BURLINGTON RAILWAY DONATES
PUMP WHICH WILL BE IN
OPERATION TOMORROW,
PARTIAL WATER SUPPLY
Pump Will Be Connected With Hy.
drant at Corner of Church and Moore
Streets-WiIl Be Used Until Pipe
Line From River Is Completed.

From Mondays Daily.
A pump with capacity OF half a
million gallons a day will be connect.
ed with a hydrant at the corner OF
Moore and Church streets tomorrow
and water for the low surface dis
tricts will be supplied in this manner.
This will be a temporary means OF
supplying the water until the pump IS
installed on the river bank below the
red house and the pipe line to the
race is completed. This was decid-
ed upon yesterday at conference be-
tween Superintendent Winans of the
water plant and Mayor Piclsler, Alder
man Keyhoe and Alderman Hoglund.
The latter on behalf of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway Co., Of
fered the services of the pump to pro.
vide temporary relief.
Must Use Economy.
The capacity of the pump and the
pressure it will provide however, will
not insure water for any but the
down town and other low points in the
city and this in but meagre quantities.
The usual consumption is from six to
seven times this amount SO it will be
seen that great economy must be used.
When the pipe line from the river is
completed the South Side pump line
will be discontinued.
May Run Galvanized Pipe.
| Superintendent Winans announced
today that the pump to be put in on
the river bank below the red house will
be operated by electricity. The pump
will be here in few days. Four hum
idred feet of ten-inch cast iron pipe has
been ordered from Chicago and this
will also be here within a few days.
IT il is net possible. to secure this at an
! early date Superintendent Winans
states he will run a galvanized pipe
line from the river to the cas- there
will be but little pressure TO the water.
Conditions Will Improve.
Tomorrow with the pump in South

i the down town districts will improve.
