WATER COMPANY REOR6ANIzED.
For several years past the water supply
of Havre de Grace has been far from sat-
isfactory to the majority presidents, and
recently the Mayor and City Council
took the matter up. Notice was served
on the water company that the terms of
its contract were not being fulfilled, and
unless action was taken by it in 80 days
to better the supply negotiations would
be entered into to procure a satisfactory
supply. The result of this was a reorgani-
cation of the water company this week.
Charles S. Hinchman, of Philadelphia,
was practically the owner of the COM
pany. But with the reorganization the
controlling interest passes to George w.
Albaugh, of Westminster, Maryland,
who is also owner of the waterworks of
that town. The capital of the company
will be considerably increased. Thepres-
ent capital involvedis SIS. 900 and bonds
to the amount of $4,000.
1t is the intention to put in new pump
ing machinery, new eight-inch pipe and
make various othcrimprovements. Work
on the improvements will be commenced
on Monday. The water supply has never
been taken from the reservoir as original
ly intended. Years ago when the reser-
voir was completedit was found the pipes
would not stand the pressure required to
pump the water into it. This is mainly
the reason the supply has been so un
satisfactory, because when taken directly
from the river during freshets the water
is muddy and unfit for use. tits now the
intention to keep supply of 100000
gallons in the reservoir, and draw on this
during the freshets in the river. The new
pumping machinery will be capable of
pumping nearly 100000 gallons per
day.-SUN.
