ENTERTAINMENTS Al Ehh City MILL
The initial of the long needed and contem-
plated improvements at the City Mill was be-
gun, several weeks ago. and is progressing as
rapidly as possible towards completion This
improvement consists in cutting a long ditch
through the solid rock, upon which the mill is
built two feet lower than the Brandywne and
extending beneath its bed, 70 as to allow a
greater and continued supply OF water.
Under the system at present prevailing at the
mill, the Cornish Engine, which assista the two
pumps in filling the Market street basin, remains
idle from eight to nine hours daily by reason OF
a scarcity of water, 80 that the consumption by
the city is fully equal to the supply In fact, il
is sometimes greater, and becomes necessary to
work on Sunday in order to meet the demand
Any unusual demand for water could not be met,
for both the pumps and the Cornish Engine are
sadly out of repair. With the aid of this ditch,
it will be possible TO run the Cornish Engine
constantly, inasmuch as il will always be sup
piled with waters long it continues to dow down
the BrRndywine.
Other improvements are in contemplation,
chief among which is the remodeling or rebuild
ing Of the mill itself. In October next the new
Worthington pump will be eady for use, aud it's
setting up will necessitate at least the remodel
ing of, the old weather-beaten structure. Chief
Engineer Gallagher has caused an estimate to
be made OF both the remodeling Of the mill and
the construction of new one with pressed brick
front and mansard roof and finds difference
of only 81 500 in favor of the former the latter
costing but 50 90. He has also obtained plans
and specific ltious for the new bull ling and will
submit them to the Wa or Committee ut its
meeting, this evening
