The board of water commissioners
has purchased a 5000 electric valve to
be placed at the water tower. The

direct pressure in case of fire, etc.
The use of the continuance is said to
effect considerable saving in fuel
and also wear and tear on the pumps.

occasion of this sort and he therefore
lacked experience; nevertheless, he
created a good impression and from
all accounts has the making of an ex-
cellent man. The press reports of the
bout say that Mccullough has ''long
reach" and a wicked left, )" but failed
to embrace his opportunities.
