Find Pump With Two Connections.

They visited one of the larger water
boats in the harbor and were told by
the captain that his vessel carried 3.00
gallons Of water and that the water was
obtained from the city mains. Most of
the vessels supplied by him and other
water boats. he said. were schooners
and tramp steamers, larger vessels usu-
ally taking water direct from the wharves
at which they lie.
But the pump used on these water
boats, the investigators discovered, has
two connections. one with the tanks and
the other with the river water. SO fitted
with valves that it can be employed to
pump water out Of the tanks or pump
water from overheard to wash the decks.
This connection with the river makes
1t easy to pump water directly into a

the procedure on many Of the twenty-fv
small boats in the harbor which supply
water.
DR.. Simpson reported that the city
authorities have no jurisdiction beyond
the end Of the piers and that the control
of the state ends in midriver.
