WATER PLANT 1 NEEDS REPAIRS Clear Water Basin Leaking, Method of Chemicalizing Water Anti quated and Settling and Filtering Easins Too Small Milledgeville’s water plant is in need of many improvements and en largement is the opinion of the writer after making a trip through the plant with Mr. Chn*. Smith, the mon in charge of the work, and after an ex planation of the operation of the plant. A hitter controversy has been started in the city council over the water situation, one group contending the water plant is incapcitated and in need of repairs, and the other hold ing that the plant is meeting the needs of the city, and the expendi ture of funds htere is unnecessary and uncalled for. The representative of the paper made a visit to the plant and asked Mr. Chas Smith, who has the operation of the plant in charge to show us through and ex plain the rituation to us. The old plant that was purchased from the American Pipe Co., has been discarded and is no longer uwd. The machinery and boilers in this building are rusty and we suppose have been left to decay. The new plant is well constructed and very good for the purpose for which it was built. There is one *ngle pump on the lower floor of the building, with a capacity of about three hundred thousand gallons a day. The council has made provision to add another pump, so that in the event this single unit needs repair or is burned out, a pump can be kept active. The rhilorinator is a single unit and according to Mr. Smith a very delicate instrument nnd in the event this should be damaged, all water would have to be boiled until a new instrument could be bought or new parts secured. The present instru ment is as good as can be bought, but there is no provision made for a break down - TOBACCO CROP IS BEING DRIED Estimated That 75,000 Pounds of Bright Leaf Will Be Harvested. Being Well Cored For Market The tobacco crop in Baldwin eoun- y is being harvested. One hundred and seventeen acres rree planted, under the supervision of Mr. J. V. Blackwell, of North Carolina, who was employed for the purpose. All with the exception of few acres are in Ruldwin practical ly every Section of the county being presented. Those planting were: Trawick Bros., O. M. Ennis, T. E. Pugh, J. W. Moran, R. L. Prosper, J. R. Torrance. L. N. Jordan, J. H. Ennis, Mrs. Mnrgnret Napier. G W. Hollinshead, Sanitarium Farm. R. W. Ivey, Dr. J. H. Shurley, Mr. Hodges, B. F. Jones, Bob Weaver, C. R. Tor rance and son, Mr. Childs, Walter Hall, Harrington Bros. It is estimated that the yield w-ill reach around 75,000 pounds*, bright leaf tobacco most suitable for cigarettes. The drying is now in pro cess, and is being successfully when it is conwdered that this is the first time tobacco culture has ever been undertaken here. Mr. Blackwell i* hunting a murket, and will at an early date call a meet ing of the raisers, and discuss the matter with them. Mr. Blackwell says that it has been practically nhown that a great part of the land of Baldwin county is suitable for the successful raising of tobacco. It will be impossible this year to establish a market here, and get buy ers to come to the city, but this can be done next year if a sufficent amount is raised. aergency. The ■ttlir small NAVY RECRUITING OFFICER COMMENDED BY BUREAU OF NAVIGATION Felton Rice, local Navy Recruiting Officer has been commended by the Naval Authorities for efficient and conscientious performance of duty while in charge of the Recruiting Sta tion in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1926 and 1927, and wince coming to Milledge- ville in February of this year. Mr. Rice’s tour of shore duty expired on the 15th of Juliy, and on that date he received a telegram from the De partment announcing that he had been granted a year’s extention of duty in the Recruiting service and that he would remain at his present station.

As long ns the city uses only about three hun dred thousand gallons per day the water can be filtered through the re quired time, but during the school session, the water has to be forced through in a few minutes. The soda ash and .alum, two chemi cals that are added to the water in the process of filteraiion, are placed in the muddy water well, the recep tacle that recei* the water direct from the creek. When asked why the chemical were placed in this well insteud of being .added as the water flows into the settlnig basin, as is the custom and pratice in all’ water plants, Mr. Smith stated that if add ed where it should, the chemical would not remuin in the water long enough to get the required action be fore it was pumped into the stand pipe and go into the mains. By adding it in the muddy water basin it is in the wuter about forty-fiv minutse longer and the required chemicul action is secured. The clear water basin which as u storage tank for the water ready for the stand pipe, has a large leak in it and is inneed of repair. Dur ing flood season the clear water be comes contaminated from the creek water that comes through the sides. The sewrage situation i» being re lieved we were told, a survey from the female camp having been complet ed. Mr. Smith stated that all of the process of fillteration was a matter of guess work, as there were no gauges and he had to add the amount of chemicals he thought necessary but that there should be acurate gauges so that he could increase or decrease the chemicals .added to the water, according to the needs. A*- we see it, the present plant is alright a* far as it goes, but it was built to fulfill the immediate needs, with no thought of the future, and the time hus come when the city muyfc look to an expansion program. The money, we are, told, is not available, but <*ome plan should be made with a view of undertaking enlargement program within the n future.
