Farmers all over the county should now be selecting something to compete for, and make the county fair a grand success. If the various entries could be run up to 5,(KK), as they ought to be in this county alone, the fair would be a guaranteed success from the start.

The Proposed Water Works. On the first page of the Cockier

this week will be found the report prevent the town from ever getting

m iuii oi .uesaro. vt nton, riau and revenue enough to extend the water

Kunkel, the committee appointed by the town trustees to look at different systems of water works in operation in Indiana and recommend to the Board the system best adapted for Jasper. With all resect to this committee the Coukiek submits that they did not discharge their duty to the people under their commission from the trustees to view different systems unless, indeed, it was determined from the start to adopt the reservoir system, without regard to the rmjieriority and lower cost of other systems--and then the cost of their trips was useless expense. They visited tluee places, Corydon, Paoli and Salem, all operating with reservoirs, and then come home and reiort in favor of a reservoir, and diseasje-hreeding Patoka river water.

It is said the personal interests of

a few individuals was the principa

cause of the report, and that it was

practically determined these mdi

viduals should be favored before the committee was appointed. As

to the truth of this the Cuukiek is not posted, and therefore refrains from mentioning names, or endors

ing the report. But ordinarilv

would eeni to the disinterested who

will be called upon to pay taxes to keep the works running", that the investigation should have been more

thorough. mi t .

l nere is one ining mey say in their rejwrt that wad unauthorized

by their appointment, and that doe - a i .ll it. t I a .1 rr i

noi ten uie wnoie iruui. mat is in regard to what water works are

wanted by our citizens for. The

voters who voted for water works.

nor the Board, did not delegate the committee to say why, or tor what

purposes water works were desirable.

anü in tueir voluntary enumeration of the reasons, the committee left out the most important rea

son, and the one use which would

bring the town more sieadv rev

ienue than all reasons by them

enumerated from 1 to 4 combined.

ud thereby reduce the heavv rate

bf taxation necessary without it to

keep the works in operation, viz

5. Pcue watek for all domestic

uses. At least live connections will be made with the mains if puke watek

is furnished for drinking purposes.

to one for the purposes enumerated by the committee, and a system furnishing pl'ke watek will" not pre

vent any ot the others trom taking it.

As to their conclusion that a reservoir is cheaper than a stand-pipe, it would depend verv much on the

size of the stand-pipe and reservoir

The reservoir recommended bv the

committee, to by 100 feet and 12 feet deep, will require the removal of 2,500 square yards of dirt, which at 20 cent a vard will be 500. It

will require 250,000 brick to line it, at 7 per thousand, 1,750; a mile

anüone-htthot O-inch pipe will cost 5,000, making the total cost of a reservoir at least 7,950, besides the ground necessary to locate it and

the pump upon, probably 1,000

more, mailing the total ,950. It is no wonder they only propose to furnish water to a part of two streets, and leave the reet of the taxpavers out in the dry, for the total amount of bonds cannot exceed 10,000. Mr. Kennedy's estimate for a standpipe 100 feet high, and 20 feet in diameter, was 5,900, so if his estimate was correct a stand-pipe would be cheaest. But Jasper needs neither. The Holly system of works, and tha Devereaux system use neither, but force the water direct into the mains, from whatever source

the water is taken, and save the expense of either stand-pij)e, or reservoir. For towns and cities of 25,000 and under it has been invariably proven to be the most economical, in operation, and satisfactory, the interest on the extra sums

required for either stand-niie or

reservoir being sufficient to pav for1 an v benefit

ZiurZiA E.r'"E : . " u the following instructors have been

ar

mams to other streets. It is evident

some cheaper plan should be con

sidered.

Instead of onlv a mile and a fifth

oi pipe, as proposed, 1,000 feet o

which, at both ends, would be with

out a house to connect with it, i

the town will drill wells on its own

lot, where the town hall now is, ant

'orce the water direct into the mains

and use six or eight inch mains in

stead of the ten inch that will be

necessarv to use with a reservoir

system, the plant can be put in with

out anv waste of pipe, complete.

with three miles of six and eight

inch mains, for from 9.000 to 12,-

000, and serve more than double the number on the limited line pro

posed by the committee, thus making it possible to derive revenue enough from the water to pay interest and expenses, and a small addi

tional tax will provide for extensions

as needed.

To do this the trustees would have to consider the fact that the

wealth of the town is not enough,

wun me constitutional limit oi in

debtedness, to issue bonds and build

the works this vear, but estimates

can be made, engineers consulted, contractors to bidlooked after, a

full system providing for the entire town adopted, so as to be worked

up to year after year, and, most im

portant of all, a tax levied to meet the expense in advance, of the ex

cess over the limit of indebtedness allowed by the constitution of the State. The contract would then 1h let for next year, thus giving contractors plenty of time, (an import

ant consideration in getting the work low in price) and no payments to be made until after taxes are

collected next vear.

Arewellsan experiment, as stated,

by the committee? The Conti ek believes they are a success in more

towns like Jasper than are reservoirs The committee say the 4 'supply may be inadequate," nun be "mineral or saline" : so the moon

may be made of green cheese, but it's not likely. At least contractors

are willing to drill the wells, and get plenty of good water at their

own risk thus it not costing the town anything at all unless an abundance of good water, free of all

deleterious substances, is secured.

And these wells could be drilled

the present year so that their avail

ability would be fully known before

the time a contract for the other

work need be closed. This is the

more advisable because in the gas

well drilling at lUS feet deep, a vein

of pure, fresh, soft water was struck

which rushed over the top of the

eight inch pipy at the rate of fortv

barrels a minute, and which the

drillers experienced great difficulty

in -casetng on. it came with

such force as to wash all the smaller

tools, hammers, etc., off of ihe der

nek platform. It is likely this same

water would be reached on the town

lot

Let us have water works, but let

us have the water all over town, or

devise some way to make it possible

to have it all over town in a few

years at least, and not adopt a svs-

the people for the benefit of those

on parts; of two streets only. Cut our coat according to our own

wckets, and if we need a larger

one, provide the monev to pay for

it before hand, as the law will not

ermit the town to go in debt tor a

sufficient sum to provide it. And

then let the town have the best it

can get for the money, and no use-

ess exiKjnditure or experimenting.

Jasper has existed forty years with

out water works, and if some provision is made for them in the future, can certainly worry along another year. The citizens gem rally will blame the trustees if com

pelled to pay taxes without getting
