tons TO the visitors. The water works OF
| Zanesyille are source OF much pride, and
well they may be, erected as they are at q
convenient distance from and above the
city, thus avoiding all deleterious and Of
lfensiye matter that might impregnate the
stream from which the supply for 20, 600
people is drawn. The building Is large
and new, and admirably adapted to the
purpose for which 1t was constructed. 1t
Is three stories in height, and has very
imposing exterior, giving evidence Of re.
cent erection, and Is not bad piece oil
architecture by any means Within 1t is
provided with all the machinery Of the
latest design and pattern requisite for It's
easy and convenient operation. Beside all
other machinery, they have provided the
Worthington pumps that are marvel Of
mechanical ingenuity and simplicity and
recommend themselves at first sight. OF
these pumps the larger has daily capacity
OF 5000, 900 gallons, and the smaller one
2,000, 900, thus giving daily supply, OIL
water OF 100000 gallons to that little
city. These pumps were infinitely exam
ined by not only the members OF the
Committee on Water Works OF this city,
but also with great interest by those &C,
companying them, Messrs. Schultz and
, Gilbert furnishing all the information nee
ossary as to their cost, ease Of operation
capacity, durability and in short anything
: they could, although Mcssrs. Riddle and
Peterson were both perfectly familiar with
! them, having previously examined them
! There is no difference in the construction
, OF the two pumps only in size, the ont
having capacity OF 100000 in excess oil
the other.
After thorough examination Of the
two pumps, and especially ofthe large one
the committee which had come prepared
, only TO pass upon the merits Of the smaller
one, were unanimously in favor OF thu
larger one, and said they would SO report
and this was endorsed by the members o
Council along with the others. Indeed
/, they we're all enthusiastically in favor o
, this pump, and II they succeed in enthus
