was ordered now it probably would not
be delivered before the spring of 1919
and would not be ready for operation
before the winter of the same year.
He estimates the cost of an addition

$4,000 and $4,000 and Of course this
cost would not have to be met until
the equipment had been installed.
The plants water supply even now
Is inadequate and what is available is
Of poor quality because there is no way
