EL PASO HERALD DELIVERING THE HERALD IN DOUGLAS Watts Pump is Started Up To Fill the Reservoir and Guard Against Danger From Ordered For April Will Not Be Working Inside of Four Months; Negotiating For Another Plant. I is confiuming: overll.OOu,- OOU gallons of water a day. the greatest In the history of the city, and as a result, it was necessary night to put the old l)ump into operation for a few hours to fill the reservoir The pump was taken down and thoroughly repaired last week and is now in position to work at any time required, such as in of a big fire or any sudden call upon the water system of the city. The new pumps, ordered a year ago and contracted for instalation in April, have not yet arrived. Parts of the machinery have arrived, but Supt.

li. P. Jackson does not expect all of the niachinery for another GO dayvS and says it will take six weeks to in- stal the pumps after they get here. Wafer Supply IloldH Out. mesa water is holding extremely said Jackson, although we are pumping more than any time in the history of the city, the supply continues as plentiful as ever.

water consumption has increased enormously. The consumption during the month of June was l)ercent greater than during June a year ago. This gives some idea of the problem we have to meet in furnishing water for the city, also it jjhow's the tremendous growth of ICl Paso. water company could have kept up w'ith the needs of the city, however, if it had been to get the pumping machinery on time, but in these times of warfare and stress, you can't get anything. We will be lucky to have additional pumps going inside of three and a half or lour months.

In other words, the summer season will be over before we can have additional pumping capacity the mesa and the consequence is that I fear we will have to requisition the pump several times, unless rain soon. HnlnN Win Hrlng Relief. rain would immediately relieve the for it would decrease the demand for for yards and gardens. Gardening is one of the things that has made such a heavy call on us for water, but the general growth of the city has also caused an increased on our supply. Watts water is not bad.

Tt does not taste so good, but we have had it analyzed by the ity bacteriologist and he finds that it is as pure as the mesa water, the only difference being in the Affoots Sfoniarli. Many El Pasoans complain, liow- fver, that the W'atts water contains so many solids of a medicinal character that it has an unpleasant effect upon the stomach, acting much like salts. The Watts water enters the pipes and homes of all users of water who draw tlieir supply from the reservoir. People residing in the eastern part of the city, who secure their water from the main extending into the city from the mesa wells arc not affected by the Watts water, for there is always sufficient water coming in from mesa to all of the eastern section of the city. a matter of fact the supply of mesn water has been equal to the consumption of the entire city, according to Mr.

Jackson, but there has been no surplus for several days and, in order to avoid against fire danger, he puniped the reservoir full of water from the Watts well last night. Vddltlofial Plant. The city hopes to have additional wells and pumps before another summer. in addition to the overdue pump to be instaled as soon as it arrives. The additional wells and pumps would form an entire new unit for city waterworks system and would cost about 100 000 J.

Layne, of the company of Memphis, is here conferring w'ith the officiols regarding the new unit. Several weeks ago the city signed a contract with the firm for the construction of an auxiliary plant south of Austin tenaoe, but Mr. Layne did not approve the contract and is trying to have it changed. This contract provided for a plant to supply 4,000,000 gallons of water every 24 hours.

The home is so crowded that it is now necessary to use the playhouse erected through subscriptions of Herald readers a year ago last Christmas, for a sleeping room for the boys. Additional dormitory space is needed bieftly and a campaign will be started to raise money for this A number of leading men of the city have pledged their assistance to carry out the plans and give the little boys and girls a decent place to live.

Judge Pollock is taking steps to donations of food and supplies from people w'ho are not now helping. He Is interesting himself in sending as many people to the home for a visit as possible, so that they may understand conditions and realize the needs of these small children. The balance of the Christmas fund subscribed by Herald readers last Christmas for these little boys and girls is now being used to excellent advantage, as additional milk is needed during the hot weather for the babies. Some overalls for the boys to play in were recentlv bought also from this fund.
