Pequannock main, from which this city is
being partially supplied, showed that during
the past twenty-four hours S646,132 gallons
of water had been delivered. This is about
100000 gallons more than was delivered the
day the water turned on. The first days
supply was S,s76.o00 gallons; second day, g.

The increased supply is due TO the fact that

as practicable to her supply of 81 600 gal
