Besides the rain, terrific gale OF

stead of $500 tons as at present, We
propose to put a new roof over the

the present sugar room so that the in

Pumps, $4,000. Our pumping ca
paclty is about so, ,060, goo gallons of
water in "a hours, which will not fur

required during dry summer months.
We therefore, propose, during the next
two or three years, to increase the
capacity of our Pumps and 3, which
