M. At the Clubhouse IP you are satisfied or dissatisfied with your water rates or supply, ATTEND THIS MEETING. ]r:k; Report of the Water Committee Country -Club Association Mr. Paul Latham, President, Country Club Association: ,At the regular meeting of the Country Club Association of Edina on October 10, 1934, the undersigned residents were appointed a special com- mittee to investigate the Country Club water service problem and the pos- sible solutions thereof. Our report follows: The Water Problem of Edina That Edina has a very real water problem is so obvious that it requires no proof. That the problem has existed for many years is evidenced by the fact that the Country Club Association has appointed committees from time to time to suggest a solution, although none of the recommendations made have been carried out to definite action. The conditions remain the same and it is the hope of the present committee that the discussion herein will give sufficient information to enable the residents to choose intelligently some satisfactory plan. The question resolves itself as follows: 1. The present source of supply 2. Quality of water now furnished 3. Rates 4. Uncertainty of permanent arrangements The present source of supply is from the City of Minneapolis through the Country Club District Service Corp. This company so far as we can determine, is not financially situated to assure permanency of the present arrangement nor to provide for changes even though such changes might materially improve the situation of the water user as to quality and the rates charged. We are informed that this corporation has no assets other than those pertaining to the water and sewer system of this village. General dissatisfaction has been expressed by residents over quality of water, rates charged and in some instances the pressure maintained. In addition, rates were increased a short time ago 2.7c per hundred cubic feet and are now at 17.1c or 22.8c per thousand gallons, this being 2.2 times the rate charged. within the City of Minneapolis. Further, we have been informed that 'the City may require the installation of 300,000 gallons additional storage capacity which the present owners of the system have stated may require a rate of not less than 27.4c per thousand cubic feet or 36.5c per thousand gallons. Survey to Determine Possible Solutions This-committee has endeavored to obtain dependable information as to the different solutions available, these :being as follows: 1. Continuation of present arrangements 2. New arrangements with City of Minneapolis 3. Independent supply from artesian wells -3— WATER COMMITTEE REPORT, 1935 In developing the matter the thought has been to furnish sufficient information to enable each resident to decide individually which, in his opinion, is the most practical solution. The ground covered by the com- mittee may be briefly summarized as follows: 1. Previous surveys 2. Discussion with City officials as to with the city of Minneapolis 3. Requirements of the District 1. Quantity 2. Pressure 4. Availability of artesian well water 1. Quantity 2. Quality 3. Cost of establishing well supply possible new arrangements 4. Cost of operation and rates to consumer Continuation of Present Arrangements The present water system is operated by the Country Club District Service Corp. under a franchise which terminates in 1948. This franchise makes no specification of rates other than than they must be fair, reason- able and just. The company may abandon the system at any time without penalty other than that of passing title to the system to the Village of Edina. The Village may acquire the system either by purchase or con- demnation on 30 days' notice to the Company, the consideration to be the normal reproduction cost but without allowance for intangibles. That Company purchases water from the City of Minneapolis at the rate of 12c per 100 cubic feet. The committee is informed by the City that the water company has no contract with the City. Recently the City has made demand on the Company that it must install 300,000 gallons additional storage which, we are informed by the Company, would necessitate a further large, increase in rates. The following is a summary and comparison of the Minneapolis rates, the old and new Edina rates and the prospective rate if such tank be required: Mpls. Old Present Prospective Rate to Edina Edina Edina Mpls. User Rate C. C. D. S. Co. Rate Rate Rate 100 cu. ft. 7.5c 12.Oc 14.4c 17.1c 27.5c 1000 gals. 10.0c 16.Oc 19.2c 22.8c 36.5c The probability is that the present rates will continue indefinitely unless the City of Minneapolis should enforce its demand for the addi- tional storage facilities, which would involve the rate in column five above. Such additional storage, however,. should be used to effect some reduction in rate on account of the fact that such storage should permit filling of the storage tanks in off peak periods. The advantages and disadvantages of continuing with the present supply may be summarized as follows:. —4— COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION Advantages: 1. Sufficient supply is assured 2. Freedom from breakdowns or other interruption of service 3. No additional outlay for facilities Disadvantages: 1. Present quality objectionable to many residents on account chlorine or other chemicals used in purification 2. Some objection has been raised on account of low pressure in certain areas 3. Rate is considered altogether too high in comparison with rate charged to City residents, the rate being 2.2 times the City consumer rate. 4. Not cool enough for use in air conditioning or for drinking water 5. Possibility of abandonment of system by C. C. D. S. Co. with no facilities for Village operation Arrangements with City of Minneapolis Your committee has approached the Water Department of the City of Minneapolis to determine if possible, whether any arrangements could be made whereby the City of Minneapolis could handle the water supply of the Village of Edina on any satisfactory basis. The bases suggested were as follows: 1. Acquisition by the City of the Edina water system and opera- tion as a part of the City system 2. Acquisition of. the water system by the Village and contract with the City for operation, service costs to be paid by the Village While we have been informed that the questions were referred to the City Attorney's office about two months ago, we have received no answer to our questions and, therefore, are not in a position to give any data rela- tive to such possible bases of operation. We feel, too, that such a problem is more properly a matter for nego- tiation by the respective City''and Village governmental bodies, and sug- gest that the council be requested to open negotiations with the City with the view of ascertaining what benefit may be obtained. This committee is of the opinion that the present rate charged by the City to 'the Service Company is not justified on the basis of cost of water to the City. According to the annual reports of the City Water Depart- ment for 1933 and 1934 a substantial net income was shown on the basis of a water rate to consumers of 10c per 1,000 gallons. It should be under- stood that this rate is on a'retail basis and includes administrative charges, meter reading, accounting, etc., while the rate charged the Service Com- pany is 6c per 1,000 gallons higher on a wholesale basis than the City retail rate. While the City should . not be asked to deliver water to Edina at cost and such service should include a reasonable profit as well as a charge for interest and depreciation, we feel. that even reasonable allow- ances for these charges should produce a "rate substantially lower than that now charged. Referring,to a previous section of this report it will-be noted that the —5— WATER COMMITTEE REPORT, 1935 City is now charging the present Water Company for water 16c 'per 1,000 gallons, or, 6c in excess of the retail charge to City consumers, (10c per 1,000). Thus the sale to the Water Company ostensibly at a wholesale rate is 60% higher than the retail rate to the City consumer. To this 16c the Country Club District Service Corporation adds 6.8c per 1,000 gallons for expense of distribution, making the total rate to the Edina resident 22.8c per 1,000 gallons at present. To determine whether or not artesian water can be supplied at a lower rate, the consumer should consider that this distribution cost is a fixed charge. The only other question necessary to consider is whether well water could be delivered into the mains at less than 16c per 1,000 gallons. Subsequent sections of this report indicate that water can be delivered into the mains for about 4e to 6c, that is at least 10c per 1,000 gallons less than now. Well Supply There has been considerable discussion of the possibility of a well sup- ply for water. This question has not before, so far as our committee is aware, been thoroughly explored and in view of the problems in connec- tion with such a proposal it was felt advisable to investigate sufficiently to determine certain facts relative thereto. In considering the possibility of the Village obtaining its own supply from artesian wells, the following points were thoroughly studied: 1. Legal requirements for acquisition and operation 2. Maximum quantity required and quantity available. 3. Quality of water available 4. Cost of acquisition of present facilities and additional facilities necessary 5. Cost of operation and estimated rates necessary 6. Comparison of costs as, estimated with similar operations and with City costs The Village may finance such acquisition by issuing bonds, or by acquiring such facilities on contract without any lien except on facilities covered by such contract, provided the necessary authority is voted. Thorpe Bros., Inc., have indicated that such a contract is acceptable to them. The means of financing the remainder of the necessary facilities will have to be the subject of negotiations. It is felt from information already at hand that a similar basis may be worked out, although the cost may be somewhat higher than through cash purchase. The committee examined the records of the C. C. D. S. Co. as to the amount of water purchased from the City of Minneapolis and found that the quantity was as follows: 1932 ________________________ 6,709,900 cu. ft. 1933 -------------------------- 8,670,800 cu. ft. 1934 ________________________ 8,915,300 cu. ft. During the severe hot weather in the summer of 1934 several readings were taken at the meter at 50th and France during the time of the heaviest .. COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION usage (between hours of 4 and 7 p. m.), the maximum reading being at the rate of 425 gallons per minute, although the average daily delivery amounted to 183,191, or 127 gallons per minute in 1934. . This indicated to the committee that facilities for a supply of 1,000 gallons per minute should be sufficient to cover present maximum require- ments and to take care of the normal expected growth for several years in the future. - As to the quantity of water available the committee examined geologic surveys available at the University of Minnesota showing rock structure underlying this area and also the report and survey of the Pillsbury Engi- neering Company made for the Layne- Northwest Company in 1932 when this type of supply was being discussed for the City of Minneapolis. The committee has also studied the results obtained from many artesian wells in use in the downtown district of Minneapolis, and the well in use at the Country Club golf course, which is located almost in the District. From these studies the committee is of the opinion that the best quality of water is obtainable in unlimited quantities from the Jordan sandstone level, which would call for wells of approximately 450 feet in depth. The geologic struc- ture of this territory indicates a basin of approximately. 100 miles in diam- eter from east. to west, south into Iowa and north to St. Cloud. Reliable hydraulic engineers state that the water in this stratum would not be,exhausted for several hundred years, even if no infiltration occurred. There are approximately 400 wells in use in the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul (metropolitan area) at depths of from 400 feet to 500 feet. From the above mentioned survey, geologic studies available and the experience of present well users it would seem the sufficiency of the water available in the Jordan sandstone cannot well be doubted. There remains, however, the question of the quality of this water, as to taste, mineral content, and temperature. Most of the residents of the District if they have not already done so can familiarize themselves with the taste of this water at any of the downtown buildings mentioned above. The committee finds that it is a desirable drinking water. That it is pumped from the ground at temperatures of about 48 degrees, that it should be delivered at the faucet in homes of the District at from 50 to 55 degrees and that it can be successfully used for air cooling in the sum- mer when less than 60 degrees. The temperature of city water at the fau- cets in the home sometimes exceeds 75 degrees and is unavailable for air conditioning. In mineral content the water slightly exceeds in hardness the city water and iron removal equipment would be necessary. The present owners of the system indicated in 'a letter in November that the franchise and certain facilities which were not included in the purchase price of the lots could be obtained for from $15,250 to $16,500, depending on the amount of land taken where the present tank is situated. While the time limit for acceptance specified in that letter has expired, we believe there should be no difficulty in obtaining a renewal of the offer. That offer contemplated the acquisition of such facilities on a contract payable quarterly plus interest at 5 %. On that basis no general lien would be created against property owners. In order to complete the facilities necessary to furnish an adequate —7— WATER COMMITTEE REPORT, 1935 supply of well water at proper pressure, it would be necessary to add the following: Two 12 -inch wells approximately 450 to 500 feet in depth. Two sets of low lift and high lift pumps with a capacity of 500 gallons per minute each, including necessary electrical equipment, housing, etc. One filtration tank for iron and gas removal. Such equipment was estimated by our engineer to cost installed $18,200, and as a check McCarthy Bros., well known well contractors esti- mated similarly at $17,900. It is quite possible that such equipment could be acquired on a contract basis, although the contractor would necessarily require a contract protecting a proper rate for water and no doubt the equipment would cost more than on a cash basis. Capacity of the above facilities is sufficient to cover the needs of the present Country Club District when fully developed, and still leave a sub- stantial excess for emergencies. Readings taken during the past summer at the time of heaviest usage showed 425 gpm., which is less than the rated capacity of a single set of pumps such as are proposed. Cost of operation has been carefully estimated and checked. This is estimated to amount to from $9,600 per year at the beginning when inter- est charges are heaviest, to $7,600 until debt has been fully amortized as shown by the attached table. As interest charges are reduced the saving may be applied to debt or divided between debt and water rates. It is felt that at the beginning a substantial reserve should be provided from earn- ings to cover decreased revenue resulting from an unusually wet season or for unforeseen emergencies. Sound policy would warrant a fixed charge through general taxes for fire protection, street flushing, etc., represented by hydrants in use. This is estimated for the District alone at approxi- mately $3 per lot per year. —8— COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION ESTIMATED COST OF OPERATING WATER SYSTEM Estimated Cost per Cost per C-04 1,000 Geis. 100 Cu.

