Realizing the decided trend toward water softening and iron removal, we are arranging to have a session devoted entirely to the problems involved in water softening and iron removal. We have been very fortunate in securing li.r.Charles H.Spaulding, a recognized authority on this subject, of Springfield, to take charge of this session. With many towns experiencing a decrease in water revenue, it is especially important that the operating efficiency be main- tained without reducing the good quality of the supply in a 250 water softening plant, proper operation is particu- larly necessary if efficient operation is to be maintained. We are, therefore, inviting your superintendent of water to attend this conference. 't would be ad- vantageous for him to attend the entiretwo-day session, but if this is not possible, attendance on the first daywill prove very profitable to you and to the superintendent. On the other side is a program of the conference and we urge that you authorize your water, superin- tendent to attend, because no commodity in your community is more necessary than a clean, safe water supply. Very truly yours, FRANK J. JIRKAI M.D. iiirector The motion was made by Alderman MacLuckie and seconded by Frederick to instruct lir. Marvin Wells, Superintendent of Public Works, to attend this convention at the City's expense and to authorize the necessary expenditure there- for.
