GRADING Of NEW
RESERVOIR SITE
Machine Removing
From SO to 90 Cubic Yards
of Dirt Daily
WILL TAKE ONE HUNDRED DAYS

jeremiah T. Finch. OF Glenn Fails.
New York, who has the contract to con-
struct the new reservoir for the Water
Department, started the grading work
on the Weldiu farm. the site where the
structure is to be erected. last Satur-
day. There have been a large number
Of visitors since the grading started,
as the most modern grading machinery
is being used and the work IS conse-
quently very interesting to spectators.
Those who have visited the sight
were greatly surprised to see how fast
the grading and the removal of the
earth is done. The grading machine
is operated by a traction engine, which
move along ploughing up a furrow of
earth about two feet wide and one foot
deep.
The machine throws the dirt on a
conveyer which takes IL up about nine
feet in the air and dumps it into a
modern grading wagon. These wagons
follow the machine and as fast as one
is loaded another one takes its place
under the conveyer. 1t fakes but thirty
seconds 10 load a wagon or two every
one minute. There is one cubic foot OF
earth to q wagon.
Inc dirt IS taken in these carts oi
wagons to the dumps and the drivers
without stopping simply pull n lever
and the bottom OF the wagon drops out
dumping the dirt. This earth later will
be used for surfacing.
When it is taken into consideration
the fact that it requires a wagon but
thirty seconds to get loaded, some idea
can be gained Of the large amount OF
earth removed each day. which is esti.
mated at from 500 TO 1000 cubic yards
a day. There are between so and 81
thousand cubic yards TO be removed
and therefore the grading viii take II
the neighborhood of 100 days.
The only other work I'm addition e
the grading TO be done before mex
spring is the building of a wier towei
or gate house. This will be used e

Escaped From Their
Burning Dwelling lust
AS the Roof Fell In.
Fire Threatened to De-
strOy a Block When
Hand Pumps Gave Out
Special to The Evening Journal.

Camden, Nov. "A fire which threat
ened to destroy block of property in
this town occurred early this morning
It started in the double dwelling owned
by c. w. Lord. one side of which was
occupied by Mr.. shockley and his
family.
Mr.. Shocley was awakened by smoke
and arousing his wife and children they
ran from the building just as the roof
fell in. Had they been a minute or so
later they would no doubt have been
cremated. The family did not have time
TO save any of their effects, even their
clothing being lost.
The other side Of the double dwell
ing was vacated yesterday and the
hues being left open it is supposed that
sparks from a stove in the Shockley
portion fell therein and ignited the
noor. The fire was discovered at 1890
o'clock and it had evidently been
smouldering for several hours.
TOWN PUMPS GAVE OUT.
The members of the Camden Hook
and Ladder Company worked heroically
to save adjoining property and their
efforts were finally rewarded. All of
the families in the imms7'te neighbor-
hood removed their i.nsehold effects
into the street. it being apparent that
the entire block would be destroyed as
the supply Of water from the hand
pumps gave out. Water was secured
from distant portion Of the town. how
ever, and in this primitive manner the
flames were stayed. The loss is placed
at $4,000. with partial insurance.
Mr.. shockley had no insurance on his
effects and the loss is a severe one to
his family and himself
Three months ago the town officials
negotiated with a New York concern to
install light and water plant here
and the matter was before the town
commissioners twice. Both times. how
ever. they voted it down. The citizens
now express the hope that the matter
