The Corn Factory Water System

The Burnham i Morrill, Co. have their
water system for use at their corn can
ming factory well toward completion.
For the boilers water is taken from the
river. A pumping station has been built
on the bank of the river just below the
railroad bridge. A pump driven oy
gasoline engine takes the water from the
river and pumps it through two-inch
pipe laid on the surface of the ground
| into a tank near the factory. This tank,
which stands on tower, Is of hard pine,
and holds 1000 gallons.
For the other uses of the factory water
is obtained from well on the lot OF
Percy NJ. Walker just below his house
on Gary Street. A bountiful supply Of
| excellent water flows into the bottom OF
this we'll, which is less than ten feet deep.
1t is high enough so that the water will
flow from it to the factory. A pipe to
carry this has been laid on the surface
except where it crosses travelled ways, as
the time was rather limited to lay deep
pipe.
As soon as the system is complete the
work of canning corn will begin, which
lit is thought will be about Tuesday
morning. This 10 considerably earlier
than canning began last year, and rather
earlier than the average, but the corn IL
coming along fast, and Is said to be look
ling very well In general.

The people of South Paris. who are
badly dissatisfied with the service of the
Norway company under the best of con-
ditions, are in state of mind bordering
on evaporation as the result of this fire.
WHAT Mr.. ANDREWS SAYS.
S. D. Andrews, the president and
superintendent of the Norway Water
Co., was seen by the Democrat few
hours after the fire. Asked regarding
the conversation with Mr.. Bowker, he
said.
"Our talk was very short. I told Mr..
Bowker that we couldn't do anything
from the Norway end of the system
that we didn't have anything there.
There was very little water in the
reservoir, but not enough to amount to
anything. 1t wouldn't have lasted over
ten or fifteen minutes, and it would have
been no use to put it on"
"What was said about the new reser.
voir in PARISH"
81 don't remember just what wa,
said, but had previously told him thai
he could have the water turned on from
there on his own responsibility. w,
don't know but the water in that il al
right, but with the experience I have
had, 1 told him that l shouldn't order i
turned on"
"Were the pumps running?"
"Very slowly. We find that th,
pump cylinders are badly cut, and leal
badly, so that 1t is possible to pump onl!
little water. We had hoped to be abl
to keep a full supply, but find we Cal
not. We hope to pump enough TO
domestic use."
"Whst depth Of water is there in tn
reservoir when it is full?"
Seventeen feet, and when full 1t hold
half a million gallons, but the sides ar
long slope, and 1t 10 very small at tn
bottom"
"And you think the supply In tn
reservoir would have lasted perhap
. fifteen minutes for-flre purposesP"
"Not more than that"

that we have personally inspected
the dam at the city lake, and have
carefully gone over the plans and
estimates Of Walter c. Dean. and we
unhesitatingly recommend that the
improvements outlined by Mr.. Dean
and hereto attached be made.
We are confident that by making
the improvements as herein outlined
that the said dam will need no fur.
ther repairs and will stand as long as
time lasts A smaller amount of mon
ey could be probably used in fixing
said dam; but taking into considera-
ton the tremendous Importance OF
the city lake TO the city. and realiz.
ing the fearful consequence II any.
thing should happen to said dam. we.
therefore, think 1t is the safest and
wisest course for the city TO fix the
same as there will be no possibility
of its giving away in the future.
