ROCKLAND AND IT'S WATER SUPPLY
c. l.. NJ. writes to the Boston journal There
is among the people of Rockland good feeling
toward securing the establishment of some new
industries TO give employment to the people of
the city and increase its general prosperity.
Heretofore the lime business has been the sup
port Of the place. as little aid has been obtain
ed from the shipyards for number of years.
The new Rockland and Camden Water Com
pany has Il sufficient head of water to furnish
ample power for any manufacturing enter
prSCS that can be run by means of a water
motor. and number of these useful affairs
have already been introduced by different con-
Germs in the city. Rates are made so reason
able as to cause them to di>place the steam
power heretofore employed. With this ex-
cepton there is no water power to be obtained
for manufacturing purposes. The opportunity
TO ship goods to and from market by railroad
or steamboat affords Il guarantee Of low freight
rates, and with the growing disposition to aid
any manufacturing enterprises dcsirous of To-
eating in Rockland, the place seems to offer
good advantages for an unlimited number Of
such establishments.
The Rockland and Camden Water Company,
which put in a splendid water service last year,
is at present constructing a reservoir on IA hill
226 feet above the main street of Rockland at
an estimated expense of 100000. The pond
from which water is drawn has an elevation of
320 feet and the entire service, when compet-

regulating valve, a steady pressure of 50
pounds is maintained on the water pipes

from the fact that Il beavers dam was found a
dozen feet beneath the surface Of the peat bed,
the location would appear to have once been
pond. though all traces of the source of the
water nave disappeared. Another peculiar
feature OF the locality is the broken rock which
