THAT COSTLY new PUMP.
The City Trustees Now in a Snarl
Over Il.
An Expensive Affair That Requires
Exporting and Considerable
Overhauling.

The following message from the
Mayor and the report of Expert Cobb,
on the new pumping plant, were read
| by Clerk Desmond to the City Board of
Trustees last night, mad We're received
| with expressions of astonishment.
THE MESSAGE.
| To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
AT the last meeting of your board you
| appointed your President and myself
to select two experts to examine the
| new boilers and pumps at the Water
| Works for the purpose of ascertaining
| whether they are capable of furnishing
the steam power required of them Mr..
Cobb, who is undoubtedly very COM
petent person, has made some examina-
! ton of the plant, and now submits a
partial report and offers some sugges-
| tions for your consideration. His en-
gagements required his personal at
| tention at Bakersfield for few days,
and he concluded to submit these sug-
! gestions to you, and if satisfactory he
will return in a few days and make a
| thorough test of the boilers and pumps.
and where necessary will report to you
| what will have to be done in order to
put the plant in proper condition to
| w OIh ecOHUlilICdily anu 10 ODIdll the
| best results from the machinery We
have also engaged another expert who
will work with Mr.. Cobb when he re-
turns if it is deemed advisable The
| expense of employing these experts
will be $500 or S400
| 1t is evident to any person who is
competent to understand. the machin-
cry that We are not getting the best
| results, and that the plant is oper-
ated at too great an expense, and for
that reason some considerable expense
must be incurred to put the plant in
proper condition
| Mr.. Cobb's report suggests what will
have to be done. A great deal of
money has been expended on the plant,
and it should now be put in the best
| possible condition. While 1t may cost
| considerable to make tine needed i'm
| proVementS, the extra expense will
soon be saved in a more economical
operation of the plant.
| I herewith submit to you NJ Cobb's
| report for your consideration. Re-

In order To transact all of our foreign

those foreign countries that we sell our
goods to and from which we buy for
eign goods, we need an American mer-
camille marine under the Stars and

tons, or rather more than 2.OOO, 900 tons
of new ships and steamers to be con
structed in addition TO the few already
engaged in such service and others that
might be promptly diverted to such
traffic. Desiring this statement TO be
extremely conservative, we estimate
only on basis of 1000. 900 of new ton
mage required, whereas Capt William
w. Bates, in his work on the american
Marine" PIP 1910, estimates that to
transact and carry as per cent. of the
