Engineer Knight Thinks "Klmber-
ly" Run WIU Furnish Abundant
Water Supply for Somerset.;
To tin Chit Svrgtn and Council o Bomsnet,
Pa.
Gestlemz .-In considering the qaestion
of the desirability of a public water supply
in any thickly settled community, whether
for a city or a harulet, it would hardly seem
necessary to di-u; iti advantajei either
from a aanitary or financial standpoint, es
pecially among so well-informed people as
the inhabitants of Somerset.
Fundamentally, the introduction of a gen
eral wster supply system is based upon sani
tary grounds and eventually becomes tbe
most economical system, besides providing
a means of disiosal of general sewage, in
the most perfect and only practical method
With a water supply the removal of all
sewage matter will be easily and cheaply
accomplished through small lines of tile in
to the ran below the town.
The plan of pouring house slops into the
street gutters, through drains nnder the side
walks and otherwise, has prevailed for many
years where cess-pools are not practical, but
can never be looked upon as a civilized
method of sewage disposal with or without
a general water snpply and it must naturally
be a source of great annoyance, if nothing
more, to have the sewage of numerous fam
ilies pass by and into tbe soil a few feet from
your front door.
The sources from which any town will or
can obtain its water supply is usually deter
mined by two important considerations, that
is, quantity and quality. Spring sources are
generally the most acceptable, but limited
deep wells are free from surface contaminat
ing influences, but many of them have in
herent constituents or qualities that render
them unfit at once or to deteriorate in a short
time; surface or impounded waters from
running streams form a large percentage of
tbe sources of supply to towns in this coun
try, and while surrounded with many pol
luting influences, yet practical methods
have been discovered and applied to render
them harmless and portable.
Tbe sources of supply pm)n3ed for con
sideration for Somerset are, first, from springs
appearing along the divide east of the town
and at sufficient elevation to form a gravity
supply. Ths second sources proposed for
consideration would be from drilled wells
near the town ; a site favorable as any is as
sumed to be on the hill next northwest of
town. Tbe last source is also by gravity,
and from Kimberly Run and its tributaries.
Ths quantity of water required for an am
ple supply of any town varies more with
the kinds of manufacturing interests than
with tbe habits of tbe people. Ordinarily,
in tbe past, 50 gallons per capita per day
was assumed to provide an abundance for
all purposes and will to-day, including the
adoption of all modern sanitary innovations,
excluding its use for power purposes or spec
ial processes. This would require then 100,-
000 gallons per day for a population of 2,000
or double that amount allowing for a liberal
supply and some contingencies, such as leak
age from reservour and pipe lines.
I should consider, keeping within the lim
its of reasonable expectations that you con
template the demand npoa any sources of
supply you adopt, will in the near future, to
approach one quarter of a million gallons
daily. The experience of many towns, of
providing barely for domestic and sanitary
purposes, should teach us that this is not
sufficient for enterprising and progressive
communities, aa abundance of water stimu
lates certain enterprises besides becoming a
source of revenue.
The Marshal, Custer and Poor-house farms
and all other springs examined combined.
ill not furnish much more than one-fourth
of the above amount when visited the first
of this month, and would undoubtedly flow
some less in an extreme dry season ; there
fore, they can only be considered as auxilia
ry sources. As in elevstion most of them
are from ISO to 200 feet higher than the Dia
mond, or the higher parts of the town, they
can be made available if desired.
The adoption of supply from wells cannot
be otherwise than experimental, as but few
of the many thousands of wells bored for !
oil, gas and water, throughout the biturai-1
nous coal regions have flowed more than
one-eighth the volume required for your wa-1
ter supply. Probably not one well in every
hundred has flowed over one-twentieth the
amount you will require. This, coupled
with tbe fact that many of them produce
water carrying a large amount of mineral
salts rendering it unfit for domestic purposes
makes tbe probabilities of success in secur
ing such a source of supply quite remote or
holly experimental as stated above.
Those most familiar with the geological
formation about Somerset seem to have some
foundation for the belief that flowing water
can be obtained from boreholes located even
on tbe high grounds close to the town, but
it will be well to remember that certain nat
ural conditions must necessarily exist in or
der to produce a flow of Artesian water.
These conditions are entirely geological and
are as follows :
1st There must exist a previous water
bearing stratum with a water tight bed be
low to prevent the escae of water down
ward and a water tight bed above to prevent
tbe escape of the water upward.
2d. This previous stratum must come to
tbe surface at a higher elevation than the
point at which the well is to be drilled.
3d. The foundation must be free from
faults or from any characteristic which
would permit the escape of the water at a
lower elevation than the surface of the
ground at the point where the well is to be
drilled.
Tbe exposed surface of tbe water bearing
stratum, receives and absorbs a certain
amount of the rainfall and in its natural
condition is filled with water to a certain
elevation, forming, in many cases, an exten
ded subterranean reservoir in all the lower
levels of which the water exists under pres
sure. If now the well is drilled from a
point on the surface, which is lower than
the flow line of the subterranean reservoir,
into the water bearing stratum, water will
rise through tbe well to or above the surface
of the ground. It will readily be seen that
tbe magnitude of tbe flow which may be ex
pected from an artesian well, will dei;nd
entirely open the area of exposed surface at
the previeus stratum which is the water-shed
tributary to the well ; upon the percentage
of rainfall absorbed by it; and upon the
porosity of the material which will deter
mine the amount of flow through tbe strat
um.
So far as I can learn but a few wells have
been drilled that would indicate such a for
mation, and those with a very limited area
of tributary water-ahed or else numerous
faults must exist
From present information on this subject,
I consider it very uncertain obtaining a wa
ter supply for Somerset by artesian wells
and even if possible, I think tbe n amber of
wells required, testing and otherwise, wouid
make tbe cost exceed that of a gravity sys
tem from Kimberly Run, which I recom
mend for your consideration.
This stream has a water-shed of 7-5 square
miles above the Plank road and in the dry
est season will undoubtedly have as a least
daily flow &J,0"U gallons based on the
weirings made by me and others on similar
streams in the same valley and both sides of
the adjacent mountain ridges.
The plan that appears most desirable from
a reconnaissance is to divert this stream from
some point near and above where it crosses
the old plank road, through a tils line fol
lowing the contour of the ground to a dis
tributing reservoir located along tbe plank
road and about one and three-quarter miles
from the village, from there lay a cast iron
main connecting with the town system.
I have accompanied this report with an
estimate of the cost of the work herein pro
posed, which will be as follows :
A stone masonry diverting dam on Kim
berly Run with intake and screen chambers,
about 8,250 feet of 12 inch tile connecting it
with the distributing reservoir. This reser
voir to hold about one million gallons. Tbe
cast iron line connecting it with the town
system should be 12 inches in diameter. The
town system should be as shown per blue
print furnished.
The elevation of this distributing reservoir
wonld be 100 feet higher than the diamond
and with the sizes of mains proposed, would
guarantee you ample fire protection. To
obtain a much greater bead on tbe Kimber
ly Run, would sacrifice a large portion of
the available wster shed and double the ex.
pense of the supply lines.
The work contemplated as above describ
ed, including all necessary accessories not
mentioned in the following detail of quan
titles, can be erected in a nio.-t substantial
manner for the amounts mentioned.
HtTklBCTI50 SYSTEM.
1,200 feet 12 inch pipe, 2,?00 fret 8 inch
pipe, 6,HK) feet 6 inch pipe. 9,9"0 feet 4 Inch
pipe, 26 valves, 3." hydrants, 12,'M) pounds
specials.
srrrLY uses.
7,573 feet 12 inch pipe, I one million" gal.
Ion reservoir, 8,250 feet 12 inch tile, stone
dam Kimberly Run, intake and screen
chamber, engineering and superintendence
of construction, 7 per cent Total coat, $41,-
965.40.
The above estimate has nothing inclnd
ed for land or right-of-way which, I think.
can be assumed as inexpensive.
If I have not furnished you with the in.
formation aesirea in tnis preliminary re
port, I shall be pleased to correspond with
you further upon theubject.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. KviGRT.
Bom N. Y. Sept 1, 1891.
Gextleuex In mv estimate on east of
the intake and dam on Kimberly Run, also
for the one million gallicn reservoir, I as
sumed them to cost what similar work bad
cost elsewhere, but it might be possible to
reduce the cost of the two former by nearly
one half and of the reservoir about one half
providing one fourth of the capacity a hould
be considered sufficient storage for fire pur
poses. If at the inlake at Kimberly run we should
find that a fairly good filter gallery can be
constructed the size of the distributing
reservoir might be still more reduced, that ia
down to 150,000 or 200,000 gallons capacity.
This would reduce the cost of that part of
the work about $5,0o0.
Rather than reduce the size of the supply
main from 12 inches to 10 inches, I should
much prefer to reduce the weight of the 12
inch to the lowest allowable limit as a 10
inch would not give you what we would
consider a suitable fire service.
We will be pleased to correspond wilh
you further on the subject and will make a
preliminary survey, so as to determine very
closuly what tbe cost would be, if yonr peepl
think they can arrange in some way to go
on with the works, provided they will be
likely to cost from $-JO,0o0 to $so,000.
Yours truly,
C. W. Kuight.

