Aurora City Water Works Dry After Pump Failure
The Aurora city water works costing about $290 000 has gone dry. One thousand consumers rely on two wells on an island in the Fox River fed by a conduit. The first time the well was pumped dry last week. A Nebraska court ruled that a mortgage on growing corn does not prove a lien on the crop. A Joliet penitentiary bill aims to fund $45 000 for machinery and $200 000 for raw material to supply farmers with cheap twine. The State Board of Agriculture plans $60 000 for new buildings at the state fair on 40 acres between Prospect Hill and the river reached by streetcars and rail lines.
