ONLY Two DAYS SUPPLr. .A They
assure us at the Water Department that
the pumping capacity Is nsuch condition
that we are liable at any time by an &C,
cident to the worthington pump, to a
water famine, as the basins will not hold
more than two days supply. Capt. Gal
lagher, Chief Engineer, and Mr.. Febiger,
Chairman Of the Water COMMITTEES, both
say that another wotthingtou pump is
necessary. withd it the city could get
along for two years without finishing the
new reservoir. The Cornish pump havl
ing been in service twenty-five years is
almost completely worn out, and liable to
break to pieces any day. The Worthing-
ton pump requires overhauling now |;
and whether the reservoir Is completed or
not another wofthngton pump win be
necessary. The cost is stated at $37, 900.
But these gentlemen say they think a
fine new pump Of this kind can be had
for great dealless, having been used, for
Centennial purposes, but little. Ho-t'G
Until it is settled that the site of the
new reservoir is fit for such purpose, we
hope it will not be completed. We
therefore, hope that only enough water
bonds will be asked for at the Legisla-
ture to furnish another Worthington
pump and lay some larger pipe. There
is no use In finishing the reservoir now,
it is not wanted, and perhaps in the two
years that will elapse, developments will
De made that will determine whether the
ground on which it is built can be made
to hold water safely or not. We think
that ordinary prudence points to thi:
course. 3. l-'. .rr.H.H it''n.
