The funds provided by the sale of $70,000 of water bonds last year, plus the funds provided by the sale of $26,000 of water bonds this year, a total of $95,000, has been invested, first, in a pumping station; running raw water supply line from 'pumping station to sedimentation basin, thence to filters; erection of a filter; enlarge ment df power house, an installation of two 1,000 gallon pumps, the exten sion of water lines, and the erection of hydrants in various sections of the town, principally in* the cotton mill village. A portion of this work has not yet been completed. The sedimen tation basin is expected to be com pleted in two weeks. The extension of water mains and erection of hydrants is going on now rapidly. When the above fund is expended there will still 4>e needed about $15,000 of additional investment, for which no bonds have been issued,V° r extensions of water mains and erection of hydrants on streets which have sewer facilities, but are not supplied with water, in the mill village. The council has been hesitating in regard to going into this expenditure. However, the sewers on streets not supplied with water will be useless until water is supplied. There is no income from the sewer system, nor any income from the general invest ment in the water system without distributing lines to carry the water to the customers. Hence the invest ment of this additional $15,000 would appear to be not only necessary for the use of the sewer system and the .general benefit of the public, but also wise as a means of increasing the in- ceme of the toyrn through the sale of water, for line extensions and their accompanying hydrants, represent a relatively small portion of the in vestment necessary for such distribu tion of water, though the income from the sale of water is absolutely depend ent upon, such distributing lines. It is. probable that if the cost of the sewer system and the general equip ment of the water system, as well as the distributing system, were comput ed, the ratio of the distributing sys tem to the total investment would not exceed 30 per cent. Hence the investment of $15,000 ad ditional in water main extensions would bring into productive efficiency $50,000 of investment, though the ad ded cost of these extensions will be only about $15,000. Even with this $15,000 of investment water will not have been supplied to all .inhabited regions of the town. Clinton’s water system will be far from perfect even with the above additional investment. It is only a question of time when the raw water supply line will have to be extended to some other source of sup ply, probably Duncan’s Creek, apd with the larger development of the city it will have to go on to Enoree river. This v may be averted for some years, however, owing to the fact that Clinton Cotton Mill is now being elec trified and will therefore not consume the large quantity of water which it has been consuming for the boilers, so that Beard’s Fork may perhaps be available in the main Tor water sup ply up to a population development of 8,000 or 10,000 people. At the present time it has failed owing to the fact that the cotton mill has first call upon the water. Any industrial development likely to occur in Clinton is likely to depend upon electric current, so that the de velopment of use of steam power is extremely unlikely, thus reducing the likely need in the way of water. Fortunately the deep well System has saved the city in the present drought. Without it Clinton would have had a water famine. At the present time the streams which are flowing best within a reasonable distance of Clin ton, are as follows, when measured from the standpoint of purity of the water antf the Volumefirst, BeaVer- dam creek; second, Duncan’s creek; third, North creek. This eliminates Little River as it is a polluted stream, receiving the sewage from Laureris. All of these streams are small and ul* timately it will be necessary tp go to a river, Enoree being the nearest. So it would seem that the likely develop ment of the water system of Clinton will be first, Duncan’s creek, later to Enoree river. The streams lying east of the town are too insignificant for consideration. Sand creek is now absolutely dry, not flowing at all. Duncan’s creek, further down on the Calhoun highway, is amply large, but receives the drainage water from the town of Clinton, and would be unde sirable as a source of supply, though perhaps no more undesirable than Enoreei river water. It is likely that the toWn will have to increase its pumping capacity at thej>umping sta tion, where it now has a pump of about 340 gallons per minute capacity. This should be increased to 1,000 gal lons per minute capacity, and avail able either by electric power or gaso line -engine. With such an improve ment of equipment the water system would probably be ample for at least ten or fifteen years, subject only to necessary line extensions as new streets are opened and present streets are developed with building opera tions. ”• t l* . .1 - ♦ < . f ♦ THE JEDGE’S JOSH j reason.
