ELECTRIC PUMPS WORKING.
Two Two Hundred and Fifty Gallon
Pumps Now Operating-Sewer Line
Completed.

The two new electric pumps which
were ordered several months ago and
which the City Manager has been busy
installing for the past few weeks are
now working regularly and seemingly
giving good service. The pumps are
capable Of giving $50 gallons of wa
ter a minute each, which is somewhat
more than the city uses.
The pumps were first operated Sat
urday and have been operated off and
on ever since until Tuesday, when
they were set to work regularly. A
number Of stops and adjustn. ents had
to be made in the interval in order to
get them in good working trim.
The pumps are connected with the
six new wells and are being connected
up with the two deep old wells and
will be connected up with other of
the old wells later on. There is no
meter on them at present and their
yield of water cannot be estimated
anywhere correctly, but a meter will
be attached in the near future and
the amount of water furnished by the
pumps measured. The installation of
the new pumps is a great innovation
for the city ana it is hoped by their
use for the city to save hundreds Of
dollars every year which is now spent
for the hauling of coal from one side
of the city to the water works plant
The sewer line which has been III
progress on Oakland avenue for the
past two weeks has been practically
completed, the workmen being engag-
ed in putting in the flush tank Tues
day. The sewer line is an extension
OF the former line on that street and
has several times been petitioned for
by the residents Of that street, but it
is only recently that the city has
had the funds and the opportunity to
do this work. The sewer line is much
needed and no doubt many cOnnec-
tions will be made with it i'm the near
future.
