To the Hon. Mayor and Board Of
Aldermen:
/ hereby submit to you report on
our Plant as it stands to-day.
We started running our new plant
on March 18th, or part of it. We
operated our steam driven air COM
pressor until March oath, and since
that time we have been operating "a
hours per day. We have been oper-
ating our street lights since Wednes-
day, March 31st, with the exception
of one night on account of line trouble
AS near as can come to it we used
baout sixty tons of coal in March.
The most of this time we ran without
q stack, and have been using cold
water in our boilers, which we are
still doing. j,
AS to our building, we are q good
ways from completion. We have up
one stack and one to raise, which will
take about two days after we get the
stack. We have one more fire wall
to build; fire pump and steam drive
air compressor to move; boiler room
to build; centrifugal pump and heat
er to install.
We have been operating our motor
driven compressor since March 24thi
and we hardly keep up on our water
especially when they run the sprmk-
Ter. / don't think this compressor
will give us enough water this sum-
mer. In fact know it will not.
/ also wish to state to you the con-
dition Of our lines. We will be com
PEELED to repair our lines. They are
in a very bad condition and are get
ting dangerous. 1t keeps me uneasy
at all times. To put our lines IN gooc
condition we will have to have cal
of poles, quite number OF cross
arms, guy wire anchors, insuiator'
and some wire. This we should d.
by all means, for the. safety OF oul
citizens and the general public
Respectfully,
w. A. MCCLURE, Supt. !.
