JOSEPHINE DUMAS COTTON Mrs. Josephine Dumas Cotton died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Mest, on Saturday, May 29, 1926, a the age of 74 years, seven months and fourteen days. She was born at Sheldon, N. Y., in 1851, and united in marriage' with Dell Cotton, December 24, 1873. She leaves to mourn their loss, a husband and two daughters, Mrs. some time; W. F. Persons of Dele- van, Ralph Jackson of East Aurora, O. S. Howlett of Freedom, and Hugh Davis of Salamanca. It was a great occasion, and one long 'to be remem bered by the members. ' Brother Dean, a former member I of Arcade Lodge, introduced the 1 Master, officers and brothers of Lack- I awanna Lodge in a few eloquent , words. About five years ago, because ol| inadequate water supply and low] pressure, the fire insurance com-j panies changed the risk classifica4 tion of the Village of Arcade from; Class B to Class C with an increase in rates accordingly. .Within th following year the village drilled well at the eleetricT >lant .installed large power pump, reconstructed an roofed the reserve reservoir at the] head of Park street and connected: the new supply with the old system. As a result of this improvement the insurance companies restored the B classification and rates. At the time the above work was done it was generally conceded that a more desirable plan would have been the installation of larger mains leading from the supply source, but such a change would have involved an expense estimated at approximate ly $80,000.00, and as the plan adopt ed involved an expense of only 10 per cent of that amount, the more desirable plan was deferred. Five years ago*, and again last week, the Village Board engaged Mr. Charles V. Busch, an hydraulic en gineer of Buffalo, to~ make an inves tigation and report on our Village water supply and system. In both instances, Mr. Busch reported that the sources of water supply were ample and adequate, but that the carrying capacity of the mains run ning from the source of supply to the point of distribution (from the springs to the center of Arcade Vil lage) were entirely inadequate and should be replaced by a larger main [_if a thoroughly satisfactory solution of the question was desired. Since the installation of the well and pump, in connection with our water system, there has been an av erage of over one million gallons per week pumped into our supply mains jand while this well supply is first 'class both as to quality and quantity, we must all agree that there is a possibility of serious interruption due to a break-down of the pump or the telectric service which operates it, ^nd in the event of such a condition we would be dependent entirely on the inadequate imains between the .springs and the village. With an ade- jquate supply main our entire water Supply would be delivered to us by gravity and would eliminate the needs of any pumping. As a pre- ^ 0^10^17 measure the pump in- tajlation would be retained and in the remote contingency of the grav ity system being shut off for repairs, the pump would be available during such a period. The Village Board has been giving Jfthis matter serious consideration. They believe it would be the part of wisdom to undertake the work as jiabove outlined. The estimated cost jVf the project would probably be be tween $.30,000 an d $60,000. The Board does not care to assume re sponsibility of submitting a proposi tion for the voters until tbe senti ment of our people is learned. If a large majority favor or oppose the project the Board will be governed apcordingly. To get an expression ROAD BUILT FIVE MILES FREEDOM - RUSHFORD ROAD BEING RUSHED.
