PERTINENT POINTS
Apropos cfth9 Discussion ofihe
Proposed "ump Pur
chase. DUTY OF SUPERINTENDENT
Robbins' Attack on Cavanaugh The
Need of Pure Water and
Other Things.
Aid. F. E. Robbins' assertion in the
council last Monday evening when
Supt. of Waterworks J. Y. Cava
.laugh's views were suggested on the
pump situation, that the "present su
perintendent is just as much biased at
the present time as any man could be.
was not only unwarranted and unjust
but excetdingly inconsistent. It was
unjust and unwarranted r.ecause Mr
CavanaugtTs long record in Rock Is
land has placed an entirely different
stamp upon his character. His repu
tation for doing and standing by what
he has believed to be right regardless
of who might Le affected Is too firmly
established to be shaken by a charge
A this sort.
The statement on Aid. Robbins' part
was inconsistent because if ever there
was a man biased in his views it was
Mr. Cavanaugh's predecessor in the
waterworks, who in season and out
was a worker for the pump that Aid.
Robbins has been championing in pre-
f rence to all others, and he continued
to exirt his influence for the pump that
Mr. Robbins wanted even after lie was
removed from his position.
SurrlntrBIrnt Should He Ksprrt.
Furthermore, Supt. Bancroft was con
sulted, as it was proper that he should
be. in all matters that pertained to the
waterworks, and yet up to the time
that Supt. Cavanaugh was asked to
express himself in the council meeting
Mondav night, his views were not so'.i-
ited. Even now no one knows what
his preference is, if he has one. He has
not betn consulted and The Argus
know s of no one who has heard him ex-
prtss himself on any phase of the
pump situation. Just at this particular
time the information that the council
would naturally be expected to desire
as to the actual condition of the
present pumps and the extent of the
needs. On this point Supt. Cavanaugh
ought to be qualified to speak. Confi
dence in his judgment as an expert
was assuredly shown in his unanimous
confirmation for the position he now
holds As has been repeatedly stated
in The Argus the question of enlarged,
ur at least improved pumping facilities
t the waterworks plant is not an is
sue. There is ground for dispute nev
ertheless, as to whether simply, because
the city has an appropriation of $2,iti)i.t
to spend it is necessary to put $24,0'J0
into a particular pump. Perhaps it is.
but the failure to ascertain, and inci
dentally to attempt through re-advertising
to get a pump for less money
does not furnish much of an argument
for a disposition to consider either the
exigencies or the economy of the sit
uation. I'iir- Wntrr a 4 iiill-rullon.
If the people generally were eou
Milted, there would doubtless be a con
census of opinion not only in favor of
providing every reasonable advantage
and precaution so far as pumping fa
cilities go, but in the matter of the
source of supply. The public is quite
naturally concerned fully as much in
tlie character as well as the volume of
water that is to enter into the city
mains. Adequate pumping facilities
;.te of the utmost importance, but what
is more essential, or more imperative
than pure water? It is well that the
water works question has been agitat
ed to the extent that it has. It would
have been better had the public heeded
fully the admonition some weeks ago
that the subject was worthy of the
more interest than it was receiving.
The agitation has developed the fact
that the intake pipe is needful of at
tention. Aside from the precaution al
ways of the most timely importance
that there should be abundant fire pro
tection, any increase in the volume of
the supply served for consumption
win be worthless unless the supply is
pure.
Volume tUr Only ttiietiou at That.
And going back to the subject of the
volume, all that could be pumped into
the city pipes would be of little avail
without sufficient mains to carry it
and it wemld be a lamentable failure
for protection, if ever carried, if not
intelligently applied. Fire protection
does not lie in the deluge. Alertness
that insures the best results with as
little water as iossibIe affords the only
sdeouate fire protection And a!ertnes
can only be assured by going back to
the adoption of the first principle urged
for yars by The Argus the installa
tion of a reliable alarm system.
So that, view ing the waterworks ques
tion from every side, there are after
all things to be considered besides the
putting of money into a certain brand
and a certain priced pump simply be
cause the city has saved it up for that
purpose and this without the least
disparagement of any reasonable pre
cautionary methods in the line of am
ple pumping facilities.

On account of the fact that the at

his plan to try him first and will prob

Saturday, probably pleading not guilty.

Elmer Weaver, charged with rape,
may be the first on the list of criminal

Although there were various sensation

life of Weaver which came at the time
he was place d in jail, it is not probable
that anything will develop in this case
except what pertains directly to the
offense with which he is charged. It'
