IMPROVEMENTS. 
Springs Nos. 1 and 2, as above noted, are situated in a small 
park. They are about 100 feet apart, and each is covered by a 
pavilion (Plate XXI.) The springs are walled up and cemented, 
and furnish an abundance of water, which is utilized very ex- 
tensively by the people of the city. The flow of spring No. 1 
is estimated at about 480 gallons per hour, and that of No. 2 
about 160 gallons per hour. At the northeast corner of the 
park is a bath-house with several bath-rooms, arranged for the 
use of hot and cold water. The water is pumped from either 
of the springs, and stored in a tank in the upper part of the 
bath-house. 
On account of a change of proprietors, this resort was not 
in operation during the summer of 1898, nor has it been since 
that time. At some seasons of the year, especially during the 
summer, these springs are used by the people of the vicinity, 
and in fact spring No. 1 may be regarded as the source of city 
supply for good, wholesome drinking water. Spring No. 2 
furnishes water that has been shipped quite extensively, but 
the water of No. 1 is said to contain so much iron that it de- 
posits after standing a short time, so that, without special ar- 
rangements for carbonating, it cannot be conveniently shipped.