Any information of value in such answers, therefore, must be furnished by the council. The committee has, however, made some investigation of water rates in several cities and villages using well water. Following is a list of such cities and villages with the charge which we are informed is made for 7,000 cubic feet as compared with the present Edina rate. For 7,000 Cubic Feet Edina ---------------- - - - - -- 11.97 Osseo ---------------- - - - - -- 10.05 Mankato _____________ __ - - -- 7.16 Anoka --------------- -- ____ 6.90 Waconia ------------- 9.24 Northfield _______ ____ _ ______ 7.30 - - - - -- Austin --------------- 9.80 Shakopee ____________ 7.81 Hopkins ------ ------- - - - - -- - - - - -- 7.88 All the above municipalities except Edina supply well water. There are, of course, numerous cities and villages in which rates charged are higher than those listed. It is probable, however, that no one will seriously urge that any other community is so favorably adapted to a low rate as is the Country Club. Here we have a compact community closely built up with an extraordinarily high per capita use resulting from several factors such as: 1. Large lawns and pride in caring for them 2. More bathroom units per home 3. More air conditioning units 4. More humidification units. 5. All residents use more than minimum rate. The result is that sparsely settled villages and cities with a large per- centage of minimum users will furnish no fair, basis for comparison.. The problem for Edina must be .analyzed as the factors exist here. No other city except with the same factors of use and, cost will furnish us a prece- dent. We submit herewith a list of the more important questions raised and the answers, which will assist in an understanding of the problems. 1. Q. Will the State Health Department pass well water? A. Yes. Most cities and villages in the state use well water. 2. Q. Is well water suitable for drinking purposes and is it colder than Minneapolis water? A. Well water from the Jordan sandstone is pumped at a tem- perature of about 50 degrees F. and is much colder and much more desir- able for drinking purposes than Minneapolis water. It should reach the faucets at about 55 degrees F. and hence is cold enough for air condition- ing of homes. The temperature of city water at the faucets is frequently 75 degrees in the summer time and has reached 80 degrees. Most large downtown buildings have their own wells for this artesian water supply to the Jordan sandstone. They installed and maintain the wells strictly as a matter of economy and everyone reports a saving over city water. —11— WATER COMMITTEE REPORT, 1935 3. Q. Is it true that well water contains a high iron content and will it stain plumbing fixtures? A. The facilities proposed in connection with a well supply include an iron removal filter so that no rust stain will be present on plumbing fixtures. The item for iron removal appears in the estimate for cost of equipment and has been confirmed by material men. 4. Q. Will it be necessary to chlorinate the water so that a medi- cated taste is present? A. No. Under the proposed plan no chemicals will be added. Iron will, however, be removed. Hardness of Water 5. Q. What is the hardness of .the water from the Jordan sandstone as compared with city water? A. City water tests from 10 to 16 grains of hardness. Tests of the Jordan sandstone water show 18 grains of hardness. 6. Q. Will this additional hardness clog hot water pipes and neces- sitate constant repairs? A. This additional hardness will not clog the cold water pipes and the hot water pipes should give very little more trouble than with the water now used. 7. Q. If wells are installed, why not soften the water at the wells? A. In a report of the Projects, Planning and Development Commit- tee of April 11th, 1935, made by a .committee consisting of George Strong, L. M. Harkness, Louis Stein, A. C. Eggert, C. T. Hay, L. H. Fletcher, Ben B., Moore and D. S. Knapp, the possible plan for a combination five - story community building and water plan was discussed, but apparently not recommended for immediate construction. In that report the com- mittee said: "Should the Village go to wells for a water supply, this space would be an ideal one for the water softening process." The space re- ferred to was the lower basement of a proposed double basement in such building. This committee believes that it would be highly uneconomical to soften the whole water supply for the following reasons: Accepted water experts advise that only 10% of the water used in each house goes into the hot water system and only about 7% requires soap. The committee has con- firmed this by separate test meters on the hot and cold water lead pipes in the Country Club on household consumption and is found to be accu- rate. There is no need of softening the water used for lawn sprinkling, flushing, etc. For those who wish soft water, a small home softener would do the job much more economically. These softeners can be purchased as low as $50.00 and would pay out in a short period, even on our present City water. Many of them are in use in the City of Minneapolis and some in the Country Club now. Service and Adequacy of Supply 8. Q. Will we be able to depend on adequate water pressure at all times? A. A member of the present committee put in a meter at Thorpe Bros.' main connection with the City system at France and 50th last sum- -12— COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION mer during the hottest weather and found that the maximum load in any hour, while there was a great deal of lawn sprinkling going on between the hours of 4 and 7 p. m., was 420 gallons per minute. The plan for well supply provides. for 1,000 gallons per minute supplied by two 500,G. P. M. pumps, which is more than twice the maximum load, and with the storage tank still in reserve. 9. Q. Is it true that the City of Minneapolis is demanding the install- ation of a 300,000- gallon tank? A. Yes. The present owners have increased the rate three cents, effective January 15th, and state that the installation of such a tank will require further increase to 271/2 cents per hundred cubic feet. Rates 10. Q. Is a step rate, as outlined, practical, and is it in use in other cities? A. Yes. The form proposed of having a lower charge for increased use has been found desirable by practically all public utilities as it is from increased use that additional profits accrue. 11. Q. What is proposed in case cost of operation is lower than esti- mated? A. It is felt that a reasonable reserve fund should be established for emergencies, after which excess earnings may be applied to the reduc- tion of debt or to lowering of rates or to both proportionately. 12. Q. How can proposed rate savings be possible when a majority of the towns here in the Northwest get their water supply from wells and have a much higher rate? A. Most towns have an investment of forty to fifty dollars per capita in water pipe lines, plus ten to, fifteen dollars per capita in wells and tanks. The proposition we have from Thorpe Bros. would amount to only five dollars per capita for the pipe lines, 'that is, about ten per cent of the average. Furthermore, our electric power rate for pumping is below the average. 13. Q. What would be the estimated saving for Country Club users and what would be the eventual rate when the original investment has been paid off should wells be put in for the supply? A. The savings under the new increased rate will appear by com- parison on the table attached. However, under the present rate as recently increased, a water bill for a quarter amounting to about $21 or $22, would be about $12 at the rates estimated for well supply. 14. Q. How were the proposed rates and the estimated revenue there from arrived at .and can they be depended upon? A. The total amount of water sold since the system was first oper- ated by Thorpe Bros. to each house user by quarters was determined and taken off from their books, so that the average amount that each house- holder used in each quarter was determined. It was next determined that in the most recent years 6,715,000 cubic feet were sold at the 'meters by Thorpe Bros. The calculations are based on those total sales assumed for the future and from the amount of water used by each householder it was determined that at the different step rates the total of all the users would produce the amount of revenue which is estimated. The cost of pumping, 13— WATER COMMITTEE REPORT, 1935 however, was based on a total of 8,900,000 cubic feet, which it was shown *as- actually actually purchased and paid for by Thorpe Bros., . the difference between that and the amount which they sold being used for other pur- poses or otherwise consumed. The calculations for the cost of operation took this into account and, for example, the cost of electricity was calcu- lated on what would be necessary to 'pump the larger amount. General Questions 1. Q. Why should people outside of the Country Club District pay for A water system for the District? A. By the plan of the committee they are not required to do so. The plan is self - liquidating in fifteen years out of water revenues. The issuance of village bonds, which may or may not be a lien on the whole Village in the meantime, should not be complained of since 48 % of the taxes of the Village are paid by the Country Club District, and the preser- vation and protection of that taxable property is important to the whole Village. 2. Q. Will a creosote taste occur in the well water? A. There is no creosote taste in the Country Club Golf Course well which pumps a maximum of 800 gallons per minute, nearly twice the maxi- mum load of the Country Club District at present. Creosote taste has not appeared in the artesian water supply of any of the downtown Minneapolis buildings. It has not appeared in the Cascade well; the only well where it is known to have appeared is in that of St. Louis Park, which is the point where the pollution by creosote occurred from the creosote plants in St. Louis Park. 3. Q. Why should the Village operate and acquire the system unless it, will be adequate to all future developments in the Village? A. The Village comprises 16 square miles and some day will be completely built up. If the village provided for such future development now, it would be much worse off than St. Louis Park. The present duty is, of course, to present water users. Any subsequent development could not ask for the village to contract beyond its facilities or except under a contract calling for the payment by the developer of additional capacity, until the property was improved and occupied. The Village cannot be forced to connect with vacant lots and under the law new mains must be paid for by users. 4. Q. Why should we pay Thorpe Bros. anything for the water im- provements? A. If the council can procure these improvements free, the commit- tee will welcome it. The committee is simply submitting the best propo- sal it has been able to procure and on the terms proposed by the committee it accomplishes an enormous improvement in rates and supply over the present water situation. Acquisition of the existing distribution system without cost would, of course, make a greater improvement than that proposed by the committee. The Sewer System This committee was also requested to make a study of the future of —14— .COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION °,ij the sewer system.. This is also owned, by the. Country Club District Service Cori*,,Th6 Village Council of Edina now pays an annual ,charge of $250.00 to the City of Minneapolis for connection of the system with the Minne- � apolis sewers. The Corporation in turn reimburses the . Village, of Edina for this payment. Recently by act of the legislature the Minneapolis sewer system has been integrated with the Metropolitan Sewage Disposal System. It has now come to our attention from unofficial sources that the Village of Edina will be called upon to assume a reasonable portion of the cost of that system in the form of a direct tax levy or substantially increased sewage rates. The sewage question has, therefore, now become a problem for solution solely by the Village Council and under these circumstances the question has been taken out of the hands of this committee.

Dear Mr. Westerberg: You will remember that I mentioned to you early in January of this year, the necessity of a new well and pumping equipment for the water system to be installed this spring before.the lawn sprinkling season is.upon us. There are a large number of new houses to supply this year in addition to those we supplied last year. The proposed location of the new well in the vicinity of West 54th Street and Halifax Avenue was suggested at that time. You stated that'you would examine the location. At a later meeting of the council I brought up the matter again. The council suggested a location between West 54th and West 55th Streets (extended). I then applied to the Minnesota Board of Sanitation for approval of this proposed location of the well and pump house. Their engineer did not approve this location but recommended the elevated portions at the rear end of Lots 1 and 21, Block 2, South Harriet Park Second Addition, as set forth in our letter to the Village Council dated April 19, 1941. In our letter to the Village Council dated April 19th, we applied for approval of a well, pumping equipment, pump house and necessary connection water mains for either -of the two locations recommended by the State Board of Sanitation. In response to this letter the council requested that a letter from the Fire Under- writers Inspection Bureau as to the necessity of an additional well; also information as to the type of pump house to be erected and information as to the proposed street grade for Halifax Avenue between West 52nd and West 54th Streets was desirable. All these requests were supplied when I appeared before the council on Monday, April 28th. I conferred with the Village Engineer to learn that the grades for Halifax Avenue had all been finally determined. I submitted a blue print showing the type of pump house proposed. The Fire Underwriters Inspection Bureau had written direct to the council recommending an additional well and per• ;+fir. Westerberg -2- May g, 19+1 After all the above information the council on April 29th, refused my request for permission to install the new well and equipment. This letter is written so that the negotiations referred to may be a matter of record. During June, July and August when residents will no doubt complain of water shortage and reduced pressure during the sprinkling peak hours, we want it known that we did everything in our power to install a new well.

Dear Sir: Fire Protection, Edina, Minnesota. In order that the village of Edina may avert a water shortage due to increased domestic consumption, we believe it advisable that serious consideration be given the installation of an additional well and pump as soon as .possible. Your records no doubt indicate that on certain days during last summer's sprinkling season your maximum domestic consumption in. gallons per minute came dangerously close to your_total public capacity. Inasmuch as a considerable number of new homes have been erected since, it is reasonable'to expect an even greater use of water in the near future..

Realizing that this additional load would decrease the water pressure during certain hours daily during the dry season, we applied to the Edina Village Council for permission to construct a new deep well pump. This request was refused; under the circumstances the only ray in which the residents can be assured of adequate pressure is to ask their cooperation in observing the following:.

