Ily thla plan thorn will he a supply et geed

of being quadrupled at euly the cenl of en

high duty attachment the engine maiiufae
tutors guarantee that there will lie 10 r

gine and boilers, besldea owing te favor
able location, the cost of coat will laj about
IU per cent Irs than at thn present works.
Ily iucreasinK thu duty nl thu engine which
thu manufacturer guaranteu can be done by
the preiMjaed alteration, the consumption el
coat will be se lessened that the annual coat
of nieralien aud maintenance (which In

the work proposed by plant Ne. 'i than for
the works which proesu taking the water
down te the present pumping station.
Thn changea from the plau suggested In
my first resirt ter moving the pumping
works, which I new recommend are the
emission of an additional pumping engine at
thu outset, and lb" conversion id thu preeeut
ti-inllllen unglne luten high duty machine,
which can la etlected by the new attachment
designed by Worthlngteu, which he giirau
teea will imu-hi thn engine te pump thu same

Alter conideinlien of all the circum

satisfactory and t lllcimit plan will tie te re
