THEIR sEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY
-i "A BRIEF RESUME OF THEIR
r.|.., HISTORY.
In his regular weekly report to Coun-
ell, last evening, Capt. G. FL. Gallagher,
Chief Engineer of the Water Depart
ment, included the following:
This being the fiftieth anniversary of
the introduction of the Brandywine wa
ter into the city, have copied from the
minutes and reports the following facts !;
In November, 1927. the Council Or
dered to be laid in certain streets of the
city, for distributing mains, from King to
Orange on Seventh, six-inch, and on the
other streets three and four-inch, in all
about 5000 feet. Since then the Coun-
Gil have laid about 250,000 feet of pipe,
not including the large pipe now being
laid ON the cross streets. The largest
pipe laid in 1927 was an eight-inch dis
tributing main down Market street to
Seventh, and from Seventh to Water
street, on Market, six and four-Inch,
The largest pipe now in use is the thirty
inch forcing main on Eleventh street
The Handsome stone building" IL
which the "doub1e acting pump" was
placed, still remains, and still protects
the ''double acting pump as it performs
its quiet duty of forcing into the basir
at Tenth and Market streets its 487 ,60(
gallons of water daily, as 1t did in 1927
Compared with the large Worthingtol
duplex it seems insignificant, yet as al
adjunct it saves to the city in the cours
of the year a great many tons of coal.
The capacity of the basin in 1927 wa
100000 gallons; now, with the com
pletion of Cool Spring Reservoir, whicl
we expect will be in use early mex
month, the capacity is about 2S,000,00
gallons. In 1880, three years after tn
Introduction of the BraDdywine watel
the water rents amounted to 50, 124.0-
while for the year 1877 they amounte
to little over $4,000. The abov
statement is made to remind the Cour
Gil of the semi-centennial of The watt
works, as we'll as to enable all to col
trast the present with the past.
Very respectfully yours,

Ii will be remembered that the

Arnold's improvement on Ruiiers in
connection with their own patent,
and that this right was confirmed to
them by the u. S. District court, OF
the Southern District of New York.
Judge Blatchford presiding, and that
no Rufller can be made without in
fringing on this patent. In alluding
to this fact the Seeing Machine Jou,a-
al for September says:
Gas will be seen, the document il
very concise and to the point, and
covers all plating, rufiling, or shir'
ring mechanisms in use.
owe are glad to know that the
