Fine water Works.
HOW THE cHEsArEAKE & DE1AwARE CANAL
IS KEPT SUPPLIED WITH wATlR DURING
TIE SUMNER MONTHsA


THE SUMNER N0NTHSI
Persons ara often surprised, in crossing the
CIeSa peal ke ~ Delaware Canal, while riding
on the Delaware Railroad, TO fnd that, not
wlthsta ndinG tf0 fBeyere drought that has
wasted ana dried up che adjacent streams, the
canal retains Its usual velume Of water, and Is
open 70 navigation throughout the hOtand dry
season. Formerly the canal was affected by
tne drought and frequent suspensions ST bus
iness OCCURRED during the summer months.
Finding that II was absolutely necessary to
OOvlate this dihlcnlty, which annually caused
considerable pecuniary loss, tie Company
crested their present large aud extensive wa
ter works at Chesapeake CITY, Cecil county,
Nd, which are the wonder and admiration Of
all who behaId them.
These works, 1t is said, In extent and capac-
ity, snEpass anything Of the kind, 10 the cOun-
try: They constantly keep the canal supplied
with water, from Chesapeake City, TO St.
9earges, Del, y distance Of nine miles, and
are kept running, during the dry season, TWEEN
ty-tWo hours out Of twenty-fOur. The motive
powerof the works isa tremendous wheel,
about forty feet in diameter, driven by DOW
capacity Of lifttng 2 900 900 gallons OF water
per hour. This quantity. 1t Is said, would sup
ply the people Ofthls city and Philadelphia
with all the water necessary for ordinary pur-
poses. .t4r
Notwithstanding the immense size and ca.
pacity Of these works, they seldom get out of
order, are easily managed, and perform their
functions easily and wen. They were built by
Messrs. Merrick q Son, PhlIadelphia.
Tne water which these works pump into the
canal, Is supplied by Back Greek, small
stream OF water running up close to the town,
which In turn receives its supply from the in
exhaustlble waters Of the Chesapeake Bay. --
The above Is but crude description of these
remarkable water works, as seen by a repre-
sentative Of the GAZETTE, during recent visit
to the town. No description, however full
and complete, could do them full justice they
must be seeu to be fully admired. They are
open at all times to the inspection Of the pub
lie and look at them alone Is we'll worth O
visit to the town In which they are located.
