'fhe annual charges for an independent plant would be $3,100 less for 1930 than purchasing water from Evanston, and ·wo~ld be approximately $12,700 less by 1935, about $30,000 less by 1940, $39,100 less by 1945, and $55,800 less b)r 1950-figuring the present rates of payment for water from Evanston and the present cos of power and other operating expenses. $340,000 Project (~ontinued Wo~then,Carrico . ~ Company Wil. 588 and 589 .

This would take care of water supply until 1940, at which time additional filtering unfu and pumps could be installed. Offer .mprovement Programs . Sugge1;tinns offered by the engineering finn of CoQ~ot-r, Old .., r and Quinlan retainE>d seYeral months ago by the' Village board, to make a thorough survey of th e J)rt>!'ent water ~mpply situation and pr<:-s<' nt r~.:commendations include the :·ollowing p1·ograms: ' ... Owing to the rapid incrE>ase of area · and population the water supply facilities are considerably inadequate during the ~ummer for the household and lawn neE>~s of the citizens and protection ~gamst th·e. Investigation shows that 1t is neces~ary to .maintain 15 to 20 ]Jounds higher pre~s ure in the down-town dist~ict in order to ;;upply adequately the terntory west of fifteenth street. Water pressure records in the down-town districts show that pressures as low as 5 and 10 pound~ exist at times. Consequently, the citizens in the western terdtory receive no water at the first and second floor faucets during those periods. In order to remedy the present conditions and proYide for water supply during the future developments of the village, the following programs have been outlined by the enginet:r: Program A: 'Vork to be completed previous to June 1, 19:!8. Among the items mention ~ d are: Replacement of present water meters on the Evanston supply mains as they are of the type which retards the flow of water with the resultant decrease of 10 pounds pt·essure. Installation of an additional 2,000 gallon pump and construction of 400,000 gallon elevated tank in the western territory. _The est}m~te of cost is placed at $40,6<>0, and 1t 1s stated that these improv.emen ts will take care of developments up to .June, 1930, ·at whiGtl time program B should be followed. Program B : This work should be completed during the summer of 1928 and includes the installation of a 24 inch main through portions of Evanston and Wilmette and a 16 inch main from Sheridan road, Wilmette, to Ridge avenue, also a number of smaller mains in the territory east of the C. & N. W. R. R. Two pumps, one of 1,500 gallons per minute and one of 3,000 ~allons per minute ~hould be prt~vided at that time, also a number of hydrants in the business district. It is estimated that this program will cost about $160,000. In order to elimina~e the elevated tank mentioned in Progr:tm A, the engineers suggest that the it~ms mentioned in both programs can be combined with the installation of four smaller pumps, all of which work sh0uld be commenced immediately. In 1935 it will be · necessary to provide for a pumping stati.on at the lake front independent of Evanston, at which time an elevated tank in the western t~rritory_ will be necessary if it has not been provided under pr0..,~ram A. It ts estimated that these improvements will cost about $200,000. Board Studies Plana Values Li-ke These Are Making Our Dress Section Popular!
