liable to kerf1ummuz at any time.
While this engine was intended to do
coarse work, it has some very fine
parts, which if they are broken can't
be duplicated except by the factory.
And the factory, on account of the
dispute with the city, won't furnish
any new parts. The engine runs very
badly. A Star reporter, at the plant
the other day, watched the dials on
the switchboard which indicated the
volume of current created by the en-
CINE. The hands on the dials were
never steady, but wavered up and
down. Current thus fed into the wires
is detrimental to the lamps and all
electrical apparatus in the city. The
big steam engine is yet out Of COM

pect of it's soon being back in. The
main dependence of the plant is the
little Harrisburg steam engine, which
is not strong enough to carry the

taking one of the engines out of the
old plant and setting it up under a
temporary shed alongside the new,
where it can take steam from the new
plants boilers. 1t will look like a
wart, but it will do the work. The
council contemplates, so we are told,
requesting the DeLaVergne company
to take its engine out of the plant,
and we guess that it will be just as
well. We believe the engine would
do good work if an engineer could be
found who thoroughly understood it.
and if he could obtain the proper fuel
and parts needed to keep it in repair
The combination seems to be unob-
tainable, and it is no use to throw
good money after bad. 1t is probable
that all three of the city's old engines
will be put up in the new plant, and
the quicker they are there the better
for they are dependable, even if they
are old fashioned.
