The rain as measured on "Wednesday amounted to 60 of an inch. making a total for the storm of 2.33 inches, the largest rainfall in some time. It had a marked effect upon the reservoirs and placed many days supply there in with more to come. On Wednes- day afternoon the measurment show ed the water to have risen eleven inches at Fairview since Tuesday, it being now 286 inches below highwater mark. or almost six feet gain since it began to rise. There is 24 inch stream pouring in from Meadow brook, in which pond there is more water than there has been in many months. The measurement shows that the in crease there was as great as at Fair view. or II inches, it being 27 inches above the 24-inch pipe flowing into FafrvieW. This represents a big body of water in that basin and 1t is being carried into F'airview as fast as the large pipe will deliver it. so that for several days quite a gain can be look ed for, and thereafter it can be ex- pected to hold it's own for a few days.

 Inspected Pumping Station.
 John T. Queeney of the General Electric company was in Norwich on Wednesday to inspect the installation of the pumping station at Trading cove. He was questioned In regard to the use of motor driven pumps and said that the Norwich installation was a typical one. It is usually customary to pump the water directly into the city mains, but q system similar to that installed in Norwich is operated in Cambridge, Mass Regarding the size of the motors, he stated that it was desirable to have them run at near their full capacity, as this gives greater economy in the use of the cur rent The horse power has been care fully measured and the size recom- mended by the General Electric com pany has been purchased. The com pany is ready to exchange these motor. in case q different size Is considered desirable MT Queeney left town Wed nesday evening and will return wher the plant is rut into commission.