Dear Mr. Westerberg: Iair. Holten called me to inform me that, the Village Council were wondering whether or not we are maintaining the sewer system in the Country Club district becAuse of sewer trouble at the homes of Mr,McGandy and Mr. Maxson, Some weeks ago trouble was present in the sewer at Dr. MoGandyts house. As I was at the pump house during the time he called I did not learn of it until I returned horrid The trouble was stoppage in the sewer main on Edina Blvd. It was taken care in short order when we ran our special sewer knives thru. On Saturday Decemberl4th Dr. McGandy very excitedly called again and stated his basement was flooded. I immediately got a man on the _ job, also going myself to see that the job was done right, When we arrived there was no trouble. Marks showed the water had been up about one inch over his floor drain and had covered a patch about a yard square on his floor. The main was not stopped. However to be on the safe side we again ran the knives thru the main. I. believe the trouble was in his own line and cleared itself before we arrivedt, At Mr,,Maxsonts home the trouble was not in the main. We examined his own service line and found the trouble in the floor drain under the laundry trays. The plumbers he had called had failed to find it and blamed the trouble on the sewer main`, We cleared the trouble for him without charge. Mr; Maxson stated that Mr. Moore had stated that there was trouble in the Wooddale Main and that it had not been cleared since installation. Perhaps there has been an misunderstanding somewhere. I can hardly believe that Mr.Moore could be so indescreet as to make such a statement without thoro investigation. It certainly could not have been based on fact. If there is any doubt about any sewer not being in good condition a simple telephone call to me would have the trouble attended to promptly, As no contract has been entered into with the village to' service the sewer systems in the Country Club,distriot we are continuing to service them as heretofore.

Mr. Earl C. 8hatpe# Mayor& s Village of Edina, 4612 Edgebrogk Plaoe., CITY. War W, Charpe= In order to pay for past and future improve- ments to our property, and for other corporate purposes, we are attempting to issue a. 35 -year bond ern our property, It ©arrys a - term of .18 years ao that it may Come within our ability to handle the issue. Today % loarned that all the prospective bond buyers refuse to purchase the issue because our prosent franchise expires in only ll years. They have suggested that we oiatalu a ten -year extension altho I believe that they should be satisfied w1Ws,,6p► extenoion of rive years If the Counall hesitatie$ to grant tno longer extension. As you are probably aware a fran©hlee is essentially a permit to use the streets for pipes and equip- ment necessary In carrying on the water and sewer business. Tho two franchise (water and sewer) are not sx0lusiv®; thereby permitting the Council to install a separate system of Its own at any time, or to Issue a franchise to anipone else. F"thermore the Council may exorcise the right of purchase at any time on 30 days nctico,. As stipulated In the franchises rates must. be reabsquable, The franchises are therefore not binding in any way. The CounoU does not give away any rights it cannot itself exercise or grant to others. Usually purchase privileges are provided for only at certain specified intervals. An extension of. ten years (or five years If tea is refused) Is tharofoxo only an sxtenolon of 'the permit to also the streetaq This sat would permit us to meet the ob3eotioh of the bond buyers and proo add with our f inawno lag. If : the matter could be aotod' upon at an early date.it: would be very much appreciated as our whole program of payments for improvenents already started is held up until, It Is settled. Very truly yours, �r President. T4T Tomutrg Cub - AmominUou (of lEbinci, Zlraivwta) TO: ALL RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT The new artesian well water is now in:our distribution system. How do you like it? The general opinion expressed seems to be -- Too Hard -- and something MUST be done. The undersigned committee have been instructed to investi- gate the problem of water softening and to place-before the residents of this district facts which will enable-them ta;1exercise intelligent judgment as to the west and most economical method of softening our new water supply.- To this end disinterested authorities were consulted and on Wednesday evening; March 11, Doctor C. E. Mann, head of the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota, (an authority on water softening), was invited to speak before a public gathering of the residents at the schoolhouse. Unfortunately, however, the weather was extremely disagreeable and the attendance was slightly less than 100. After listening to Dr. Mann's discussion of the problem for about an hour, the gist of which was the recommendation of a central softening plant as most practical and economical, the meeting voted to request the installation of such a plant with but one dissenting vote this one vote being a resident who had just recently installed a private plant in.his home. The committee now feel that the information presented by Dr. Mann at the above meeting should be made available to all those who were unable to attend on March 11, and to this end we are present- ing herewith, in the form of questions and answers, such information as we believe you: are interested in having and the answers given are those of Doctor Mann: 1. Q. Does the; water contain an appreciable amount of iron and will it be removed? A. Mr, Garden plans..to remove the iron from the water, if necessary, regardless of whether softening is done or not. Please understand that softening- of the water does not remove iron, although the iron must be removed before softening and if you have a private softening plant:in your home, it may be damaged,if our present supply of water now contains any appreciable amount of iron., �4 2. Q. Should the water from our new artesian wells be softened? A. Yes, because it tests 19.4 grains hardness or about double the average test of Minneapolis city water and water test- ing more than 7 grains hardness is considered a hard water. 3, Q. Will softening the water make it less palatable? A. No, as explained hereinafter under answer to question #6, subdivision B. 4. Q. Will softened water be injurious to lawns and shrubs? A. No, there is no evidence to this effect, according to Dr. Mann, Softened water is being used for these purposes in many places, for example, Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota. 5. Q. What economies in the home through using soft water? A. The saving of soap alone would more than offset the extra cost of softened water from a central plant. Other savings have been definitely proven, such as increased life of linen,.and a saving in beverages - for only about half the ordinary amount of tea or coffee is required to produce the same satisfactory beverage, 6. Q. Why was a central plant recommended in preference to home installations? A. (a) Because of lower investment cost. A central plant with automatic control equipment for operation can be pur- chased for $12,000.00 or less. Based on 350 homes in the district, private plants at a minimum cost of 0125.00 each would represent an investment of $43,750.- 00, (cheaper home plants may be obtained but we do not recommend same and for an automatic operating home plant the cost would be considerably more than 125,00). The central plant would be installed by the Water Company and the cost amortized and included with operating expense in the water rates. (b) Because operating cost of a central plant is only about 1 that of operating a home plant per 10100 cubic feet of water softened. With a central plant 75 °° of the water distributed is softened to zero hardness and blended with 25% which is not softened at all, thus delivering water of about 5 grain hardness, which is considered sufficiently soft and at the same time a good palatable water for drinking purposes. With a home plant, the installation is usually made on the basis of softening all the water except that used for sprinkling, be- cause of difficulty in making proper pipe connections. If the softener is installed when the house is built, piping can be arranged, if desired, to soften only the hot water consumed or whatever arrangement may be desired, thus reducing maintenance expense. It must be -2- remembered also that water softened through a home plant is softened to zero hardness and therefore less palatable and also having a greater tendency to corrosion of pipes than water from a central plant where the CO2 gas is removed. The central plant is enabled to purchase salt for regenerat- ing purposes.in carload lots at 1/2� per pound, as against V to 1 -1/4¢ per pound cost to the home owner in small quantities. There- fore, the central plant is enabled to soften 75% of all the water distributed at no greater cost than the home owner can soften 35% of the water he receives and all of the water passing through the pipes of the distribution system and the homes is only about 5 grains hard, (c) With a central plant, residents are relieved of work involved in adding salt and regenerating the softening. medium about twice monthly - a job occupying 30 or 45 minutes and requiring sufficient knowledge'of the plant to do same properly. (d) Water as it comes from the well testing about 19.4 grains hardness will deposit more.scale, etc., in the distribution system and all cold water pipes than Minneapolis city water, but water distributed from a .central softening plant testing only 5 grains hardness maximum_ will keep the entire system.free and clean and extend the life of such facilities, 7, Q. What will be the cost of softening through a central plant as compared to home plants. A. (a) Figures submitted by responsible parties are 4X per 100 cubic feet through a central plant, (b) Through a home plant, by the same authority, about 16� per 100 cubic feet of water softened. It must be remembered, however, that a home plant only softens a portion of the water used so the actual expense.may not be much greater than central plant service. (c) Considering that the actual maintenance expense be the same whether central or home plants are used, the advantages of a central plant are pointed out in question six No care of home equipment. All water uniform with test of 5 grain hardness maximum. Better protection for pipes and all equipment, B. Q. How much time is required for installation of a central plant? A. We are told this can be done in about 30 days. -3- i 9. Q. Should artesian well water be chlorif,ed? A. Many communities use artesian well war without chlorina- tion. However, Doctor Mann stronglylcommends light chlorination for safety, regardless cwhether water is softened or not, but the small amounbf chlorine he recom- mended using would not be noticeablei the water when used for drinking or otherwise. 10. Q. What does a complete central plant press consist of, delivering all of the water supply w:l a test of 5 grain hardness, maximum? A. (a): Removal of iron immediately aftethe water is pumped. (b) Softening of 75% of the water paved to a test of zero hardness and blending with the rnaining 25% to produce water about 5 grain hardness maxnum. (c) Light chlorination of all water. (d) Very light lime treatment to renvve CO2 gas and make water slightly alkaline, thus prtecting the pipes from all rust deposit and scale. We enclose herewith a return card, pr'pared in the form of a petition for a central water softening plant. If you favor such an installation, will you please sign and return t;is card immediately or indicate to the committee any contrary views ya may have. Please give this matter immediate att;ntion in order that the committee may proceed to place your wishes)efore the proper author.ities for consideration and action.

Ben B: Moore -104 Third - Avenue North Minneapolis, Minnesota Mr., Clarence O..s Holten 917 Plymouth Building Minneapolis,, Minnesota Gentlemen; In reading the copy of my letter dated January 22nd, I notice a typographical. error in the second line of the last paragraph. The',word "'Ordinance "' should have .been. "Franchise ". In other words, the last paragraph of the letter should read; "You are, therefore, now notified that demand, is.made upon you to enforce the provisions of the Franchise End to cancel.the same for violation there. Of,, if necessary, and that if you do not `take such steps yourselves, the writer, as a taxpayer and consumer, will hold you: per.son,ally responsible and, if necessary, will bring such an action on your failure to + <do. so and make you defendants with the, company fogy+ your failure to enforce the rights of, the taxpayers and people whom you represent."

I note that you have attached the village seal and have signed as recorder, but that Mr. Sharpe has not yet signed the same. This plat appears to me to be in proper form so far as the execu- tion of the same is concerned. I call your attention, however, to Chapter 225 of the Laws of 1929 entitled, "An Act to Provide for the Control and Regulation of the Platting of Subdivisions of Lands and Laying out of Streets and other Public Ways in Counties Containing and.Adjoining Cities of First Class ". This law provides that the Board of County Commissioners "shall have power to control and regulate the platting of subdivisions of lands and the laying out of streets and other public ways ". Section 2 starts out by saying, "In order to exercise the power conferred under this act, the Board of. County Commissioners shall.prepare a comprehensive major street plan of the district involved * * * *err The act further provides that the pourers conferred upon the county board shall be construed as an addition to existing powers and not as an amendment to or a repeal thereof. It would seem to me that under this act it is necessary either that the Board of County Commissioners should also accept this plat or execute some instrument to the .effect that they had not taken any steps in prepara- tion of the exercise of the powers conferred under this law and did not intend to do so. It is quite possible that this law was passed covering some special case that had arisen. I am sending a copy of this letter to Thorpe Bros. for the attention of Mr. James R.