Train Robbers Shot Down.
I vain. Tex, Sept 5 Tbe train rob
bers who were thought to have escaped
across the Rio Grande with a sum said to be
$20,000, which they secured from the express
car on the Southern Pacific Railroad, were
met yesterday by a body of Rangers who
had been in pursuit, and a battle took place.
Reports received say that thirteen robbers
and two rangers were killed and several on
both sides were wounded.
The engagement was short, as the bandits
were outnumbered. Tbey held the beat po
sition, however, and stood their ground an
til their dead and wounded were so great
that resistance was impossible, and then the
remainder fled. It is said that two men es
caped.

to such a point that, although it advertises a
capital prize, of $300,000, yet it does not now
sell more than tbe half of any ticket, so
that it ia impossible for ths capital prize to

Dattos, O, Sept. 6. Louis Motzel, a hand
some, well-educated ex-convict, recently re
leased from the Columbus Penitentiary, fell
in love with pretty Ella Gray. The girl re
ciprocated the feeling, and, notwithstanding
her father's warnings, continued to meet her
burglar lover clandestinely.
Early Saturday morning Motzel went to
Gray's house and, after securing an entrance
by means of a jimmy, he proceeded to the
room where his sweetheart was confined
and pried the lock off her door. He then
ransacked ths house, taking $1,500 in valua
ble papers, $75 in cash and $160 in valuables
and nearly all the girl's clothing. It is sup
posed the couple have gone to Kentucky
and were married. Although nearly heart
