Substantial mpTOYement.-The D.
& NJ. Railroad Company have quite large
force Of masons and carpenters engaged in
the erection OF Il new engine house on the
bank of the river. The building is fast
| approaching completion and is of the most
substantial nature. The building, engine
and pump are placed upon heavy and sub
stantial foundations of stone. The build
ing is frame structure, double walls and
| iiiled i'll with sawdust to prevent freezing
within, and covered with slate roof to
preven fire from sparks. a new well has
been dug within the enclosure extending
below the bed Of the river, from which it
will he fed, which will no doubt furnish
an ample supply. The pipes have been
relaid to the top of the Hill and lowered to
a depth that will secure them from the ef-
| feels of the frost. In short the whole work
| is being executed with a view to conven-
ience and durability.
We hope the day is not distant when
such arrangements will he made by the
Corporation with the railroad company
rs will enable the town TO receive a water
supply from this source.
