It bow looks bright er for Water Works and a Greater I Monroe than any time in the history I e th. ! t ofour dty. The council asking for bids dn a deep well. Should an abundance of good pure water be obtained, Water Works tor Monroe City are! assured. The deep well system is the best, if the water can be obtained in this way. A committee went to Centralia Friday to investigate what they have there! The committee was composed of) Aldermen McFarland, Yates and Yowell, accompanied by G. G. Hines, a 'Kansas City enginneer and u. K. Lmerson. iney were greatly pleased with what they saw and came back more enthusiastic, They found evwn greater than they had expected and see no reason why Monroe should longer be with out a first class water plant. At Centralia plenty of water was found at a depth of 1 lOO feet and the well complete cost only $3800. The water is soft, is free from dis ease germs, is good for domestic use and tor steaming purposes It rises to within 195 feet of the sur face and costs the city only 7 cents per thousand gallons to pamp into the tank. Under an extreme test of pumping 153 gallons per minute for ten minutes in a 12-inch hole could lower water only 32 feet. This looks good and again we say the council is to be commended on the step it has taken to let the con tract for a deep well in Monroe Citv. Those who desire to bid on the proposition can see specifics tions at the office pf G. W. Tomp kins. City clerk.; water Works " means a more prosperous and a Greater Monroe.
