Want an Electric Plant.
After a months rigid investigation
of the mechanical work attendant up
on the installation of the new west-end
sewer and pumping station, Councilman
Lewis and Walton last night recon-
mended the installation of electrically
driven pumps instead of the proposed
steam power. The contract, which is
being prosecuted by Green & Sons Co,
is now nearing that stage of compile
ton when the installation of the pumps
and other machinery will be neces-
sary and the council feared that the
Green company had already made ad-
vances toward the steam pump manu-
facturers. 1.-THE installation of cleo
trical machinery will save US a good
percentage in the operating depart
ment, and as the efficiency is also in
creased there is no reason whatever
why we should install a steam pump
plant" said Mr. Lewis, in explanation
of his contention. The original plan
of the council was to install one 5000
auxiliary and one large $4,000 gallon
steam pump, but under the new plans
four 10000 gallon sewage pumps will
be purchased and set in the new pump
ing station.
