The Development of the Public Water Supply of Indianapolis Indianapolis had a population of Fifty Thousand before its first public water supply came into existance. On June 1,1871, the Water Works Company of Indianapolis turned water into the eighteen miles of mains constituting its distribution system. Prior to that time, dug or driven wells constituted the only water supply. Hundreds of our present citizens well remember the days when there was no public water supply and no public fire protection except that furnished from fire cisterns. So recent is the development of the public water supply that Mr. E. C. Leible, one of the present active employes, has been with the Company practically from its beginning.

\ The Sanitary Conditions The early history of Indianapolis is filled with accounts of the annual outbreak of typhoid fever and malaria, these epidemics being due to the poor sanitation and impure drinking water. A modern purification plant, furnishing a water of unquestioned purity, and the extensive installation of sanitary conveniences, has practically eliminated typhoid and added materially to the span of human life. Yesterday's Luxuries Are Today's Necessities Our present-day necessities, such as kitchen, sink, bath, toilet, washstand, laundry trays and hose connections were but a few years ago

luxuries unknown to any except the very wealthy. The water supply for these sanitary conveniences costs the average householder of today only 5 cents per day. As late as 1881, less than 800 of Indianapolis homes boasted of modern conveniences. Today 56,000 properties have water supply, and 4,300 fire hydrants furnish a public fire sendee undreamed of a few years ago.

On the way from Cincinnati he had to dismount several times to help raise the coach out of the mud, axle deep. Indianapolis then boasted of a population of 6,500. His first venture into business was with his friend, Mr. Volmer, and consisted of general merchandise in very modest quarters on Washington Street. They handled groceries, dry goods, notions, boots and shoes, some rough hardware and tools; and cheese, crackers and Madison al* for their country customers ’ noon lunches. In 1857 the partner was beset with the California fever 1 and went West. Mr. Vonnegut moved into his own modest building up near the Court House. He then employed five clerks.
