"A special meeting of the Waterworks Advisory
Board was held in the City Managers office at 12:00
o'clock noon April 24, 1935 with the following
members presents Roy F. Bailey, Chairman, Chas.
Shaver, Leon Stevenson, Ray Gebhart, H. N. Lamme,
City Engineer and H. L. Brown, Secretary.
Various matters relative to rates and future
betterments were discussed - particularly the
advisability of a further reduction in rates and
hydrant rental. After due consideration it was
thought best to obtain additional information as
to the probable affect on revenue in case a
reduction was made, and that it be taken up at
another meeting as soon as such information is
available.
An improvement which the Board has long seen
the need of is additional elevated storage.
Such storage to be located in the mill and
industrial section. Not only has this been
deemed necessary from the standpoint of addition-
al storage and fire protection, but it will have
the affect of smoothing out the excessive peak
loads during the sprinkling season which taxes
the well supply and pumping equipment to its
limit during excessive dry seasons like 1934.
Since sufficient funds are on hand to care for
such construction and in all probability a grant
for part of the cost of such could be obtained from
the new federal relief allotment. On motion of
Mr. Shaver, seconded by Mr. Stevenson it was
recommended that a site be procured in a location
to be recommended by Mr. Brown and Mr. Lamme, and
that elevated storage of a minimum capacity of
not less than 7500000 gallons be constructed.
Also that consideration be given to the desirability
of the location and construction at some future
time an elevated storage tank of at least 150000
gallon capacity in the locality of Sunset Park.
The vote taken on this motion was unanimous.
On motion of Mr. Shaver it was recommended
that the west 159 feet of Lot 1, Neeley's Addition
on South Fourth Street be purchased and that a
new well and well house be constructed and
equipped with necessary pumping equipment. This
well to replace Well No. 1, whose production is
limited, and the old equipment which is very in-
efficient in its operation. This motion was seconded
by Mr. Gebhart and the vote taken was unanimous.
Petitions for water main extensions were con-
sidered and on motion of Mr. Stevenson it was
recommended that a 6" water main be laid in Sherman
Street, Franklin to Republic and that a 6" main be
laid in Seventh Street, Pacific to Otis. This motion
was seconded by Mr. Gebhart and the vote taken was
unanimous.
No further business appearing, the meeting
