The plant is situated on the riv er

! fitted with all modern convent
ences; new brick engine house has
replaced the old structure, and two
splendid COrless engines, added, al
so refrigerating machine with a
capacity of one hundred and TWEEN
ty tons per day; $4,000 was re-
CURED for this addition alone; is
is certainly the neatest, most sub

the work having been done under
the supervision of our eminent ar

From this house is furnished all
the power that moves the machin-
