SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Editor
Free Press:
Can you inform me how much water is now being pumped daily, how many hours
the
city pump is operated and also how many water motors are in use and the
amount paid
for each one?
Is it true that city wells are failing, or are they running to waste?
The Broad St well
used to leak badly,- has it been fixed?
How much will another well cost? Is
it fair for the council to charge a man who
sprinkles two or more lots $2 a lot and only give him the same hours as a
man with
one lot?
After collecting $2 a lot for the season does the council want to ruin
such lawns as
Court House, Normal School, and others that it now cuts the time down to
two
hours, regardless of whether it is one lot or ten?
Why shouldn’t a man have two hours on each lot with one
sprinkler, if he pays for them?
Water Consumer.
For reply to the subject matter of the above communication we
shall be obliged to refer “Water Consumer” to the board of public
works or to the council. It
is possible that one or both of these bodies may be able to set themselves
right before the large number of people who are to be deprived of the use
of water and to satisfy the general public that the flow of water is not
what it has been. But by all
means the information asked for should be forthcoming. |