In order that you might be acquainted with the work covered by your committee, we should like to submit herewith briefly the facts we have developed and the efforts we have put forth to im- prove conditions pertaining to our water supply: 1. After thoroughly investigating various methods of softening our water supply; the committee unani- mously agreed that a central softening plant to be operated in conjunction with the pumping station was the most feasible, as well as the most economical arrangement to recommend, and in order that our residents might be fully informed concerning various details of such a program, Doc- tor 'Mann,, head of the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota and an authority on water softening, was invited to speak before a public gathering in the district on March 11. On account of unfavorable weather, the attendance only numbered about 100, but after Doctor Mann discussed at some length the various phases of water softening and personally endorsed a central softening plant for the Country Club district, a vote was taken of those present, with the result that all present except two endorsed the central softening plant recommendation of the committee, the two dissenting votes being residents who already had private softening plants in their hane s. Because of the small attendance at this meeting, the committee sub- mitted to all residents of the district, by mail, the gist of Doctor Mann's discussion, together with their recommen= dation for a central-softening plant, enclosing with this letter a postal card on which each resident might express his individual sentiment relative to this program, with the result that about 300 votes were received by the committee, endorsing their recommendation of a central softening plant, 2. It should be explained that the committee, from the time of their appointment, endeavored to work with both Mr. Garden and the village council, keeping them in- formed concerning the procedure being followed in our.,,.. investigation, and following receipt by the committee: of:,'` the signed postal cards referred to above, we petitiono;d,I-,. the council for appropriate action, 3. Upon presenting to the council the wishes of'. the residents, Mr. Garden protested against the installation of a central softening plant for various reasons, the prin- cipal ones being as follows: -1- (a) The necessity for increasing water rates. (b) The claim that softening water through a central plant would cost from 13� to 14� per thousand gallons, whereas the findings of the committee, based upon guarantees of responsible equipment manufacturers, was only about 6� per thousand gallons. (c) The claim that 40% of the water pumped was lost through wastage and not sold, this loss developing through leakage in the distribution system, water used for flushing sewers, for sprinklin parks and in other ways, so that the remaining 609 of the water pumped and which was sold to the residents would be obliged to carry the cost of softening the 40% which was lost. (d) The claim that if the water supply required soften- ing at all, only the hot water used in the homes should be softened and therefore that domestic plants for those desiring the same should be used. The committee had carefully investigated all of these objec- tions to a central plant, and upon reliable information from competent authorities, our answers to theselquestions are as follows: (a) The residents of this district are interested in- the cost of their water supply and not in the rates charged. Water softened through a central plant would be no more expensive than the, same service through a home plant, whereas the resident would be relieved from the care of a home plant which requires regenerating about once every two weeks, and furthermore, the cost of a central plant to each individual resident, amortized over a period of 15 years, would be no more than 1/3 the cost of a high grade, dependable home unit. (b) The claim of Mr. Garden that it would cost from 13¢ to 14� per thousand gallons to soften water through a' central plant has been disproved, as we shall show in a subsequent paragraph more in de- tail, by a bona fide offer of a responsible manu- facturer of large as well as small plants to install and operate a central softening plant and guarantee the cost of producing 5 grain water to be just slightly over 6� per thousand gallons, as originally claimed by the committee. (c) The committee questions Mr. Garden's claim that 40% of the water pumped is lost, for the reason that the water pumped is not measured or me tered, and Mr. Garden t s contention is based on the assumption that his pump is delivering its full rated capacity at all times when in operation, while it is frankly admitted by owners of other wells in _the city, who are pumping water from the same water levels, that their pumps do not deliver their rated capacity. It is our contention, therefore, that the loss of 40 %, claimed by Mr. Garden, is entirely too high, but that if it is correct, leakage in the distribution system should be repaired, and that water used by the village in other ways should not enter into the picture in determining the cost of, softening water sold to the residents. (d) The argument as to whether all of the water used in a home should be softened, or if only the hot -2- water should be so treated is one that can.best be determined by the installation of home softeners. The committee is advised by several manufacturers and. distributors of home softening plants, that nearly all installations are made on the basis of softening all the water used, except that used for lawn sprinkling. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this is the most desirable way to make home installations, as the cost of operating the same would be considerably less if they were installed only on the hot water side. Furthermore, if home installations in the Country Club district are made in accordance with the general practice of manufacturers of such equip- ment., the argument is all in favor of a central softening plant from the standpoint of mainte- nance expense, to say nothing about convenience for the home owner. 4. The village council, after receiving the com- mittee ' s report on their work up to this point and after hearing Mr. Garden I s objections to the installation of a central softening plant, was still not convinced relative to the facts and figures submitted and decided to employ an en- gineer 'of their ovm to investigate the situation and make a report to the council. This engineer's report was submitted to the council at a meeting held several weeks ago, and his estimate of the cost of softening water through a central plant 'was substantially the same as the cost claimed by Mr. Garden. However, you will be interested to know that at the same council meeting where this report was made, your com- mittee also submitted a written proposition from one of the largest manufacturers of water softening equipment in the United States, offering to install a central softening plant, complete in every respect, with automatic control equipment, wet salt storage for 90,000 pounds of salt, and housing for the plant, for a cost slightly over $18,000, and to operate the same themselves at a guaranteed cost of 6,05 per thousand gallons, supplying water of 5 grains hardness, so that if this proposition were acted upon, softened water through a central plant could be supplied to the residents of the Country Club district at an increase over our present rates of .only 4.54 per hundred cubic feet. However, to the best of your committee's knowledge, no action what - soever has been taken by the council on the matter. Your committee therefore feels that it can proceed no further and that if further action is desired, the entire proposi- tion should be submitted to the residents of the district at a public meeting.

