If the water could be sold for plant cost it would mean that a The largest year for pumpage was in 1930â€"31, when due to a large leak the plant pumped 876.84 milâ€" lion gallons. During the fiscal year ending May 1, 1989, the pumpage amounted to a little over 782 million gallons, at a plant operatâ€" pable or willing to handle. Prior to the election of the present adminisâ€" tration, Mr. Robert Greenslade was the commissioner having jurisdicâ€" tion of the water department for the previous eight years. The water department is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Lyle Gourâ€" ley, who is the commissioner of pubâ€" lic health and safety. While Mr. Gourley has been a member of the council for over 16 years, this is the first time that he has headed this department. Due to his long service in the eouncil he is probably more famliiar with the problems of the water department than any othâ€" er man with the exception of Mr. George Prindle, who has been suâ€" perintendent of the plant, since construction and was resident engiâ€" neer with the engineering firm that built the plant. Mr. Prindle‘s enâ€" gineering experience dates back for 30 years. The plant is his pride and he is always glad to show visâ€" itors through it. It is kept spotâ€" lessly clean, so clean that one could virtually eat off the floor, The perâ€" sonnel of the plant is the smallest compared to its output of any town on the north shore, consisting of four regular employees and a part time gardener besides Mr. Prindle. Besides his duties as superintendâ€" ent, Mr. Prindle is the chemist, a Our plant, which is situated on the lake front just north of Cenâ€" tral avenue, is one of the finest and most modern of any city comparâ€" able in size to Highland Park. It was completed in 1980 at a cost of approximately oneâ€"half million dolâ€" lars. This does not include the cost of the property rights, standâ€" pipe or connections. The construcâ€" tion was the result of an $850,000 bond issue for that purpose, which was discounted $78,000. This issue was a 4%% issue extending 20 years, which should be paid by 1949. From the revenue received these bonds are being paid off annually on a sliding scale. The normal caâ€" pacity of the plant is 7,000,000 galâ€" lons a day. The property belongâ€" ing to the plant is approximately two and oneâ€"third acres and the plant was arranged so as to allow for future expansion at a comparâ€" ative low cost. 1 though many of us have felt the rate for water is too high in our city, water is still the cheapest thing we can use. Under the presâ€" ent rate we receive over 37 gallons of water for one cent, delivered to our homes (a quart of charged waâ€" ter usually costs ten cents or more). There are people who will drink comparatively warm water usually because they do not want to waste the water necessary to get cool water, which would cost a small fraction of a cent, yet that same person will allow what he considâ€" ers a small leak to continue indefâ€" initely, which may in fact amount to many gallons a dayâ€"a leak which will fill a tumbler in a minâ€" ute amounts to 90 gallons a day. One way to keep the water bill down is to have leaks repaired promptly. ‘There being mo council meeting this week due to Labor Day, your reporter is taking this opportunity of presenting facts concerning one of the most important departments administered â€"by the council, one which affects the daily life of every citizen of Highland Park, namelyâ€" the water department. The majority of us think only of water as a netesâ€" sary liquid that comes out of the sary liquid that comes out of the faucet and give no further thought to it unless the odor or taste is disâ€" agreeable or when the bill arrives, which always seems much too high. We are apt to take our water supply for granted, even though, conditions where a glass of water would be worth a great deal. Even The Hinklanm Park Press | RaiphBard, 531 N.

The last that was heard from them was from Glasgow, Scotland a few days previous to the sinking of the Athenia. It is not known whether thew were aboard this liner or not as the United Press did not have a complete list of the passengers. The City of Flint was enroute to the United States when news of the tragedy was received. ‘The boat retraced its enurse and picked up many of the Athenia passengers who had spent from 10 to 12 hours in a life boat, which was filled waist deep with water. The survivors of the illâ€"fated ship were practically without clothing and those in the life boat used their shoes to bale water out of the boat.
