TANK ALWAYS READY

''In the first place, you have tank
containing 10000 gallons of water
which is at all times available. In the
second place, you have steam-driven
pump of large capacity which is driv-
Ell directly by steam from the boilers,
and is not in any way dependent upon
the steam engines or the oil engine,
or the electrical equipment. The air
compressor for furnishing air for
driving the water from the wells is
also steam driven and independent of
any other piece of apparatus in the
plant. In the third place, you have
the electrically-driven pumping ap-
paratus in the auxiliary plant which
take the electric current directly from
the switchboard, and are therefore
not dependent upon any one piece of
generating apparatus, as they can
be driven either by the 400-hp. steam
engine, the $50 X. w. unit, or the oil
engine, whichever happens to be in
operation at the time these pumps
would be put into service. Your
electric plant runs "a hours a day
and therefore current is always vail
able at the switchboard to operate
the electrically-driven pumping ap-
paratus; steam would always be avail
able to operate the steam-driven
pumping apparatus, and the large
tank will always be filled with water.
s'It is evident therefore that neither
the steam-driven generating units or
the oil-driven units are directly con-
nected to any of the pumping ap-
paratus, and in case of fire, you are
not depending upon the starting of
any one piece of apparatus for cleo
trical supply or for starting the large
pumping engine.
Underwriters in fixing rate for
fire protection on property in your
city take into consideration the entire
means of protection at the city's dis
posal, and not any one piece of ap
paratus. Where the only means of
fire protection depend upon an engine
directly connected to a pump, rates
for insurance are based on these con-
ditions.

WILL Be READY
NEXT WEEK
CITY'S NEW AUXILIARY PUMP
ING PLANT SOON TO BE
PLACED IN SERVICE

The city's new pumping plant will
be placed in service next week, it is
learned. This plant, housed in a
small brick building to itself, COM
prises two air compressors and two
centrifugal pumps, electrically-driven.
Only the air compressors, used to lift
water from the deep wells, will be put
in service for the present, as the
pumps are not needed at this time.
The pumps have capacity of mill
ion gallons. The full auxiliary plant
put in operation has a capacity of a
million and half gallons day, and
can be used to give the city water
supply without the use of the old
plant or the proposed plant. Current
will be obtained from the present
electric plant until the new station is
completed.

GOOD GAME
But a Small Crowd Saw OcaIa Lose
to FruitIand Park


Before very small and disappoint-
ing crowd the 0cala boys lost to
Fruitland Park yesterday afternoon
by score of 2-1, in the first contest
of the season. The fact that the game
was yesterday and not today, when
more of the business men could get
out, probably accounts partly for the
small crowd, but not altogether. The
game was a highly interesting one.
Had our boys received more practice
as team the tale would have been
different. 1t was a pitchers battle
between Martin of Fruitland Park,
and Harris of Ocala, each allowing
but four hits.
Before the game opened Mr.. w.
Austin Bennett, one of the umpires,
made some very complimentary re-
marks about the park, and especially
referred to the faithful work of Mr..
G.. w. Hunter, manager of the 0cala
team. Mr.. Bennett umpired at the
plate, and Mr.. Judd Lloyd at the
bases.
Martin of Fruitland Park made the
first hit of the. game, and the season,
smashing out a two-bagger. Liddell
singled in the same inning. Medlin
and Alsobrook singled in the fourth
and BARLEY in the fifth. j. Chazal
singled in the sixth, as did Alsobrook
in the seventh, and j Chazal again in
the eighth. Harris passed two on
balls, and Martin two. Harris struck
out nine and Martin 10.
The line-ups were as follows:
Fruitland Park: Porter, c; Thomp-
son, If; Merlin, 3b; Saxon, rf; Also
brook, c; Mears, 2b; Carpenter, ID
Martin, p; Bowyer, SIS.

TRE ADVANCING FROM THE DIRECTION OF TRENT ARE DRIVING WEDGE DEEPLY into
NORTHERN ITALY
(AMNdatd dPrmO

London, May 25.-Heavy German
infantry attacks yesterday afternoon
brought about the recapture of Fort
Douaumont, northeast Of Verdun, the
position captured by the Germans on
February 25th and retaken by the
French few days ago. The French,
however, continue to hold the immed-
late approach to Fort Douaumont and
have recaptured the German trenches
near Cumieres village, which the Ger
mans occupied in late fighting.
The latest from the Austro-Italian
front indicates that the Austrians
have driven wedge rather deeply
into Italian territory between the
Aria and Astico valleys, southeast of
Trent. The Italians are admittedly
falling back here, and they now re-
port the concentration Of their forces
in the Arziro valley.
Rome reports the destruction of an
Austrian gunboat and aeroplane in an
an engagement with an Italian gun
boat in the upper Adriatic.
