Oowa ........................... 6 Water snd severage.-During the year a eontmt with the city of Grand Junction for our su ply of domestic water was signed, and all employees agree that there is s marked ciange for the better in every quality, and there is certainly a considerably better pressure that would be largely to our advantage in case of fire, but is to our cost in the increase in use and waste. During a personal interview with you regard'mg the conditions at the school, yon assured me, after I had taken a certain position, that under the circumstances yon would hold me personally respnsible for the health of the achool. You may recall that I assumed the reapanaib~lity de ending upon the installation of the sewer sys tem and a change of'domestic water !or the results, and hurried home to sign a cpn-tract with the c ~ toyf Grand Junction for the water. I begthe honor of yourattentlon to my claim that I have discharged the obligation to the utmost, and for the hated term at the school for any of the last four years beg comparison with the present summer in corroboration of my claim. The sewer system has proven a boan to the health of t h w living at the school, but a source of controversy between the school and the county commissioners, who are claiming that the permissiongrantedto lay sewer alongaroadway was exceeded when an elevation on the roadway was made to cover and protect the pipe for a portion of the distance and to can the pipe on a uniform grade for another rt. This matter is not vet settled, andthough the trafic of the road is in no waygssened or interfered with, it seems that there is a technical obstruction of the road that the commissioners declare we must remove or they will do so. You are informed of the matter of the protection of the river above the town by the city council under State laws, and the fact that we were unable to get into the river at a point just below the intake of the Grand Junction city waterworks when the estimate for sewer was pendine Our inability to get into the river just south of us was made known to your office m my annual report of 1892, and the fear expressed in that report has been unintermitting and every plan and proposition conceived or suggested has been followed to impmhcability or excessive expense in my best judg-ment, all of which has from time to time been communicated to your ofice. It iseasy to see that that which in any way, shape, or 10- interferes with fullest freedomof a human being is not apt to be relished by him however valuable itmay he i |
