The New water works vain.

The contract for the 24inch main (about
10 900 feet) to connect the city with the
new works, was awarded to the Gloucester.
N j., iron works on very favorable terms
sSs 80 per ton-payable in equal quarterly
payments, the last payment to be made IN
May, 1888.
The present city mains are being tried
with direct pressure OF so pounds to the
square inch. The pressure heretofore by
the reservoir (or stand pipe) in Franklin
square has been SO pounds. These expert.
ments are being made under the direction
of s. P. Hamilton, Esq Chairman OF the
Committee on Water Works, with view OF
ascertaining the highest pressure possible
with present arrangements, and to cave the
cost Of new service or stand pipe. The
experiments have so far been very satiefac-
tory, and the extra pressure has given an
ample supply of water.
