"I want to emphasize the fact
that the slacked lime basin to be
erected to relieve the summer
shortage of the city water sup-
ply is only a temporary measure.”
said C. N. Avery, commissioner
of lights and water in discussing

modern filtration plant.”
Such a plant, according tn

and would necessitate a city elec-

the lime basin will cost less than
the receipts from the sale of the
water during one month.
