Hurst to Taxpayers' Criticisms and In? quiries. Editor Daily Item: Since "A Taxpayer" in your issue of 23rd lltgt, makes The Item his medium of Inquiry about certain ex? travagant expenditures of the Water Department. I beg space to reply. When the standpipe is full of water, the wind blows it out in spray over the next door neighbor's premises, thereby creating a nuisance of which complaint has been made for years ?long before the city purchased the property. A suit for damages had been thereatened against the city and the matter was a constant source of annoyance to the Commissioners of Public Works, as well as to the occu? pants of the house. Finally the own? ers of the house offered to bear half the cost of abating the nuisance. A gutter was attached to the stand-pipe to take the water off without allowing the wind a chance to blow it about. The expense incurred was thirty dol? lars, one half of which the Commis? sioners paid. In reference to the electric gong attachment, that is still maintained. Some times it worjvs successfully, sometimes it does not. When it fails to operate, the Engi? neer is liable to run the stand-pipe over, although that is a hard thing to do since the consumption of water has increased so much. As an addi? tional safeguard, a water gauge is kept at the pumping station, which indicates the depth of water In the stand-pipe. In fact no means is neg? lected for saving labor, fuel and ma? chinery. "If Taxpayer" will specify the other extravagances at which he vaguely hints, they will be explained and t stopped, if possible. The Commis? sioners?who by the way are taxpay? ers also?are anxious to reduce ex? penses to a minimum. C . M. HURST, I Secretary. Sumter, S.