Pursuant to your order, we.have made an investigation of the. general proposition.of aC'entral softening vs Individual Softeninet. , for the dwellings in the Country Club District which are now served by the water system and submit our finding to your honorable body. Softening Process nw process of softening a city water supply to render it more adaptable to serve all its many uses may be accomplished in several ways. 'lne two ommonest ways which are suitable to a city water supply such as Edina has are the Zeolite method, and the chemical precipitation9 sometimes called the Lime -Soda method. Theses are the only ones which will be discussed here: There has been- considerable discussion and a large amount of time and thought devoted to the i'irst or zeolite method by the-owners of the water system and by certain citizens., aommittees, etc., who have " the solution of this problem very much at: heart; The second method of softening will be discussed.later in this reporto . Zeolite Softening. The: question which really is the crux of this problem and which has not been satisfactorily answered is "How much of the water is to be softened?'t by the zeolite or base exchange method all of the water passing through the softenipg.acquipment. is brought to a zero hard ndss. There is no possibility of partial treatment and the only way in, which. any of the hardness may be left in the -water is by by- passing a portion of it around the softener tanks and remixing this untreated water with the softened water: This-is eminently undesirable because after the base exchange has taken place, the'ehemical constituency of the - softened water is very different from what it was prior to softening and it is very possible and even likely that the addition of hard water trill act to produce chemical reactions which may give an entirely new set of mineral salts. Therefore, the proposition of a. Zeolite central softening plant is equivalent to softening all of the. water to zero., harness or not softening any of it, It is the writerts opinion that if B urRingam7ne & Hitchcock all of the water used in the country club district were to be softened or even a very substantial proportion of iti a central plant would be much.cheaper in first cost and much more economical in operation than a number of individual softening plants in the. houses. 'This, is quite elementary, Assuming there are 400 families in the country club district vrtto use in the course of'a year approximately 60,000,000 gallons of water and all of this rater is to be softened. It is fair to assume from the bids: received by the water committee that very satin- factory softening-equipment can be purchased, furnished and installed cothplete. and ready to operate for a sum less than 25,OOa including 8 building suitable for housing it. Assuming interest, depreciation and maintenance of this equipment to be 1010 of the original cost and the. amount necessary to repay the money harrowed to install the softener were on a basis of equal yearly payments over 10 years, the fixed charge's on this equipment would be. $51000.00 a year, OFerati i Costs of Central Zeolite Plant It has always been.a.rule of thumb in water softening practice by the Zeolite Method that it required one -half pound of salt per grain of hardness in every thousand gallons which is pa:.ssed through the softener to make the base exchange. From the analysis attached, it is proper to assume -that this is a 20 grain water and that 10 lbs. of salt will be. required for each thousand gallon treated with salt at the existing price of a half a cent a pound, which is the wholesale price-of salt in car load lots, it will cost 5¢ per thousand gallons for chemicalo Assuming that 60,0002000 gallons or 60,000 M gallons of water are actually sold, the fixed charges of $5,000 charged against 60 =000,000 gallons.sold will take care of all interest, depreciation, maintenance and other first charges as well as will pay for the equipment in.ten years by an addi- tional charge of 8.3.d per thousand gallons, If it is assumed, however, that the repayment of this cost be extended over a.longer .period than ten years or if it is assumed that such expense will be refunded In- some manner, this cost will be-cut in half: A fair charge., however, -on the basis suggested., will be 13.3 .&per thousand gallon.or 10¢ per hundred cubic feet of water. These.figures are liberal and the.wri.ter has been advised that a- figure much lower than $25,000 was received by the water company for a complete automatic water softener system. Re is further advised that one manufadturer has developed a new type of zeolite which will.remove one grain of harness per thousand gallons with .35 of a' pound instead of one-half lb, of salt. The use of these; figures is not, in our opinion, justified in thia type.of report, On that basis, however, a.eost of 'I¢ per thousand gallon, assuming noire- .payment on the original-outlay can be-set up,. which would amount to approximately 2¢ h d The actual cost, however, will be between -6 and 10 cents per hundred i.c foot. This ;is the proper additional charge for zeoiite softened wat over and above .the present rate for unsoftened water.. Operating Costs of Individual Plants; The foregoing calculations.assummme that all the citizens desire that all of the water consumed to be softened.by this method. It is BurRingame & Hitchcock -3 -. probrlematical however if this is the case. if 300 of the 400 families in.Edina put in domestic softeners of the size required to soften all of their water at the price of 5150 per softener, the first cost would be approximately $.459000 or almost double the cost of a- central plant and due to the fact that softening salt would have:to be bought at retail, we. estimate their average salt consumption per family-would be about ,t15 or $4500 per-year for 300. families. On. the basis of amortizing. and maintaining X4500. worth of equipment it may be.readily seen that the yearly cost of these individual installations set up in identically the-same way as the central system is set up would require a yearly budget cost of between two and three times that of the central. plant. This comparison would force: a recommendation iu fauor of the central plant if the, question propounded abaue:, that is. to. say "Da all of the people wish to soften all of their water" were answered -in the affirma- tive, We, question this greatly: There is a.large part of the water which is sued -for lawn and park sprinkling, flushing streets.and sewers and necessary fire protec- tion purposes., and there can be no doubt that hard water will. perform these functions fully as well as softened water. We. estimate, this gallonage to ba: between 25 and aO%'of the total amount pumped. In a well built; well maintained, well operated system of water distribution, there are always a great many losses, most of them due-to leaks in the mains themselves, in j- oints, or in the house: connec- tions which are generally put in by local plumbers without much super vision of the village authorities. This, added to the flushing and fire protection water cost, will amount, inthe case of the country club,, to at least 40%' or probably more-. After the water gets into the houses there are a great many' functions.which can be, performed as well as or better with hard water, as :with softened. An amount of at least - half -of all of the water vvthcih goes into the-average domestic system is used for flushing toilets. Softened water can perform.this:fuaction no beater than hard. For drinking purposes, it is the opinion of many, that Zeolite: softened water tastes flat and the majority of people would prefer to drink hard water. The balance of the water- (not more than 300 of that pumped).is used for washing, bathing, house cleaning, dish washing and all the thousand and one necessary tasks about a. house hold. Many of these activities require a water which will dissolve soap and.it is possible to,say that most of these house -hold chores can.be better, per- formed with soft water than with hard.. This also is open.to question. as many people prefer only soft water for hot water and like to mix it with hard cold water, in commercial laundr.ied where soap economy is the only item, this is not the case, but in many house holds, it is the. case. From the foregoing, however, it may be. readily seen that 400 of the water-doesn't enter the house or if it does enter the house It is immediately, put, on the lawn. through the sill - cocks,; of the 60% which does enter the house at least half goes to the sewere Of the- difference:., Burgin gamme & Hitchcock CM or 30%, it is problmatical if the people really desire that all of this water even be zeolite softened. Following this argument to its logical conclusion it may be readily seen.,that the recommendation is forced to be in favor of individual rather than central softening. But still another consideration enters into the discussion. Lt the time that most of the'houses in the Country Club District :sere built, the matter of central softening against individual softenir4t was not a.burning question at all and in most houses in order to separate out the pipes which would carry water which does not require softening from those which should carry soft water would be a major plumbing operation: It is therefore quite likely that an individual softener placed in-each one of the houses would probably soften.a great deal larger proportion of the water than there Is any reason to soften. It is quite-true therefore that in the case: of either Central zeolite softening or Individual zeolite softening: al great deal more watere will be grought to zero hardness than there is occa- sion for. In either case a large portion of ,the 6:to.10,cents per 100 cubic feet which should be-the proper charge w111.ba thrown away. Eeeditbandeti.on. All of these -facts make it very difficult. to recommend, in favor of a Central Plant, softening the water by the zeolite method, If all the plumbing in the Country Club were in such shape that a softener could be placed in each house and soften all of the water for which there is any possibla justification. for softening, the recommen-. dation would be.quite definitely in favor of the-individual plants. How nearly that condition. is approached would. be the basis of a definite recommendation* Yea do not feel. that a definite recomnendation.in favor of a central zeolite softening plant is justified without much further study of the requirements; Discussion of P7rocesses. Lt this point it might be well to discuss briefly the differ- ence-between these two methods of softening. Ya_ explain the zeolite method: there are certain rare minerals found in nature called.nZsolitesn of which the commonest, one is glauconite or green sand which has the peculiar property., of merely by its presence, compelling all metallic salts which consitute the hardness of the water to change their particu- lar metallic base such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc., to the_ corresponding salt of sodium, if the sodium in any form is in contact, Zeolites are now made artificially and many are more efficient than the natural zeolites. In this way., when a bed.of zeolite is thoroughly impregnated-with common salt (sodium chloride) all of the metallic salts which form the hardness of the water are changed to the corres ponding salts of sodium: Thus- calcium carbonate (CaCk) becomes sodium bi- carbonate and magnesium hydrade. Mg(Oii)2 becomes sodium hydroxide NaOH: These sodium salts are entirely soluble and assist the soap and other cleaning agencies of the water to be more effective The metals in.the former salts become chlorides and remain in the zeolite.bed.until they are washed out during the process.of regeneration. In this way it may be readily seen that the total solids in the water do not decrease In the slightesto with the 2eol1te process but are mer @IY changed -to a Burlingame & Hitchcock -5- form in which they make the water much less objectionable* The chemical precipitation process, on the other hand, has for its purpose actually taking out the hardness of the water by making the mineral matter so insolable that it will precipitate out and go down. as a sludge in the bottom of a settling.chamber where it can be pumped out and wasted. The usual chemicals required for this purpose are lime and soda ash. The lime takes.care of all the carbonates and hydrates and the soda ash sulphates. In. the- water at the Country Club., hovrever, there are such a small amount of sulphates that no soda ash would be required` This type of softening, therefore would be a straight lime process in the case of Edina.& Lime Water Softening This process is the one which in the-writer's opinion lends Itself most readily to large scale grater treatment and is the only process which is used at all generally for municipal water softening. It is the process used at Fargo and Grand Forks for their water treat- ment and is contemplated and under design for Minneapolis and is nor used in the municipal water plants at Columbus, Ohio:; Saginaw, Michigan; Vermillion, South Dakota and a. great many other cities. Cane reason for its use is that the final result of the process, that is to say the: treated water, can be completed at,any degree of hardness or softness desired. It is generally customary to turn out a water ,of from five to seven grains per gallon hard which is a much more adaptable and- suitable water for all of the uses of a city than is a zero hardness water. Whereas the first cost of a lime process system is condierably greater than for a zeolite system: of the. same capacity, operating and. chemical cost of the lime process is likely to be very much less. We shall only discusep therefore:, the. lime process in relation to a central plant in Edina., as there-are no commercial units of individual or domestic softening installations:* As pointed out previously, the hardness of this well water consists almost solely of calcium and magnesium bi- ►carbonates,, and therefore the. only softening agent required is lime, or more accurately Calcium: Hydrate -, which is generally described as "Slaked Lime n. Although the harness is usually described as calcium carbonate or- magnesium carbonate it exists, in reality, in the bi- carbonate form& These calcium and magnesium bi- carbonates when in solution react with the. addition of calcium hydrate to form the normal carbonates plus the - liberation of carbon.dioxide and the formation of water. The normal carbonates, imth magnesium and calcium, are 'insoluble to, a far, greater extent than bi- carbonates. This simply means that the calcium and magnesium normal carbonates tend to precipitate out of the u ater in the form of a floc or sludge,, which is retained in the bottom of the sedimentation tank;. and periodicaily,;washed out to the sewer; and secondly, that portion of the floc remaining in suspension is taken out by the pressure filters as the water passes through.sand and gravel beds. This. fs a. very brief description of the operation of a aolct process . lime softener. The.Cbld Process Lime Softener has one desirable characteristic for an application of this kind. It is readily Burfingame & Hitchcock possible to control the extent or degree of softening by simply varying the quantity of lime supplied to the sedimentation tank. Thus, to state the case quite simply, the maximum softening might be performed during those hours of the day when the residents would be apt to use water for washing and other purposes where soft water would be advan- tageous. 'Phis, for example-, would be through the hours of the morning or forenoon, particularly in the first part of the-week. The extent of softening could be charply reduced during the afternoon, and practically no softening would be performed during the early evening and through the night. This method of operation would very substance► Bally reduce the cost of softening the water, and the Cold Process: Lime Softener is readily adaptable to such a method of operation. The total hardness of the well crater- is approximately 19,97 gr, per gallon, and we would contemplate that the maximum softening. would be down to approximately 5.5 gr. per gallon. Anyone using water with a hardness of 5.5 gr. per gallon would consider-it very soft, The: term "zero hardness is never obtained in practical operation, and even with the finest of Hot Process Softeners the actual hardness would be- about 1 -1 /a gr. per gallon, and the average hardness of a Zeolite soft- ner would be approximately the , sames The water flowing from the Zeolite softener would be very soft immediately after regeneration, approx- imately 1/2 gr-, per gallon, but the hardness would steadily increase,to the maximum limit set for the next regeneration which might be, for example 2.or 3 gri, per gallon. 'Thus, the average hardness would be about 1 -1/2 gr. per gallon; So: that there may be no possibility of pipe line precipitation of the residual bi- carbonate hardness, it is recommended that a slight quantity, 0407f per 1000 gallons of water, of sulphuric acid be supplied to react with the caustic alkalinity of the water, Provision for this treatment is being included. The cost of chemical for treating this water with the cold process lime softener to a harness of 5.5 gr. per gallon and including sulphuric acid is 2.06 per 1000 gallongs. It should be explained that this chemical cost is almost directly propor- tional to the extent of the softening, that is to say, if only-one: half as.much of the hardness were removed the cost of softening would be reduced one =half, or in this instance, would be 1.03¢ per 1000 gallons:.. It seems reasonable to assume.that a.maximum of about one third of this quantity need be softened to 5.5 gr. per gallon. This would amount to 70,000 gallons which, at a cost of 2,Q6.e per 1000 gallons, would be 11.44. It is likely that there would be some partial softening throughout other - portions of the day which might amount to very nearly as much, or it might be said, a total chemical cost of not to exceed $,2:.8$;per 24 hour day. 'Phis is strictly a maximum condition and it seems doubtful that it would ever be: reached -if good judgment and care were to prevail. This softening cost of f2.88,should not be used throughout each day of the year, since the water consumption during the winter months would obviously be much less. Nevertheless, the total cost of chemicals per-year would average probably nearly (1000.00. It is extremely difficult to forcast accurately the annual cost of chemicals fora contemplated installation of this kind, but Burr aangame & Hhchcoclk- -7- your records indicate that the average flow for 24 hours is 200',000 gallons, and as a matter of interest, if this entire daily flow were - treated for every day in.the year the total chemical cost would be $1500.00 per year. It does thus seem gist the estimated - figure of $100.0.00 is quite reasonable. Aside from the chemical costs, installa- tion and interest charges, there are the operating labor and mainten- ance costs to consider. A water treatment plant of this size requires proper and close supervision, at least during 8 hours of the day, whether it be a Zeolite system or Cold Process Lime- System. �;aeh type-needs about the amount of attention. This supervision could probably consist of a plant superintendent to be. employed on an annual basis at a salary of about $1500.00 per year, with some arrangement for additional labor. that could be required for maintenance occasionally during the year. Likewise, when this superintendent was off duty someone should at least make periodic visits to the plant. This service could be performed by a watchman or night policeman. The equipment is essentially automatic and normally would run without direct attention through the night* Should an emergency develop, the watchman could either by -pass the system or call the superintendent. This type of installation is a very easy one to maintain'. - and does not require the service of a technical man or chemist.' It iii immaterial whether a Zeolite or Cold Lime Process plant is considered., as the attentiin and service needed for each would be about the same; Beyond the costs of operation mentioned., there are the power require- ments for the pump motors. Additional booster pumps will be used in connection with the cold process system which would result in an.in- crease in'the power cost. This- increase would probably be 50 to 75% more than the present pumping costs. It must be remembered though that if the cold process installation were to be installed, the booster pumps would be so designed that a much higher pressure would be placed on the water distribution system -than is now the case. This would assure that all residents would have sufficient water pressure at all times. Very likely in the case of the Zeolite system it mould be- equally advantageious to install the booster pumps so as to increase• the pressure on the system. A simple diagrammatic layout =of a typical Cold Process Lime Softener system is shorn on blue print of a sketch of this layout. Briefly, this typical system consists of a sedimentation. tank 25,tO in. diameter by 40107, highs the chemical proportioning unit, a - S'tptr: Diameter x 14x011 long pressure filters, one back wash pumping unit, twa booster pumping units, and a change in the present deep well pump -. The price of this entire. equipment installed in place with. complete piping would.be: approximately $17,000,00. It is estimated that a build.- ing to house this equipment would cost'appraxima.taly,$151000.00. This building could be of brick construction with a moderate amount of exterior decoration. Thus, the overall cost of the Cold Process Lime: Softener would be approximately $,32- ,000.00. this cost might be- increased If a greater degree of refinement and service were required, or it might be decreased if some features included in the foregoing estimate were- BuirRinga me & Hitchcock MO sacrificed. Lt is to be remembered that the sedimentation tank, instead of being of the high vertical type, might instead be of the low clarifier type. The overall cost would be approximately the same, but the build; ing would ba lower in height, which might or might not be desirable depending upon personal viewpoint. The performance and operating costs would not be effected in any respect. Somewhat-more ground area would be required for the Clarifier sedimentation tank, but that appears to be of no importance in this instance. The cold process method.of softening would permit a greater degree of control of the water going to the distribution system: This discussion has been confined almost exclusivly to the chemical characteristics of the water, that is, the total hardness, whereas there are other characteristics of almost equal importance. These are the corrosive effects of water which 1'requently cause the formation of rust in tie pipe lines and discoloration of sanitary fix- tures* It is simple and inexpensive to eliminate such difficultiea with the Cold Process Lime Softener, primarily because as a general rule the corrosive activities of the water are automatically eliminated by the lime treatment, premtt ':;Ca -,,of Lima Plant From,the„rdrdgoi.ng, wey mayzsm: up'.thefoost of!_tre�ttmeat of the, lime plant approximately as follows: Chemical Cost - - - - - - - - - - $10000 Labor, Maintenance - - - - - - - 1 500 Interest at. 4% on $;32,000 - - 13,280 Repayment of Principal over 15 yrs 2.,130 Additional Power required for double pumping - - - - - - - 690 T`atal - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 06,600 I t) Spreading this cost ov 200,000 gallons per day or 73,000,000 gallons per year the cost per ubic gallon will be 895 or 607 cents - per 100 cubic feet. We believe that this lime treatment makes a much. more successful and satisfactory central softening plant than would the zeolite, and if Central softening -of'the water in the Country Club. District is still the desire of the citizens, we feel that.could be a very much cheaper and better proposition for them to accept than would the zeolite softening plant. Recommendations If we could justify a recommendation for a central soften -► ing plant for the Country Club water, we believe that our recommenda- tion viould., be in fa #or of lime- treatment but it may be readily seen that many of the same objections which apply to a central zeolite plant would also apply to a. central --lime plant. Wd are, enclosing as Appendix ,, A to this"'r,cport a letter received from the.Layne- Western Company which .:g- is one of the subsidiaries of the Layne and Bowler System offering a water servicing contract of softened water, softened by the lime process, the same only to be effective in case the village is without a contract for water. It is our opinion, however, that this letter Is an offer and is binding upon.the company although the price is not specifically set forth. It is an interesting commentary, however on central softening+ Wa recommend that this matter be given considera- tion if it ever happens that no franchise exists and the letter should be carefully filed against this contingency: Appendix B is an analysis of the water made by Mr., Gaardeu. and Appendix C is a proposal and layout for a Central Lime Treatment Plant, Standby Service= We wish to call the attention of the Village authorities again to the fact that inasmuch as only one -well and only.one set of pumping equipment is available, it is extremely desirable that,the arrange- ment with the City of Minneapolis for emergency service be continued and that the connection.be arranged in some way so that Minneapalis water can be put in the mains at Edina under very short notice, A simple method of doing this is to _have a piece of flanged pipe comp- plate with bolts, nuts and gaskets available at some point adjacent- to the City Water Meter- pit and connection at France Avenue and Fiftieth Streeto In theT case, of courser,,the meter :could have to remain in the .meter pto ;Vhereas.this is not an exhaustive discussion of the technical side of water softening of the.

