THOMPSON'S IDEAS ENGINEER ome Other People-Me Thinks @ Waste of At public " the meeting of the board of works to be held this after- n, it is stated that City Engineer Thompson will present a proposl- tion to increase the quantities of all materials heretofore enumerated tn the p! and specifications for the Cedar river water supply system, so | that the amount of water carried to | Swan lake will be 50,000,000 gallons |per days. It t# maid that Mr, Thompson ha: lmany times expre 4 the opinion | that this would be wasting at least $126,000 of the city's money. ‘The |rensons hy gives for thin belief are said to be: First, That under ordin- jance 29% the pressure pipe to be Jearried to the city is limited to for- ty-two inches diameter, Second, That this principal pipe ning directly from Cedar river to the city will deliver more water than if (t t* firet discharged in- to Swan lake and then taken out again, because Swan lake is below |the hydraulic grade line. This for- ty-two inch pipe has always been spoken of delivering about 25,- 000,000 gallons per day, When speak- ing to the elty counctl, Mr. Thomp- son has many times said that he figured the capacity of this pipe 00,000 gallons per day, but that other engineers of good standing gave it a much higher dine “e He, however, felt himself able to guarantee a delivery of 22,000,000 gal- tone. The reason given that such an amount a 00,000,000 gailons per day should be carried to Swan lake, was that in Mr. Williams’ plans of development, he proposed using « and Swan lake, such « flume being bie to many accidents. To pro- vide against such a great surplus age it was intended tobe stored at Swan lake. The pressure pipe con- templated by ordinance 397 Is not subjected to those dangers, and tn- asmuch as the high dam proposed by Mr. Williams at the Cedar river intake has been dispensed with, and a diverting canal substituted, Mr. | Thompson has argued that the ex- penditure necessary to bring ¢ eurplusage of water to Swan la would be money thrown away In |the City Engineer seems to have made up his mind to wast the money. s- ANOTHER CYCLONE Alabama Receives a Third Visitation SPLMA, Ala, March %%.—Rider- ville, north of this elty, wae alme demolished by a cyclone this m ing It is feared that a number persons were killed.
