Proposition
TAt 4 (At fourth e o arrtes o arti
cle en municipal affairs in Philadelphia.
Extension and .Improvement of ths
city's 188,000,000 water s)stem Is on
of th most Important munlclpil plans
for future, enlareemsnt
The work calls for the expenditure of
Ixtueen Ji:, 000, 000 and f 15.000,000 nnd
provides for the emplojmcnt of many
classes of expert and skilled labor
Although tho ater extension plan nas
just bsen sent to Councils bv Mayor
Smith, alternate plans for -varjlng Una's
of extensions liavn been completed,,
When a course Is chosen and tho money
authorised by a councllmanlc loan, work
can be. started at once Plans are un

Tho financing: of tho nork Includes a
pay-as-you-go feature. In that Chief
Dm Is, of the Water Bureau, nnd thoe
affiliated with him In tho effort to ob
tain a safe and adequate supply, ant
only a portion of the money needed
Included In loans of futuro jear The
work will co-er at least four?ear, and
they plan asking Councils for I2.000 000
or Jl.000,000 annually until the task Is
finished.
rropoiltlon In Council' Hand
Ths entire proposition Is now In the
hands of Councils' Committee on Fi
nance and Water and the members are
working In conjunction with Chief Da
Ma and City Solicitor Connelly with a
ilew to a quick decision as to what Is
best to do.
A part of the general scheme is for
ino cny to acquire independent water,

Tha three alternate methods that hase

delyvarj-
been outlined as possibilities
to central and South Phllade
adeauate water supply, are. w Id
ing. but are claimed to be equally cer-
taJn of results
On. nlsn provides for tb. nlarrp.
msnt of th present filtration plant at I
TorreadaU at a cost of 111,000,000 This
"cost would Include big mains In the
northern section to re.enforce the supply
now being sent to the central and south
"eni parts of Philadelphia.
A second method would be to go to
' the headwaters of tho Schuvlklll River,
many miles from the city, and bring
an adequate supply here by means of
-aqueducts. This would be the most
costly of the suggestions outlined and
Is! not likely to be adopted because of
Its prohibitive cost It Is founded on
the plana adopted by New York city In
bringing lta fresh water supply from
the mountains
Contemplate Series of Basins
The third and last method under con
slderatlon, U to construct several fresh
water basins at the. headquarters of
the BchuylklU j5d thus increase the
. volume In the river Itself. This plan
contemplates th water making Its way
to the dty by Its natural course and
would make tho supply of morn than
-present value to other cities along Its
rbanka. The estimated cost of a eerles
of basins of a slxe adequate to carry
necessary supply to this city is
tu.ooo.ooo.
Chief DaTla and other water experts
consider action Imperative and little
delay la anticipated In obtaining the
necessary funds from Councils to pro
ceed with the plan finally agreed on
For years! the water supply has been
inadequately kept up, owing to Councils'
failure to provide badly nesded funds
Th result has been on Inadequate sup
ply for stores and dwellings over miles
ot city territory and the gradual wear
ltuj out of machinery kept going twenty,
four hours each day of the year.
It vu this condition that led the
Chestnut street and other business asso
ciations to organise a campaign In favor
of the expenditure of funds for water
extensions.