BRIDGEPORT 2788 January 22, 1936 Mr. Ben B. Moore, Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Mr, Moore: Owing to the hardness of the water, many Country Club resi- dents are finding it to their advantage to install an ECONOMY Senior Water Softener, especially designed for the water supply in this District. The ECONOMY Water Softener is a Minnesota product with an extra large tank - 14 x 48 inches - genuine 3/16 black steel. The steel in this tank will not be affected by salt or mineral - 125# of best quality Zeolite is used, insuring large gallonage of soft water between servicing periods. This unit is installed on the incoming water line, giving a full supply of SOFT WATER for all purposes throughout your resi- dence. Reservicing requires only a few minutes and the only coat is a few pounds of common salt. The saving on clothing - linens - bedding - food - soap, etc., from the use of soft water will not only absorb all oper- ating cost, but in a family of four or,five, will completely retire the cost of the softener in a couple of years or less. Our price for the EC0140MY Water Softener is $120.00 com- pletely installed in your home. It is a proven product and fully guaranteed. The luxury of having SOFT WATER for all purposes must be experienced to be appreciated, and we solicit your interest in our product. If you will phone BRIDGEPORT 2788, we will be very glad to give you any further information desired. Y rs sincerely, 14 k W.

Dear Country Club Resident: An important Association meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, March 11th, 7:30 o'clock, at the Edina School to arrive at a definite decision regarding 'Water Softening in the district. A great amount of interest has been aroused regarding the neces- sity of softening the water from the new well supply. It is claimed that 400 families will invest an average of $125.00 each for individual Softeners or a total of $50,000.00 with a yearly operating cost of $25..00 and that a Central Plant to soften all the water could be built for $10,000.00 with a yearly operat- ing cost per family of $6.00. Both figures include interest, depreciation and maintenance. It has also been suggested that the installation of private '- Softeners would be as old fashioned and as unnecessary as private lighting plants and that the residents should not be burdened with any additional cares. Desirability of softening, savings, palatability of water, dif- ference in cost between operating private Softeners and a Central Plant and other questions will be discussed by impartial and unbiased experts who have been invited to talk.

OPPOSE STATE TEXT PRINTING As the last issue of The CRIER went to press, school superintendents of Min- nesota were conducting -their annua' session at the -University of Minnesota Superintendent O. S. Glover of Edina - Morningside presided at the sessions as president of' the Minnesota Stat: Superintendents'. - association.

Village Recorder Ben B Moore asks The CRIER-to announce, in bad, bold, black type, that . the vil- lage is out of dirt. Last January the village offered dirt taken from the creek bed dur- ing the CWA work;- to all .residents who would pay $1.00 per load to the trucker, the bare cost of, hauling. There were few "takers" for a time and then a big rush of "business." The recorder is. still getting calls. but the dirt is all taken. There remains a pile on the creek bed, but this has been reserved for the use of the :park.board.

The new ,machine has been in serv- ice for a little more than, a week. - It is a Plymouth, ,and. is equipped with a new. short -wave ' radio ' and special aerial apparatus.' The heavy drain on the battery of the old police car when the radio was in operation has been eliminated through installation of a larger and more powerful battery. As a result, the necessity for frequent battery changes and for running the motor to generate electricity when the car was not being operated, have been done away with: Emergency radio broadcast calls for the Edina police are handled through the broadcasting facilities of the Min-' neapolis Police Department. Persons wishing to place such a call should call "police department," or Main 1361, and indicate that the call is from the Country Club District. FATHER OF MRS.

May, 1934 SPRING BUILDING SEASON. ACTIVE; NEW HOMES SOLD Indicates Desirability of Country Club District as Residen- tial Section Evidence of the .desirability of tha Country Club District as a place to live is found. in the fact that the spring building season just closing has been unusually active, and that new homes built have been occupied in every in- stance .soon after completion. It is understood that every new home constructed in the district this spring has been rented, leased or purchased, and that -all are now occupied or will be in the'near future.

THEATER PLANS O.K.'D, BUILDING TO TAKE 90 DAYS Will Be Largest Outside- Twin Cities; Expect to Let Bids Soon With operations and plans progres- sing smoothly along several fronts; those behind the new Edina Theater to be built at Fiftieth . street and France avenue, announced late in April that the estimated 90 -day construc- tion period will start sometime in May; and that fans in the Twin Cities area will be able to attend the opening of the showhouse sometime " in August. A complete set of the plans for the structure —which will be the largest theater in Minnesota outside the Twin Cities —was on exhibition at a meeting of the Edina village council Monday, evening, April 23. At that time also; representatives of the Country Club association were present to become familiar' with the detailed specifica= tions. Receiving Bids Bids for the . contract have been asked, and were expected to have been turned in by May 1. Actual work of building the showhouse is estimated to require three months, which will bring the date of the premiere opening to sometime during August. The theater will seat more than a thousand persons. It will be provided with more emergency exits than ara required by.either the state law or.the Minneapolis theater building ordinance: The most advanced types of cooling system and sound apparatus have beer. selected. Newest -type upholstered seats will be installed. Supplementary plans are being con= sidered to include a community zen-' ter room in the theater. A stone or brick front will be used. New Safety Features The theater will be about as origin= ally planned, except that additional safety features have been incorporated in the general layout. A large lobby space is to be provided. Upon enter- ing the theater, patrons will pass through a foyer approximately 30 by, 50. feet in size. A novel plan to be used-is one where= by people leaving the building will use a side lane, thereby eliminating "cross traffic" in the front of the building. It is understood that arrangements have been made for renting most of the store space available in the front of the theater. Those behind the project have ex- pressed the intention of employing all the Edina labor possible in the con-, struction work. — Lost —The CRIER regrets ,the loss of its efficient and loyal sports reporter; E. E. Bevensee, 4515 Arden avenue, who has kept CRIER readers apace with the times as far as all varieties of local sports have been concerned: Anyone interested in sports who would like .to write a monthly news column' is asked to get in touch with The CRIER editor at WAlnut 2545.

Effect of the new state Homestead Act on taxes paid in the Edina =Morn- ingside school district in 1935,is,point- ed out for readers of The CRIER. in a statement by O. S. Glover, superin- tendent of schools. Mr. Glover's statement follows: "For the past two years the levy of the Board of Education for school pur- poses has been the same.- If the levy made next October were placed at the same figure there would".still be quite a variation in the amount bf taxes that a given taxpayer would : pay in 1935 as compared to the amount paid on the same property for-the years 1933 -34. "For example, we have a rate of 28.5 for school purposes,, not includ- ing the automatic levy of one mill by the County Auditor. A property worth $4,000, under the present law would be assessed at $1,600, this would call for a tax of ! $45.60 for schools. In 1935 this $4,000 • property under the Homestead Act will be assessed at $1,000 instead of $1,600. If the tax levy of the Board was the same the tax would be about $28.50. However, if a property is worth more than $4,000, all of the variation above !this figure will be assessed at 40 per; cent as at the present time and will bear a proportionately higher tax than is now paid on the property be- cause of the deduction of taxes on the first $4,000 as- illustrated in the above case. "Because of this Act it will be diffi- cult for taxpayers to make comparisons with their school taxes or taxes gen- erally with 'that of previous years." 1 Two, teams of Country . Club volley- ball players.wound up the competitive season for the. spring of 1934 Monday night ,+ April 23, with matches against teams: from' the Morningside Church and Y. M. C. A. The! B. team met the Morningside visitor's in what was to have been a regular three -game match, but the al -. loted time had elapsed -after two games. As a result the match was left at .a tie after the Country Club boys had come back in the second game to tie the score. The local experts of the A. squad lost a hard - fought match to one of the best volleyball clubs from the Y. M. C. A. in the. feature engagement of the eve- ning, +2 -1. Members of the. Country Club team were Clarence Olson, Mes- singer, E. E. Bevensee, Parks, H. Schwert and Charles Kaylor. The regular Monday night games will continue until May 15, giving the boys two more chances to develop their form before the summer vacation period. IScout.

In return for the services of the highway workers in maintaining and repairing : the street, the village has agreed to allow the department to des- ignate the stretch -as part of West Fiftieth street, from France avenue to Highway No. 5, as part of State Trunk Highway No. 90. The action came as the result of a bill passed by the last session of the legislature, permitting cities of the first class to derive part of the benefit of the gasoline tax. Following this it -a,as decided that Forty -sixth street in Min- neapolis, starting at Cedar avenue and running west to Lyndale avenue, south to Fiftieth street and east to France avenue, would be. designated trunk highway No. 90. Village Recorder Ben B. Moore then proposed that the highway department take over the maintenance of France avenue from Fiftieth street to Excel- sior boulevard, agreeing to keep it in repair: The improvement is being made now.

THE' CRIER CHURCH NEWS EDINA- MORNINGSIDE CHURCH During the past four months the Edina and Morningside churches have been working together in 'a temporary merger of their work and service. The results _have shown the wisdom of this move. Crowded congregations have been evident at all of our services, and on Easter-Sunday we were obliged to con- duct two identical services to take case of the congregation. On Wednesday the 4th of April at' a joint meeting of the two Boards of Trustees a vote was registered unani- mously to proceed with plans to com- plete the permanent merger of the two bodies: This is now being done, and according to state statute a legal notice is being published for four consecutive Sundays leading to a' vote by each separate church on Wednesday evening, May the 9th. When this vote is received, the new church will proceed with the adoption - of . a new Constitution and By -Laws and a complete slate of officers. A new. name will doubtless be adopted which .will eliminate the possibility of keeping alive the fact that there has been a merger. Looking forward during the next eight or-ten–years-we we desire to feel that this church' -goes. forward a "s; one unit, serving not,,alone the Edina and Morningside commiinities; but this entire West Lake area. "Without vision the people perish" is a statement that comes "to us from Scripture, and it ; is "true today even as in days of old. - I can see developing upon the foundations of these two churches a great church for the future, with7•proper. building facilities, appro- priately located• so as to serve the Country Club District more adequately, as well as all of Edina, Morningside, and the Westlake section of the city.

May we dare to hope that as time goes on men and women of the Country Club District will realize the value of a strong local church rather than dividing allegiance with already powerful churches down town.

Contributed by Eleven Dentists In Two -Day Clinic Eleven dentists contributed their services in a dental survey conducted at the Edina and •Morningside schools the week of April 16. The work was part of a national + sur - vey initiated by the federal govern- ment. School children acted as secre- taries to the dentists in recording the results. All children found in need of dental attention have been advised by special notice from the office of the school nurse. Dentists conducting the examinations on Wednesday, April 18, were Drs. W. H. MacNeil, M. R. Melvin, E. R. Horr, C. I. Lillehei, C. C. Olsen, F. C. Ober - meyer, A. R. Waters and G. A. Hag - berg. Dr. MacNeil arranged for the Edina, school clinic. At the Morningside building the fol- lowing day, dentists who examined the children were Drs. V. W. Davis, R. A. Pirsch, and D. W. Quilling. Dr. Davis was in charge of arrangements. Needlework Guild Dear Midge: . The day was perfect when we met at Mrs. Ritchie's April 9th. There was a large attendance and everyone Was busy. Various members take turns doing: the machine, stitching on the garments at home, and then we finish them by hand at the meeting.', The nighties .Mrs. Klein stitched were so popular they disappeared in a jiffy. She had almost finished them so each of us could easily complete several in an afternoon. Mrs. Ritchie. had, one of her cele- brated flower . arrangements on the dining room'table. She can make such gorgeous bouquets. This time they were snap- dragons —and such long stemmed beauties. Do you remember how you and I loved that huge summer bouquet she had arranged when she had the Women's Club -at her house? Mrs. Reimanri was . assisting hostess, and Mrs. Sharp and I had the honor of pouring. • Mrs. Sharp tells me that she and her committee (Mrs. Gertson, Mrs. Beatty, Mrs. Weston) have cut 784 garments. They deserve a lot of credit for this work. We have only one more meeting and that is at Mrs. Wall's, 4604 Bruce ave- nue, on May 14th. - How I wish you were here to go with me. We have so many nice new mem- bers I'd like to have you become ac- quainted with. Love to v_ ou and the family. — Wilma. MAY H. DILLS. SPEAKS APRIL 9 Mrs. May H.

