The water supply Is now the only thing lacking to make the city com plete. and within the present week It is declared that the big reservoir on the Hill will be full once more and the regular pumping station in full operation night and day. Mishaps, time and again, have caus ed a delay with water, but now every precaution will be taken to see that the pumping station is ready to be put to work within a few days. Com missioner Wingfield stated Saturday that the pumps had been thoroughly cleaned, all machinery put in ship shape and when the water is turned on there will be no hitch whatever. Water in Reservoir is Ample To Supply City Two Weeks Wild ’rr 4s were afloat In th e city yesterday to the effect that the city water supply In the reservoir had been exhausted and that only a few hours remained befora Augusta would be facing a water famine. As a matter of fact however, there Is now plenty of water on hand, to supply the needs of 'he city for two weeks at the present rate of consumption Mayor Dunbar autho rises any one hearing these reports to contradict them officialiy as there Is not the slightest foundation to them. In all probnhtJltv the full sup'p.y of eatar will be enjoyed by the city within a week and there Is no cause whatever for alarm or apprehen sion concerning the water supply. 1 THE SUNDAY HERALD BURTON-TAYLOR-WISE CO.

All we ask you to do is to be here Monday morning. STREET LIGHTS NOT YET READY. There is nothing definite about city street lights just yet. The Augusta Railway and Electric company select ed August as the best month in which to make repairs and additions to their plant, and when the flood came "it found most of their reserve boilers down and new machinery waiting on the outside to be put in. As yet this work has not- been completed, and un til it is finished there is no way to get on the lights unless the canal water becomes available before that time. The company is operating as many cars as possible, and every conveni ence the company can place at the disposal of the public has been con sidered. However, it may be a week or ten days before the lights are shining once again. HUNDREDS AT WORK ON STREETS. The streets have been put in shape with wonderful rapidity. Hundreds of men have worked unceasingly since the flood and within a few days tho dangerous places were repaired. In addition to the work of restoring the streets much debris had to be re moved and this took more work. All the street force will be kept at work for a considerable time longer, says Mayor Dunbar. It is quits prob able that Judge Eve will allow tho use of 100 convicts and 20 teams until the streets are In order once more. Mayor Dunbar has entered negotia tions for more gravel *to resurface the streetg and he will have this work done by the convicts ss they AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1908 % arc familiar with the system of road , building with gravel. Greene street I will have to be resurfaced practically I all the way, despite the fact that [new work was just completed on it last year. The lower part of the city did not suffer as much as up town In this re spect as the waters in that section were more quiet than up-town. It will take a month to get all the streets in shape, but the work will be completed before it is stopped. The North Augusta bridge is one of the most popular pussago-wavs In the country today. Hundreds of wag ons passed to and fro across the structure Friday and Saturday and a rousing business was done by Au gusta merchants as a result. The bridge will be completed just as good as ever within the next few days and in the meantime it is open to the public for the passage of all kinds of vehicles and traffic. FERRY ON RIVER IS ASSURED. The establishment of a ferry across the river is practically assured, as the river and wharf committee of council has Investigated the project and considered it feasible. Mayor Dunbar will probably call a meeting of council to handle the matter with in the next day or two. If the right Is granted Mr. Geo. 8. Murpbey will at once prepare to open the ferry and communication will be opened near the Centre street bridge. The ferry will probably op erate from Mclntosh street. The farmers of the South Carolina territory are anxious to have Centre street bridge re opened and they are asking for the co-operation of Au gusta merchants and business men along with the commercial and in jdustrial organizations of the city tn securing speedy action on this mat ter. The city authorities will prob ably take up the matter as soon as more pressing business is disposed of Commissioner Wingfield states that a steel bridge can be construct ed over the river now with draw | bridges at a cost of $50,000. This | will give Centre street a bridge equally as good as North Augusta bridge. An Immense amount of trade comes Into Augusta from the section which ; Is Involved In the Inconvenience oc- ! rasloned by the washing away of the ; Centre street structure, which has so long been In use.
