The report made by Mr.. J. M. Colman
and other practical men. who were invited
by the city council to examine
the new pumping machinery re-
Gently set up at Lake Washington,
shows that there has been laundering and
mismanagement in the whole enterprise.
and that there will have to be many
changes before the new machinery
can become efficient in any complete
sense. This report fully iustifes the
charges made by this journal several weeks
ago. 1t will be remembered that reporter
visited the works while the machinery was
being put in place and gave to the public
critical review of the work,
corresponding almost exactly with
the report now made by Mr..
Colman and his associates. Nowlet US ask,
What was Engineer Benezette Williams
doing while this work was in progress? Is
it possible that MIR. Williams does not
know how pumping machinery should be
adjustedf Did Mr.. Williams neglect his
business? Did Mr.. Williams knowingly
permit the work to be done wrong? These
are questions which naturally suggest
themselves.

gross earnings has been more than half
consumed by the increase in operating ex-
penses, and that the increase in dividends
is barely nominal. The average of passen-
gers per train has fallen from IS in 1882 to
4s in 1859, which shows that railroad con-
struction has increased faster than has the
amount of travel by rail. In the nine
years the average fare has been reduced
about one-third Of cent per mile. There
