FOUND THAT PUMP
Is NOT ADEQUATE
Old Device Is Tested by Com
missioners but Fails to
Show Sufficient Force.
NEED A NEW MACHINE
Council Believes Expense of $500 for
Repairing Old Equipment at Wa
terworks Would Be Useless.

Mayor II. NJ. Schriver and the city
commissioners yesterday afternoon
made a trip to the pumping station,
where they inspected the old pump,
which was thought TO be sufficiently
able to take care of the city's needs
in case the present pump sustained a
breakdown.
The commissioners, however, found
that the old equipment was weak, not
sufficiently powerful to pump the wa
ter to the tank from where IL was fill
tered. The old conuivance broke down
after it had been in operation about
one-half hour
II was also learned by the commits
sioners that by going TO the expense
of $500 the old device could be repair
ed. However, as it was not powerful
enough, the commissioners thought
that to have the old pump fixed would
be a useless expenditure of money.
The problem which now faces the
commission is TO get new pump. TO
be held in reserve should that used at
present ever sustain a breakdown. In
the appropriation bill there was no
provision for new device and there
is not sufficient funds in the allotment
for the waterworks so that a pump
could be purchased

orders that any mixer who uses harsh
language toward a COW will be imme-

utilitarian aim, in that harsh words are