It. is the following essay, entitled,- "Old Type- catalogae." By EDWARD FRANK ALLEN The antiquarian interest' 'that at -' taches to old type catalogues has not been fully appreciated by booklovers in general, however much these bide -. lots may appeal to typographers and printers. -None but a blind man could fail to note the advance in type de- signing-during 25 or 30 years past, and none with predilections toward-art in any form could fail to appreciate the variations — either for good or bad —to which type is 'susceptible. And so the type catalogue, which is a sensitive index of the fluctuations of taste, is a fit item for the collector to 'seek.' It Is more than a mere in dex, however, for it has in many in- stances the bookish or whimsical qual- ities that commend old volumes to the bibliophile. Taste in , typography was , probably at its lowest ebb, around the year 1880. It was approximately- parallel to that in architecture, interior decoration and dress. It must always remain a mystery how type designers could have strayed so far from the influence of Aldus Manutius, Jenson, the Elzevirs, William Caslon and Baskerville. But they strained for effect, and — God knows —they got it! When they cut faces that fulfilled no need for either beauty, or legibility, they achieved nothing but grotesqueness, and that of a second -rate order. We must admit, though, that when these faces were advertised, the type= founders at least gave them a liter- ary setting that was thoroughly con- sistent. I have before me -a type.cata- logue of the period that bears me out In what I say. For instance, the style designated as • Armoric, a face com- posed of equal weight of line and serif, embellished with self- conscious flourishes on every letter, both caps and lower case, is displayed , as fol- lows: STRIVING TO EXCEL .. Behold the Cheese Knife of Titipu Reeking With Gore There is then a "neat" display of 24 -point Acadian, (very suitable for wedding announcements, dance pro- grams, etcetera), that states, THE QUIET READER Never Mixes in the Street Brawls While the same size of a type desig- nated Alpine seems aptly character- ized by the lines: CRICKET':AND SPECKLED SPIDER What's this Bug 'Traveling up My :Coatsleeve Eighteen -point Illyrian, ' a face that ,vas doubtless used in advertising slip= per pincushions and coffee cups with mustache guards, embalms this liter= ary fly: SOMETHING DELIGHTFUL Barnum's Jumbo Scientifically Calci- mined, a Very Happy, Surprise The gem of this old catalogue.is in 24 -point Mikado, letters utterly eccen- tric in design and alignment, with nothing to suggest what its name 'im- plies. Perhaps it is what first made the Japanese just a bit, doubtful of our friendship. To quote this item: Wasp came .buzzing to his work and various - things did tackle; He stung a boy and then . a dog, then made the roosters cackle. At • last upon an Editor's cheek he settled down to drill, He prodded there for half an hour and • then he broke his bill. Today we get along very well with- out these misbegotten type faces. We use Caslon and other ' beautiful old styles, -Bodoni and Scotch Roman and a few other good moderns. And as a consequence our type catalogues won't furnish nearly as much amuse- ment to our sons 40 years hence as we get from those of 40 years ago. Miniature Of Mary Washington Found Union Soldier Uncovers Rare Likeness On Battlefield Of Appomattox In 1865 A Union soldier found on the battle- field of Appomattox back in 1865 a mi- niature which may turn out to be a rare likeness of Mary Washington, the mother of our first president. There is an interesting story of this "Battle- field Miniature," as it has been called, in a recent issue of The National Republic. It was written by Lucy Sala- manca, who says, in part: "On the morning of April 9, 1865; a Union soldier, bugler in the Third Bri- gade; Twenty - fourth army, corps, of the Union Army, kicked aside a heap of brown leaves. in a little patch of woods in the path of Lee's retreat, and picked up a red morocco leather case. Bugler Makes Find "The patch of woods fringed an old road running north and south and ly- ing west of Appomattox Court house and Lee's army and it lay directly across Lee's path of retreat. The posi- tion held by the company of which the bugler was a part was a very respon- sible and at the same time critical one. In the morning of April 9th, the Third Brigade had been advancing through this patch of woods in the direction of the Southern general's army. Here they met the Confederate advance and a short, but sharp, engagement took place. The Confederates broke, re -. treating back to the main army near., the court house. Wirt Phillips, bug- ler, made his way with the others of his successful band through the woods. His keen eyes fell upon something red glinting through the brown leaves. Whereupon he made the discovery that may, after all these years, bring a new and authentic portrait of Mary Ball Washington to the country her famous son founded. He opened the red morocco case and there, reposing on a velvet cushion, an exquisite little miniature painted on ivory looked up at him. "The beauty of that painting, the ex- quisite coloring, the fine workmanship .(Continued on page 10) BEER r � ere s the Answer BREWED FOR BOTTLING 13EEr ,AND ,ALE 14 of the best known brands By Case or Barrel For Home, Picnics and Parties WE DELIVER .

Well Reaches Depth of 268 Feet As Drillers Penetrate Shakopee Dolomite The ten -inch deep well which will supply water for restoring the level of Minnehaha creek, as part of the ex- tensive creek improvements now under way, last week had reached a depth of 268 feet and was in the Shakopee dolo- mite stratum. Drillers first penetrated 62 feel of drift which made up the top layer of earth, and then pierced through 32 feet of limestone. There followed a layer of sand rock for a depth of 175 feet, resting on top of the Shakopee dolo- mite. The well will probably go down 100 feet or more into this hard layer. The well is ten inches in size down to the blue limestone stratum, and be- low that there will be an eight -inch At left is shown a view of the new pro- ject from the rear, looking in the direc- tion of the highway.

Be- low that point there will be no casing, as the dolomite is of a hard material. Work was expected to be completed on the project within a few days. According to the estimate of ben B. Moore, Edina village recorder, it will require 60 days for the pump to fill the mill pond, at the rate of a half million gallons of water daily, or w (Continued on page 11) Page.

He pocketed his find and made his way to company headquart- ers to seek out his commander." (Continued from page 8) —more. than all —a familiar expression on that strange and dignified counte- nance excited the admiration and won- der of Wirt Phillips. He inspected his find with great pleasure. What was there about those gray blue eyes, othat, aquiline nose, that firm, set mouth, that arrested his attention and, led him to believe the face in -the miniature was familiar to him in some vague but certain way? Painting Years Old , "Here was the head and shoulders of a woman of middle age, portly, serene, dignified, a little stern. She was dressed in the high muslin cap and deep fischu of another period —the pe- riod just gone, the period that ushered in the hoopskirts and lace mittens of the Civil war period. She looked like a lady of -the Revolution. era. The painting, too, gave evidence of having been executed many years before. A17 ready the rosy flush of the cheeks was - fading and the red line of the lips had 'lost its vivid coloring. The miniature was framed in a pliant. gold 'frame, simple and elegant, with a round gold loop . for hanging. But study the pic- ture as he would, with its elusive air: of familiarity, Mr. Phillips could not recognize where he had seen that;: countenance before, nor if, indeed, he' had seen it at,all. "Near the patch of leaves where he had picked up the morocco case lay the body of a man. He was not twenty -five feet away, flung out in his butternut uniform, perhaps the last man slain outright in the Civil war. It is not unlikely that little miniature had belonged to him. But he was dead. 14IRS.,- .CODE::; ASKS "GIFTS TO NEEDY .:Residents of the Country Club Dis- trict who wish to donate old clothing, furniture and toys, to be distributed directly to the 42 . needy families of - Edina, have been requested to get in touch with Mrs. W.

This was estimated to .allow for conslderable seepage. A cement cascade covered with rocks and complete with automatic gates is being constructed beside the well- site'; A pump -house will be erected and then buried beneath an earth well beside the cascade, and trees and shrubs will be planted. When water behind the cascade is high enough, it will overflow into the creek and thence three- quart- ers of a mile to the site of the pres- ent dam at West Fiftieth street. When water is low, and until the new lake is formed; the pump will automatically spill out 3,500 gallons a minute. Some water will continuously trickle over the top of the cascade to retain the effect of a natural waterfall. As a CWA project, more than 4,000 yards of clay were hauled into the pond -bed and the creek, and scattered as lining to prevent excess seepage. INews Shorts .I — Benefactor —Two months . ago the village council adopted •a new plan in the administration of relief, whereby a relief worker, Mrs. L. M. Jarvis, has employed to make regular visits at the homes of.those on the relief rolls. The village fathers now look with satis- faction upon the move. Mrs. Jarvis has proved of help to the council in better administering relief money, and has benefitted the unfortunate families with her counsel. There were 112 peo- ple in 32 families on relief in March. —0 — Committeeman —Ralph M: Beckwith, 4632 Browndale avenue, was a member, of a committee of eight business men which assisted in making arangementa for Community Visiting week, April 16, to 21.

Thorpe, District's Founder (Picture on Page 5) The Country Club District combined its annual Fourth of July observance with a celebration in honor of the dis- trict's tenth anniversary, and the re- sult was nothing short of a huge suc- cess. Young and old participated in the afternoon program of contests, with the egg- throwing, watermelon and cracker- eating matches holding the spotlight. A new feature, the "ice holding. contest," in which participants held a large cake of ice while making impromptu speeches, was another high spot in an afternoon filled with laughs. Splendid tribute was paid to Sam- uel S. Thorpe, founder of the district, when a huge birthday cake was cut in his honor as part of the tenth birth- day celebration. Everyone present was given a piece of the cake. "Pioneers" Honored Attendance was only fair, since many families had made arrangements to go out -of -town for the holiday week.

Gallons Going Over Fall Each Day (Pictures on Pages 2 and 3) Eight months of work and expendi- ture of $17,000 in preparation for and construction of a cascade in Minne- haha creek near the state highway bridge at: the west boundary of the district reached a culmination when water started flowing over the• artifi- cial fall last week. Half a million gallons of water were flowing over the cascade and into the millpond each 'day. Allowing for considerable ground seepage as a result of the prolonged drouth conditions this spring and sum- mer, approximately three months will be required to fill the pond, it was esti- mated. Finished Effect Already In order to give the job a finished effect, a temporary dam has been in- stalled west of the highway bridge, which is retaining sufficient water in a smaller pool to allow passersby an opportunity to see how the millpond and cascade will appear when the pond has been filled. The smaller pool WAS filled within a day after the water started running. Work was first started on the creek project during Thanksgiving week last November, when a crew of men work- ing under the Civil Works Administra- tion started lining the banks and bot- tom of the pond with clay. Approxi- mately $17,000, mostly in CWA funds, was spent in preparing the creek bed, (Continued on Page 2) WOMEN'S WEEK IS SLATED IN CITY A.

Roosevelt has been invited to open the week's observation. the cascade, landscaping, and other work incidental to finishing the job. Of this amount, a total of $3,000 in public subscriptions paid for the pump and digging the 100 -foot well which is providing the water. Persons whose homes are along the creek and other interested individuals contributed to this fund. The bed of the creek pool is now covered with three feet of water. When the pool has been filled early this fall the water will be no less than four feet daay, and in places will be as deep as 12 or '15 feet. Many Visit Scene After the water had started running last week, hundreds of persons came to see the artificial fall, many bring- ing bottles to be filled with water and taken home as souvenirs from the small successor to Minneapolis' Minne - haha Palls. Professional and amateur photo - graphers snapped dozens of pictures of the cascade, one of which is reprint- ed for readers of The CRIER on page' two.

In its present improved state, the creek site stands as another tribute to the conscientiousness of those living in the village and district, and the fore- sight of their officials in perpetuating the natural beauties of the historic creek. Many Congratulate Moore After the water had started flowing last week, dozens of people called the home of Village Recorder Ben B. Moore, originator of the cascade idea and an untiring worker for it, to of- fer congratulations on its completion. Confined to his home under doctors' orders, Mr. Moore was kept busy ans- wering his phone for the remainder of the day. Congressman Ernest Lundeen was among those who stopped at the Moore home to offer congratulations. Among the many tokens was a bou- quet of flowers from the Country Club association, accompanied by a card ex- pressing the congratulations of the as- sociation.

The reductions were recommended by the water works committee, but Al- derman Walter C. Robb led the oppo- sition, contending that Edina has not sufficient storage capacity to permit it to pump enough water from the Min- neapolis mains during off -peak hours. The vote was 6 to 18. Similar action was taken regarding a new St. Louis Park contract, in the interest of "treating everyone alike." — Change — Through a display adver- tisement in today's CRIER, announce- ment is made of a change of manage- ment at the Barnsdall station and ga- rage, Prance avenue south at Forty- fifth street. Robert A. Post, manager of the Barnsdall service, is a neighbor of the Country Club District, living at Brookside. E. J.

