Inter la aa follows:
An Important and Interesting address
hj« been prepared by the board of
water commissioners to the people of
Atlanta, giving reasons why there
mould he n bond Issue for the water
works department.
At a meeting of the board yesterday
afternoon the address which had been
prepared by a special committee was
read, unanimously approved and signed.
The address bears the signature of
'very member of the water board, and
la aa follows:
To the Public: The question of Issu
ing bonds for Improvements In the
waterworks system of Atlanta Is now
before the public for their decision.
The waterworks le the proiierty of
the people, and every clllsen of Atlanta
Is equally Interested In Its surress or
failure. The board of water commis
sioners. who manage this property, are
but the representatives of the people,
end being responsible for Its proper
manigement, deem It their duty to lay
before the people the present condition
of the system, and to state what they
conceive In their Judrment to be the
necessity for certain Improvements and
additions to put the works In a con
dition to meet the present and future
demands upon It.
To begin With, the works were never
built With a view of supplying with
water, a city of the present slie of At
lanta. and no provision was made to
meet the Increased growth of the city
The present consumption of water It
about all the works can now reason
ably take cere of. Should, the con
sumption of water In 1M7 Increase
over the consumption of'1401, aa 1404
did over 1405. It would be a serious
question whether we could meet -the
demand with our present facilities. In
that estent It would bacoma necessary
to slop tapping and supplying water to
new consumers, and possibly ba com
pelled to rut off all outside consumers
of water, so ae to enable the depart
ment to furnish water for domestic,
manufacturing, fire and eanlUty pur
poses within the city limits. Such a
course may become necessary, and the
people should be made acquainted with
the facts aa they exist.
What Improvements Are Necessary.
To put the eyetem In proper condi
tion. the following Improvements are
absolutely necessary:
1. The first and most Importsnt Is an
additional force main from the rlvsr to
the reservoir of at least 44 Inches In
diameter. The reason for this sddltlona!
mein Is thst there le but one 10-Inch
mein now that supplies the reservoir,
and with the pumpa at the river run
ning contlntiouely, day and night, they
HALF-OFF
ON OVERCOATS
This reduction only includes
the 3-4 length fancy coats with
velvet collars. The styles are
good and will continue so, but
on account of being classed as
novelties we had rather sacri
fice now than show them an
other season. Staple overcoats
are 1-4 off—and so are suits,
both staple and fancy.
Levy & Stanford,
17 Peachtree
can just keep the reservoir full, the
pumpa at the Inner station tako It out
during (he day faster than dt can be
put In. During the night, when the
consumption In the city falls off. we
manage tn catch up what was lost dur-
Ing the day. This ran not last long,
for when we are unable to put a*
much water In the reservoir aa I* taken
out of It. the supply to the city will
have to be curtailed somehow. The
coet of this main will be approximately
4175.000.
4. The second necessity. If the people
want clear water, le an additional coag
ulating beam. We have one now, but
the consumption In the city la so great,
and the water goes through this basin
ao rapidly, that It glvas no time for
proper coagulation and sedimentation,
and will result In water being deliver
ed to ihe filters In auch a condition that
II will be Impossible for the filters to
remove the mud out of It before It Is
pumped Into the city. The coat of this
basin will be approximately $44,(WO
4. The third necessity le a second
clear-water basin. The second reason
for this le that It often becomes nec
essary to clean out the present basin,
and when we do the muddy water le
pumped directly from the coagulating
basin Into the city without being -fil
tered. With an additional clear-wator
basin we could clean out either one or
the other without pumping muddy or
unflllrred water Inlo Ihe city. The
cost of this basin will be approxi
mately 440.000. . ,
4. The fourth ns easelty is additional
filters. The present filtering capacity
la rated at 7,000,000 gallons In twenty-
four hours: we often filter at tha rate
of over 30,000,000 gallons In twenty-
four hours, and but for tho great as
sistance of (he coagulating basin, which
removes 40 per cent of the mud from
the water, we would have had muddy
water all last summer, the removal of
the mud by the coagulating basin en
abled the flltere to do thle work, but
there Is a limit to their capacity, even
with all the mud removed, and that
limit hat been reached, the coloring or
suspended matter In the water ran
only bo removed by the flltere. The
cost of adding 4.000.000 gallons dally
rapacity to the flltere will be approx
imately 450.000.
5. The fifth necessity Is an additional
pump at our No. 4 pumping station.
This Is the station which pumpa tha
water into (he city. We now hava three
pumps at this station—one 16,000.000-
gallon. and two 10,000,040-gallon
pumpa. The reason for this additional
pump le. that as It now stands an so.
cldent to our 11,046.000-gallnn pump,
which would pul It out of service at
any lime, and especially during a big
fire, would seriously cripple ue. as It
would be Impossible to girt fire pres
sure with the two emaller pumps dur
ing Ihe day. This hat already hap
pened on severe! occasion!, but for
tunately the fire department did not
need the pressure on either occasion.
During the day now we are compelled
to run the big pump and one of (he
smaller ones continuously, and If the
demand for water Increases much more.
e will be compelled (o run all three
of the pumps at this station during
the day. This would leave ue without
nny reserve In rate of accident to
either of the pumps. Accidents to ma
chinery Is nothing unusual, and In this
case would be exceedingly unfortunate
ami perhaps falsi. It w|ll take fion)
twelve m eighteen months to build and
Instsl n pump at this station. The ap
proximate cost of tha pump required
would be 1145.000.

require nn additional battery of holt* i
ere. which will rust approximately I
IT.noit.
The intake and overflow towers
. .. I pipe connections for new ressrvolrj
to present reservoir and coagulating:
hatdn will cost not leas than *45.004.
8. The demands for water mains In |
he city are exceedingly pressing, and
pplteatlnns are now on file for over
ten miles of small malna. These peo- j

In 1444 the people voted 4444.440 ot
bonds for waterworks. This was re
duced by action of council to 1150.040.
and the funds arising from this bond
Issue wee required to be used in laying
email maine within tha city limits. We
laid 41 miles of email pipe during 140.1
and 1444 out of the funds arising from
the sale of these bonds.
Had the original amount ot bonds
votad by the people been Issued the
people would not be called on no* tn

The question le now up to you—to
Issue these bonds and moka thaaa Im
provements or not. If the bonds fall
not ba on the board or the city council,
but with the people. They have tha
opportunity (o Improve or cripple, and
possibly destroy the only valuable
property they own.
Under Ihe art authorising tho issua
of these bonds the legislature has pro
vided that the funds accruing from tha
sale nt these bonds can only ba used
for improvements In the waterworks
syctam. The language of the act on
this question Is aa follows:
“The proceeds ot the eale of these
bonds. If Issued and sold, shall ba ap

tions to the system of waterworks it

mains within the corporate limits -■

been called to the necessity for tbase
