the PWA. The remaining $15,000 or $16,000 will come from the waterworks depart- ment’s cash funds, the manager said. Atkinson gave a brief review of the growth of the waterworks department during the 12 years it has been op- erated by the city. Voted Two Bond Issues In 1923, he said, the city voted two general bond issues for purchase of the plant, one totaling $225,000 to be retired from 1924 to 1943, inclusive, and the other totaling $235,000, to be retired from 1934 to 1943, inclusive. In addition, he said, special assess- ment warrants in the amount of $200,000 were issued for purchase of six-inch distribution mains.

During that period rates have been reduced ay proximately 35 per cent. Whereas production of 225,000,000 gallons was' large for 1923, the plant produced nearly 400,000,000 gallons in 1934, At- kinson said. Last July, he said, pro- duction was 60,000,000 gallons while in one day of that month total pro- duction reached 2,500,000 or 250,000 gallons more than the plant's rated capacity.. .