CHURCH NEWS I EDINA- MORNINGSIDE CHURCH The services of the church will re- open on Sunday, September 9th, with Church School at 9:45 and worship at 11:00. It is to be hoped that following the few weeks' of rest, recreation, the opportunities afforded by the vacation season, that members and friends of the church will be ready to respond whole- heartedly to the very first serv- ice of the church. In other words, let us not dissipate the month of September by any man- ner of hesitation in returning to the full life of the church. We have pur- posely allowed a brief respite of this nature in order that there may arise a hunger for the inspiration of the church again. May we have a crowded congregation of eager hearts and minds ready and responsive on the first Sun- day, September 9th. The summer has been busy for your minister —no vacation as yet. Perhaps there may be about ten days at the conclusion of the quarter for a little relaxation, but the study has been in- tensely stimulating and will continue to be so until the end of August. It would be a pleasure to hear from our friends at any time. Address me at 5757 University Ave., Chicago, Illinois. The theme for our first service will be "Maximum Power for Living To- gether." There will be interwoven into the line of thought certain stimulus received at the General Council in Oberlin as well as, the study at Chi- cago. It will mean something vital to your own life to be present on our first Sunday together. Allow me to express to the friends of the District my profound apprecia- tion of your loyalty and response, and to bid you a most cordial welcome to all the services of the church during the coming season. —Earl Ware Foster.

HAGEN COMPANY Hopkins, Minnesota THERE IS ONLY ONE FRIGIDAIRE — A PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS Page Eight - LET'S -TELL THE WORLD SENATOR'VEST'S DOG SPEECH (The Louisville Post) Poets and orators of all ages have paid tribute to the, faithful dog as man's true friend- Homer starts the, list, with his de- scription of Ulysses' faithful hound. Byron wrote an epitaph on his New- foundland dog, concluding with the lines: "To mark a friend's remains, these stones arise; I never had but one;' and here he lies." In America the late Senator George G. Vest paid .the most noted tribute to the dog in what has passed into his- tory as "Senator Vest's dog speech." The dog speech was delivered in Johnson county; Mo., when Senator Vest was practicing law in his early days and a tablet has been placed on the Johnson county courthouse to commemorate the fact, that it was there the speech was delivered. The case arose over the killing of a dog belonging to a poor man by a. more important member of the com- munity. The poor man sought damag- es and placed the case in the hands of George G. Vest. The defendant, prosperous and confident, engaged an attorney, and proceeded not to worry. They proved that the dog, as far as being of any practical or pedigreed worth was concerned, was utterly val- ueless. Why anyone should want him. especially a poor man, was skillfully suggested to the jury. Vest took little action until the time came for his argument. Then he step- ped forward to the jury box, and in a quiet tone, without any attempt at or- atorical display, delivered his "dog speech," which has passed into a clas- sic in the literature of law and the hu- manities. "Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his ene- my. The son and daughter that he has reared with loving care may become ungrateful. Those who. are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our name may become traitors to their faith. "The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him when he needs it most. Man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-con- sidered action. The people who are prone to fall upon their knees and do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of ma- lice when failure settles its shroud up- on our heads. "The one absolutely ,unselfish friend that a man may have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him. the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . "Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely. He-will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick THE CRIFIE7. the sores and wounds that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the . sleep of his pauper master as .if he were a prince. "When all the other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces', he is as constant in his love as the sun in- its Journey through the heavens: If for- tune drives the master forth, an out- cast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accom- panying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. "And when the last scene of all comes and death takes his master in its embrace and his body ;is laid away in the cold ground,. no matter if all other friends pursue" their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death." It is also part of the history of the case that the jury, not with unwet eyes, gave the verdict for the senator's client, without leaving the jury box. E. F.

The city ex- pects to realize .enough from the sale of wood to repay the loan. Eight States Now Eligible for R. F. C. Housing Loans MILLAWS HOUSING LETTER (440 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago), which has become the best weekly source of news and ideas on housing progress throughout the United States, reports in its issue of April 17 the recent enact- ment in South Carolina, Kansas and Arkansas of housing laws under which limited- dividend corporations are made eligible for R.F.C. loans. These states, in addition to New York, Ohio, Texas and New Jersey, previously reported in THE AMERICAN CITY, and Delaware, whose new housing law was signed by the Governor on April 24, bring up to eight the list of states now having such housing legislation. In Illinois, Califor- nia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Maryland, laws are re- ported "in the mill." In Indiana and Oregon such laws have failed of pass- age, and in Massachusetts legislation has been postponed until next year. A "Preparedness Check Sheet" of the main things that a city _ needs to do to prepare for a program of rehabilitation is published under six headings in the Millar Letter of April 24. United States Conference of Mayors Sponsors Federal Legislation CERTAIN measures of Federal legis- lation which are deemed essential for the continued stability and function- ing of the larger cities of the country are being ' actively sponsored by the United States Conference of Mayors, organized by the mayors of more than fifty impor- tant cities at a meeting in Washington, D. C., on February 17 last. National measures to which special consideration is being given by the Conference relate to municipal debt, loans by the Recon- struction Finance Corporation, and un- employment relief. Local financial prob- lems are also being studied, and the Conference issued last month mimeo- graphed reports on "License Taxes as a Source of Municipal Revenue" and on "Municipal Notes and Warrants." For a number of reasons the Confer- ence asked for and received the coopera- tion of the American Municipal Asso- ciation (the Federation of some twenty - five state leagues of municipalities), and that organization now serves as the sec- retariat for the Conference. Paul V. Betters, therefore, has the double title of Executive Director of the American Municipal Association, and Secretary of the United States Conference of Mayors, with headquarters at Drexel Avenue and 58th Street, Chicago. There was also published last month by the Public Administration Clearing House, with offices at the above address, a pamphlet listing the staff, organization, set -up, and program and activities of the group of ten national and international organizations in the field of government which have their headquarters in. Chi- cago: Public Administration Clearing House American Legislators' Association Bureau of Public Personnel Administration American Municipal Association American Public Welfare Association Governmental Research Association International City Managers' Association The Interstate Assembly Municipal Finance Officers' Association United States Conference of Mayors "Housing and Economic Recovery" UNDER this heading and "Economic Recovery and Slum Reconstruction," in printed and mimeographed statements respectively, timely and practical sugges- tions have been made available by John Ihlder; Executive Director of the Pitts- burgh Housing Association and the Bos- ton Housing Association. Mr. Ihlder's general theme is that surpluses, or the possibility of creating surpluses of prod- ucts, form the greatest handicap to re- storation of business activity; that money_ or credit available either from banks or from the Government is of little avail if its use results in products that cannot be sold; and that dwellings are the one product of which the surplus is apparent rather than real. A five -point housing program is sug -, gested by Mr. Ihlder to include (1) demolition of obsolete houses; (2) re- pairing or renovation of houses worth the investment; (3) inclusion of the net cost of shelter in the budgets of families receiving public relief; (4) creation of limited - dividend corporations to reconstruct slum or distressed areas; and (5) creation of similar corporations to provide housing for families of low income. The two documents above mentioned are available on application to Mr. Ihlder at Pittsburgh or Boston. Organizations Warn of Danger of Unplanned Use of Labor in Parks and Forests AWARNING against permitting unem- ployment relief labor, including that of the Federal Conservation Corps, to perform inadequately planned work in parks and forests, was .sounded by the Federated Societies on Planning and Parks at their annual meeting here April 1.9. Represented in the group of organizations are the American Civic Association, the American Institute of Park Executives, the Appalachian Trail Conference, the National Conference on City Planning, and the National Confer- ence on State Parks. A statement authorized by the group called attention to the fact that ill- advised clean -ups in forests which are designed to be preserved in natural condition may wholly change their character and rob them of irreplaceable values: "The use of unemployment relief labor in public parks and forests offers a great oppor- tunity to increase the usefulness of these prop- erties and to provide adequate protection for them against fire and other destructive agencies, in addition to the many benefits flowing from such work to those who participate in it. "The Federated Societies on Planning and Parks perceives, however, that the use of this labor on projects inadequately planned carries with it distinct and considerable possibilities of destruction of certain precious and sometimes irreplaceable values. Clean -up work in forested areas, for example, can be so carried on as completely to change the character of the natural forest; badly placed or ill- advised roads can, to a greater or less degree, wholly destroy unique landscape values; the same result can be pro- duced with badly planned and badly located structures. - "These facts point to the urgent neces=sity of providing, in connection with all such utiliza- tion of relief labor, skillful planning and alert and intelligent supervision; and we urge upon Federal and state authorities alike, the necessity of providing for such planning and such super- vision." 'f) THE AMERICAN CITY The New Colonial Design Elevated Tank This new tank was designed and built for the City of Tallahassee, Fla. It has a capacity of 400,- 000 gallons and is 78 feet to bottom. The Colonial design combines beauty and util- ity. Its pleasing appearance permitted the City of Tallahassee to locate it in a high class residen- tial district, right where the storage was needed. The shallow depth of the tank proper minimizes the possible variation of head in the system and reduces operating costs. The April, 1933, issue of our magazine, THE WATER TOWER, contains a detailed story on the Tallahassee installation. If interested, write our nearest office for a copy.

Mr. Ben B. Moore c/o Country Club Association Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Sir: Regarding the matter of erecting a 500,000 gallon reser- voir overhead in the Country Club District, I beg to make the following report. The attached sheet, showing consumption at the Country Club, 'is written by Joe Estabrook, I have had several meetings with Fred Putnam, our attor- ney, and we find as follows: since the Country Club section is not a separate political unit, it cannot issue a general obligation bond for the erection of such a building within the Country Club, neither can it legally issue a special assessment bond. As to the matter of charging three.or four cents a gallon against the water consumers, this has several objections, the main one is that a,$501,000 building with the interest and a sinking fund requirement that.would pay out in 15 years would add 8¢ per gallon to the cost of your water at your present rate of consumption, 62,000,000 gallons. This, of course, would make water in the Country Club District pro - hibittg,q especially in view of the tact that Morning Side right across the street car tracks have °a retail rate of about 16¢ per thousand' ,gallons and any new resident moving into the Country Club,`**W certainly askg embarrassing questions when the water for both d.ist.ricts would come out of the same plant. There is a possibility of a solution to be arrived at, 1 assuming that you or your association own the water cstribut- inQ: system. If this. were triief, it is possible thaf� property _ might be traded for a building suitable for housing of the dillage offices, an assembly room a.nd the housing requirements that the village needs. Mind you, I do not say this can be done because that also would put a, burden upon the small water system. As to the rates we would charge for water, I submitted the contract to Thorpe Brothers several weeks ago, a copy of which is in the hands of your Mr. Harkness, These rates are very reasonable and can only be arrived at by all three of -2— Ben B Moore 1/3/33 the adjoining villages, namely the Country Club, Morning Side, and St. Louis Park, being hooked into one system. CONSUMPTION AT COUNTRY CLUB 62,000,000 gallons per year or 165,000 gallons per day This will be three days' supply on hand which is alright perhaps in the winter time but absolutely out of the question in the summer time when the water in an overhead concrete re- servoir will be stagnant for more than three days and will un- doubtedly develop organic growths such as algae or green scum, and will be much too warm for satisfactory drinking. The ex- pense of a 500,000 gallon reservoir is very great as it will have to be supported and a load approximating 4000 tons inclu- ding both water and concrete will stand above a building which will probably be much smaller than the tank. If a tall struc- ture is set above the building, a suggested dimension is 41 feet in diameter and the tank itself will have a 50 foot water depth. It may be 52 feet in diameter with a 40 foot.water depth. It may be 60 feet in diameter and twenty five feet deep. This shows conclusively that such an overhead structure is much too large for the Country Club and could only be jus- tified as a portion of a large city supply to overcome de- ficiencies in pumping over short periods. In our opinion, 200,000 gallons storage overhead is all that could possibly be economically handled. If a. circular tank is to be used, we recommend one 40 feet in diameter and 20 feet water depth. This placed overhead above a building and. supported would cost about $22,000 on the present market, A 500,000 gallon tank would probably cost in excess of $50,000. If a plant were available where the period 11 P.N. to 5 A.M.'were an off -peak period, the rate for water could be set at the cost of pumping•,chemical for softening and actual labor plus its share of the fixed charges, with all contin- gencies overhead repairs, additional labor, etc. being charged to the main customers who require continuous service. This should make the rate.very low to the Country Club - group, It will be quite impossible, however, to set up a rate until the other towns have been contracted for.
