Other improvements are to be

The waterworks pumping station
has been receiving a general over

and Supt. Psyton reports that
many Improvements have been
made, putting the plant in much
better conoition. Among the inn
provements are duplicate steam
line from the boilers to the pumps
and duplicate feed line from the
boiler feed line pumps.
The only work remaining to be
done is building of ''sump' or
reservoir to receive the water from
the river. This will be in form of
big well, twelve feet in diameter
and water will flow by the force of
gravity directly from the river to
it, the object being to avoid the
large amount of sand and sedi-
ment that is pumped when the
water is drawn directly from the
river. This work will be done as
soon as the river falls sufficiently.
