months by the original contractor, and, as a result, some of the work became defective, and the defective portions of the sewer had to be redone. Lateral drains attached to the sewer were also constructed, so, in the words of Berghoff, "the people could have the benefit of this outlet." The South Wayne Sewer, which he believed "ought to have been constructed several years before," was, like the Intercepting Sewer, heavily criticized. He hailed the South Wayne Sewer as being "first-class in every respect," and in his Annual Message at the end of 1903, Berghoff commended it as having "gave relief as an outlet to the whole of South Wayne, as well as the territory in the southern, southwestern and western part of the city." In his annual message at the end of 1903, Berghoff remarked on the effectiveness of the Intercepting and South Wayne Sewers, saying, "It was thought that the building of the Intercepting and South Wayne Sewers would bankrupt the city, but when the work was completed and the purposes of them enjoyed, the people ceased to complain."

consulted with experts and local businessmen on what should be done to prevent the impending water famine, and, according to Berghoff, they decided on increasing the pump capacity of Fort Wayne's two water plants. A new air plant was installed at the first water plant, and a new 6 million gallon pump was installed at the second water plant. Additionally, Berghoff ordered that the water from a canal basin flow into the main supply of the city's water for ten hours, in order to give the city a larger supply of water. As a result of these new installations, he believed, "the needs of the city for many years to come" would be supplied (six or seven million gallons of water would be pumped through the two water plants a day, and 140 gallons of water a day would be pumped for each Fort Wayne citizen). However, Berghoff and his administration came under scrutiny after the water from the canal basin polluted the city's water. He accepted the blame for the pollution, arguing that the need for more water because of an impending of a water famine had justified his actions.

Berghoff delivered a rousing speech at the event, praising Germans for their contributions to America, saying, "The Germans have done more toward the progress and up-building of this country in every avenue of commerce, of art, and of learning, than any or all other peoples on earth, and every intelligent American will admit it." Berghoff, proud "in being a German," emboldened the audience, whom he referred to as "we Germans in America," to not forget their "mother tongue," to preserve "the customs of their fathers," and that they "may well feel proud of our nation." Berghoff, after stating "we need not be ashamed of our ancestry," criticized those who avoided demonstrations of their German heritage: "Such do not deserve the name of Germans." Berghoff claimed that a minimum of two thirds of Fort Wayne citizens were German, and believed this indicated that second and third generation German-Americans still harbored their German identity. At the close of the Turnfest, 463:"We need not to be ashamed of our ancestry. The Germans have done more toward the progress and upbuilding of this country in every avenue of commerce, of art, and of learning, than any or all other peoples on earth, and every intelligent American will admit it. From the Germans the Americans have learned to beautify and to enlighten their homes, to make life worth living, and to look to something higher and more worthy than the pursuit of the almighty dollar. The Germans have given to the Americans the love of song, the taste for music. From the German the American has received the Christmas tree, and the beautiful customs that make home lovely; from the German he has learned moderation in drinking and enjoyment without excess, and, last, but not least, the German gave the American the "Turnerei," that aims to cultivate both mind and body. 712: 913: 831:

However, during the first years of his mayoralty, he had gradually changed his position, and in 1903, decided against the construction of a municipal plant, instead opting for a privately owned corporation to be the city's main lighting supply, stating, "there is so much corruption in American cities that public utilities can be more economically managed by private corporations." On February 12, 1904, Berghoff, with the approval of the Fort Wayne City Council, signed General Ordinance 223, which granted a 31-year contract for a municipal lighting franchise to the Fort Wayne Electric Light and Power company, a private corporation. The

Yes, we Germans in America may well feel proud of our nation but we are scarcely proud enough. There are some who, feeling ridiculed by the appellation of "Dutchmen," endeavor to forget their mother tongue and depart from the customs of their fathers. Such do not deserve the narne of Germans. 935: 758:

The Fort Wayne Board of Public Works, during Berghoff's mayoralty, approved the plans for the construction of the sewer made by the previous board. Some Fort Wayne citizens criticized the sewer, calling it "a useless expenditure of money" and "not a public necessity." Berghoff, however, believed it to be an improvement to the city, stating, "The sewer is doing the work it was intended to do." The Intercepting Sewer purified the

I know that the Turners are honorable, gallant young men, and I know that the key will be in good hands, and so, once again, in the name of the citizens of Fort Wayne, at least two-thirds of whom are Germans, I bid you a warm, a hearty welcome." 822:, stated that a 1900 city ordinance required the health commissioner, and not the waterworks trustees, to run weekly tests on the city's water.
