agreed to complete the line to Harmony

the town furnished sufficient guarantee,
but an extension of sixty days was asked
by the road A town meeting was recent

was not the necessary two-thirds vote.
The president of the road now claims
that he cannot build the road into Har-

ne proposes to strike Main stream village
Tin the town of Harmony and thence to
Cambridge, leaving Harmony village
two milessto the west. Mr.. Lancaster,

secure the $40, 600, but can save consider
able distance by leaving it out altogether,
and must be secure on the assistance
talked of if he goes to that place. This
matter is now likely to be defeated by
the Maine stream side of the town. The
road will come to their village anyway
and they are now in a position where
they can have their pie and eat it, too
The Maine stream faction can probably
defeat any further action of the town
and save the $40, 600. while they get the
road and Harmony must go there for
railway accommodations.

After the reading the committee said:

A SALT WATER WELL.

Sunk for the supply Of Pools and Tanks ut
the New York Aquarium.
The salt water pools and tanks of the
New York aquarium ut Battery park are
now supplied from Il well sunk OH the
premises The aquarium's salt water
the bay through an intake pipe carried
out near the bottom from the Battery
sea wall. The water thus taken was I'LL
tered in the usual manner before deliver
ing it into the pools. This source of sup
ply was continued until the completion
Of the salt water well.
The Castle Garden structure, In which
the aquarium Is located, is built on made
ground; the tide was known to rise and
fall under some parts of the building.
There is cellar under that part of the
building which fronts on Battery park,
and there I'm excavation was made with
view to the sinking of salt water
we'll. This excavation was carried down
to a point below tide level, seven feet
below the cellar and thirteen feet below
the floor of the aquarium, through made
ground found to consist Of Il number of
feet of stone and gravel, filled in on TOP
of two tiers of logs laid crosswise and
resting upon stone thrown in on the bot
tom. In this excavation, which was
about $50 feet inland from the Battery
sea wall, the tide rose and fell about one
hour later than it's rise and fall in the
open waters adjacent to the Battery.
The tests of this temporary we'll as to
supply and characteristics being salts
factory, work was begun upon the per-
manent plant now in use.
The well was carried down to a depth
of seventeen feet. and a perforated iron
tube was sunk in it, within which was
placed the suction pipe of the pump that
is attached to it. The water is drawn
through a wrought-iron galvanized pipe
seven inches in diameter and POI feet in
length, which, with a number of easy
bends, follows along inside the wall OF
section Of the nearly circular building
from the well to the pump, which is To-
Gated near the boiler room and the aqua
RUINS supply tanks. The capacity OF
the pump is 600 gallons u minute; it has
been tested to the full capacity of the
delivery pipe, with the result of showing
ample supply in the we'll. The require
! mcnts of the aquarium, however, are less
than this.
The water from the we'll is of the same
density as that taken from the open bay
