have been written letters informing
John 8. Ward, superintendent of
water and lights, will advocate be-
fore council the immediate necessity
for the installation of sewerage fa-
cilities on the west side of Austin.
— a protection to the watershed on
that side, which drains down upon
the filtering beaches.
While maintaining that the Austin
water „eupply is as pure and whole-
some as that furnished any Texs
city. Mr. Ward admits without hes-
itaney that * the fact that there ls
no, sewerage on the west side is a
talking point in favor of those who
might esire - to raise a qu—tion
about the purity of the Austin water
guppiy. /
Eatimate of Possible Cost.
City Engineer J. Edward Leonard,
it M understood, has estimated that
the west side could be properly sew-
•red at an outlay of perhaps $30,000
er $40,000, and Mr. Ward contends
thate it would be money well spent
even If the cost ran as high as
$60,000 to eliminate any suspicion of
the contamination of the water fur-
nished the people of Austin for do-
mestic purposes.
. Mr. Ward favors putting the mat-
ter up to the people to decide by
their votes once and for all whether
or not the will authorise councf!
