No better monument to city progress could be raised than this severely simple structure of brick and « ; concrete. In 1900 the wells on Ben nett street, the town’s first water supply, were opened; ten years later the Robeit’s filter was installed in the succeeding water works then lo cated near the present Mid-Pines Club. Outmoded a few years later, plans were formulated for a plant and water supply ample for all future needs. Completed and opened for ser vice July 1st, 1925, the plant, design- 3d by Gilbert C. White, similar in type and design to the much larger ane of Charlotte, cost :5175,000 and affords the city an unlimited supply from a stream long acknowledged as the finest water in all Moore county. Two thousand feet to the west- >vard of the pumping station is the dam, a structure 700 feet long, 180 feet wide at the base, tapering to ten feet at the top and rising 32 feet from the stream bed. Back of the dam, fed by the headwaters of Mill creek and numerous springs is the supply lake novi' flooding over 70 acres and con taining 150,000,000 gallons of pota ble water. From this lake the water is piped to the storage reservoir of 300,000 gallons capacity at the plant. Here the water passes through a sand filter and is chlormated under the supervision of the State Board of Health whose officers inspect the plant seven or eight times a year. For further protection samples are •Sent to the State Laboratory of Hy giene for analysis every month. So lapid is the flow of the springs that at the burning of the Southern Pines Hotel the fire companies of Aber- Buok Club Meets The members of the Waller Hines Book Club were entertained by Mrs, Robert F. Stewart at her home in Pinebluff last Thursday afternoon. Continuing the Study of Islands of the Sea, Mrs. E. M. Medlin gave a paper on "Cook Islands;" Mrs. E. L.
