Casey-Hedge water tube boilers of
the Heine type, with capacity of
300 horse power each Each boiler Is
equipped with Foster super-heaters.
Sufficient space has been reserved in
this room to put in two other boilers
of similar horse power In this room
are also being placed two large boiler
feeding pumps made by the Worth
ington Pump Co., and feed water
heater made by the Wheeler Con-
denser Co. When the plant is all

room, which is 55 feet long, and the
ceiling of which is of steel re-enforc-
ed concrete, will be installed within
the next sixty days Deane triplex
pump, electrically driven, with capa-
city of seyenty-five thousand gallons
an hour. This will pump the water
for the city. Close by will be a steam
driven EXETER for magnetizing the
dynamos in starting, and two of the
latest Wheeler condensors, discharg-
ing into hot well.
On the second floor will be the
plant for furnishing electric lights
and power to the city and the general
public. Two 500 kilowatt Westing-
house Parson tubines, equal to 1000
electrical horse power, with an over
load capacity of fifty per cent. making
a maximum capacity of 1900 electric

gle LIBRARY
is PROGRESSING
Will Likely Be Ready in
Sixty Days.

Practically all of the brick and
stone work for the new Carnegie Lii
brary was completed yesterday. The
roof is framed, and all in all the struc-
ture is beginning to take on a some
what finished appearance
In front two columns, with orna-
mental caps, adorn the entrance,
while fancy wreaths decorate the stone
work.
BY the middle of January 1t is ex-
pected that all of the exterior work
viii be done, and in another month
the whole building will be ready.
There will then only remain the item
of furnishings to make the library
ready for occupancy. Early in the
spring it is not too much to expect
that the library can be opened.
An example in speed has been set
by the contractors, Messrs. Little &
Phillips, who have pushed the work
from the very start A few minor de-
lays have occurred which will put off
the final day little longer than the
contractors anticipated, yet-even with
that the rapidity with which the struc-
ture has gone up has been highly
gratifying to the board of trustees of
the library and to the people generally
who have watched its progress.
