City ollicials und Interested parties
who attended the council meeting last
night and listened to the explanation of
the Improvements ol the water system
an proposed by Hon. II. V. Gates lor the
Klamath Falls Mght & Water Co. were
iulle lavorabl) Impressed with the plan,
lly menus of diagram. Mr. Gates showed
the iunulliicieiicy of the present protec
tion In cai-e ol lire and also how his
company proioiM-d tu remedy matters.
A ill.uram ol Ihu system showed that
the water mains ol the city run east and
west with a cross pipe eveiy three
block's, but in many parts these pipes
nre not connected, so that the circuit.
tlon o( the system is lar from being even
good. At the present time there are
only short hections ot six-inch pipe on
Klamath avenue, the lompany proposes
to extend this p!K the lull length ol the
nvenue, giving additional protection lor
Main street and making It possible to
lower the Ure Insurance rate according
to Insurance men who are conversant
with the conditions.
The company proposes to connect up
all sections ot plw In all parts ol the
city so as to perlect the circulation of
the system and thereby furnish protec
tion for every district within the cor
jioratu limits. In order to do this it
will be necessary to expend approxi
mately 3,000 in the laying ol additional
pipes, which the company Is willing to
do II the city will Install fifty-one
hydrants, which, with the nine contract
h)drant, will give ample (Ire protection.
The company proposes that the city
hall buy and install the additional
hydrants and own the tame, the nine
now- Installed being the property ol Ibe
company and the city paying annually
therefor $305, this being the amount
dxed by the contract.
The company realizes that the city
could not pay for sixty hydrant, at this
rate and has mado the proposition that
II the city will install the additional
tllty-ono hydrants, they will make an
annual charge ol I,L00 for the sixty,
thus adding only 395 to the present
hyd.aiit cost and getting therefor fifty
one nddltloual plugs. Mr. Gates esti
mated that the hydrants could be pur
chased and Installed for about 30 each.
In addition to the l.u lug ol the pipe
the plans (or the improvement of the
water system provide for the comple
tion ot the two reservoirs that are now
In the course of construction and for the
Installation of a pump that will throw
600 gallons per minute. The one pump
now in use has a capacity ot 0u gallons,
and the second one Is added as h safe
guard In case the one should break while
lire is raging. The two pumps and
1 the three reservoirs w ill glre five sources
oi supply in case oi nre aim win tuve a
tendency to an automatic regulation of
the pressure whero elnvatiuns are the
same Under the imprpied system the
fire pressure on Main street will be ap
proximately 100 pounds, while on Klam
ath avenue It will be a lew pounds more
and In other sections a trifle less.
Mr. Gates did not urge the council to
enter Into a contract, but presented the
proposition In a way that made It plain
that the present protection it inadequate
In the extreme and that by following
out tlm plan proposed by thompany
the city will be atle to secure the best
possible protection. The mayor, council
and property owners preent seemed
favorably Impressed and It Ir very prob"
able-that 'soma action will belaleo on
the matter in the near future.
