been completed. This makes an ex.
-traordinary, improvement over the old

amount of water consumed by the en-,
gines passes through the yard that

mately 100000 gallons a day. 1t is
readily seen then that the pump is
never worked to more than one.fourth
its capacity. The reason fr installing
a pump with such a capacity is not

that the moderate running Of the ma
