Fhe reservoir at Rio Piedras will be
empty and the pumps will not be able
to fill them unless the two pumps work
at the same time, which constitutes in
itself danger on account of the bad
condition of the machinery.
If the plant is rot efficient, today
for the present consumption it is clear
that IN eight or ten months from now
when the. sewage system will be COM
pleted and when all the population will
take the water, instead Of forty-eight
per cent. as now, it is clearer that the
plant would be absolutely inefficient.
And what about the construction of the
naval station ?.
Third point, the present plant costs
and will cost excessively dear. The
assistant engineer says that we are
using for the present $1,000 more or
less of coal per year. We have TO add
to this that as the pumps have to work
the twenty four hours Of day we have
to increase the force of the plant be.
cause two nnachinists cannot work
twenty four hours every day. We
have to add another fireman and would
have to repair almost the entire plant
In conclusion the PRESENT WATER
WORKS ARE NOT PERMANENT,
ARE INEFFICIENT AND COST
TOO MUCH.
Ths Munisi sipal Council asks me the
cause of all of these defects, and
state that these causes are very simple.
The first one is the false economy
which has presided over fhe eonstrnc,

Planters say that the cotton crop is a fair
ly good one and may turn out a yield up to
the average.

cotton trade Of Memphis, Mobile and New
Orleans by any other way than at the ex-
pense Of MissisEppi.-vioksbur Democrat.

an opinion that Election Commissioner are
entitled TO So a day for revising the registra-
ton books preparatory to holding a primary
election, and that this to be paid out Of the
county treasury as would be the case were a
regular election to be held.
Auditor Cole has issued abatement show
ing the condition Of the banks in Mississippi.
The statement is comparative, giving the
figures fer the first half of 1902, and for the
same period in 1901, and shows a net in
crease in the resources of $500, 544 II.
The statement also shows that there are
twelve new banks in operation since the last
statement was made, or during the past
twelve months.
Auditor Cole is now convinced that his
figures on the increase in the assessment Of
the state this year were short Of the actual
amount. Mr.. Cole gave the opinion that
the new rolls being made up would show an
increase in the valuation of the property Of
the state of from ten to twelve millions o.
dollars. Mr.. Cole has been watching the
assessment figures through the newspaper
and now feels certain that the increa,e will
pass the twelve million mark.
