ORDINANCE NO. 323

 AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR AN EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER SYSTEM.

 WHEREAS, the amount heretofore appropriated for maintaining, extending a repairing and operating the City Water Works for the fiscal year 1922, because of the unexpected breaking of and leaky condition of water mains, and of the unusual dry, hot weather during the Summer of 1922, which disclosed that the present water system is in need of immediate improvement in order to increase the water pressure over the city in order to insure ample domestic supply and necessary fire protection, and that an immediate survey of said water system was necessary in order to determine what was necessary to improve said system whereby the citizens of Grand Junction will be insured an ample water supply for domestic use and fire protection, has been expended and sufficient funds are not available to maintain the City Water Works for the balance of the year 1922; therefore an unforeseen contingency has arisen, making it necessary to pass an ordinance to appropriate money to maintain the Water Works of the City of Grand Junction for the balance of the year 1922.

 THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 Section 1. That there be and hereby is appropriated for the purpose of defraying the necessary expense of the City Water Works of the City of Grand Junction for the remainder of the present fiscal year, ending December 31st, 1922, the sum of $5000.00.

Passed and adopted this 23rd day of August A.D. 1922.
