about 600,000 to 700,000 gallons, raltho the latter figure was best. They recommended tl
installation of a new tank on Oregon St. nt Elevation 510, instead of the present Elevat.
475: present tank's elev:tion should also be increased to Elevation 510, which would
give the city water pressure of 65 lbs. instead of the present 45 lbs. They also
recommended revision of the present pumping system, stating that the city would save mon
its power bill b modernizing the enuipment.
Watsr Mnnager McGhee stated that he agreed somewhat with the recommendations
the engineers, but thou,ht that a 300,000 gallon tankwould be sufficient at the present
time, as in 5 or 6 years time when bonds are -11 paid off, mother tank could be install
He thought Elevation 475 would be better than the higher one, as there are still some wo
mains in use which might not withstand a higher pressure, altho the city's program provi(
for gradual replacement of the wooden Twins. He asked the council to give early consid
to the matter of the improvements to the water system. Motion rade by Wirth, ndalkx
seconded by Burns and carried, that the engineers' report be turned over to the ''Vater
Committee and that the committee bring in a report at the next meeting on Dec. 16th.

vending machines would be installed in the city about January 1st but that present lie

will be brought in.
