Johnson and Foraker, and is now running
| The old pump with an original capa'

with capacity of Is gallons and these

1 594 gallons in hours and 81 minutes.
The new electric pump throwing $50
gallons per minute, can alone fill the
standpipe in hours and 1852 minutes,
or, aided by the little pump, in 8 hours
and 47.40 minutes.

Whitlock has saved the town the cost of

for he has made his promise good, that
he was able to do the job in scientific

employed in behalf of the town, he
merits the thanks of the citizens.
These various steps of the Light and
Water Board in carrying out their whole
new policy have been taken pursuant to
the advice of Mr.. Tracy an expert
engineer and if the result should prove
a disappointment, theirs will not be the
blame. 1t is hoped the new pump will
be success in every way-effective and
economical. We understand it is attach

Other towns have such things and it is q
serious drawback to our town that for the
