'the board instructed Village M an- ager C. M. Osborni to confer with Ev anston officiaIs relative to the ini- stallation of a temporary booster pump station on Prairie avenue .Iust nrhof Isabella street. * Sise Evanston Accord This station would be in addilion to the one now in operatioft and would provide sufficient water to alleviate the tense situation encountered dur- ing the past sunîmer. In view of the fact that it would be but a temporary arrangement and that within a few months «Evanston would be relieved of the burden of furnishing water t'o Wilmette, it was deemed probable that officiaIs of that citywould readi-- ly consent to the proposai. In considering possible sources.,of an' increased water supply, the board delved into every f easible.plan witlà exhaustive thoroughness. Evanston. it was determined, has already reached the limit of its capacity and wouild be unable to make additions t) its ilant ithout entailing a very great expense. 'Such an expansion program at thisý time is not feasihie for thi-t citv. it is stafed. Iviga tion. of othfer proposed plans, for hôosting the quantity of water to he delivered* to this village proved eauaillv fruitless.. Thus, bv- the eliimina- tion, process,,the board . reached the conclusion that only through the erection of aý municipal plant could the village water- requirements be met. Ways~ of Financing Project Four mneans of financing the con- struction of a municipal plant are poss ible. These are: through the is- suance of..water cerificates; throuigh the issuance of water .revenueé bond4;; l)y formning a company and issuin g stock and through issuing ýgeneral' revenue bonds. 0f these, the first three are de- signed primarily for niunicipalities whose bonded inclebtedness is so great as to, prohibit the issuance of general 'revenue bonds. It is pointed out that the interest rate on water certificates or water revenue bonds is mùch, higher and the sale value of the bonds much lower than is the case with general revenue bonds. For these teasons, it was concluded that the most practical plan would be to issue general revenue bonds. Inasmuch as Wilmette's comoaratively Iow bonded indebtedness will permit, the issuance lof bondsiii far 2greater; amount than. that needed to erect a. new pumping and filtratiôn station, this finailce .Plan is feasible and has been adopted.
