Pumps were started Oct. 8, 1891, 2.80 P.M., and run till Dec. 8th; they were also run Dec. 22d to the 30th inst., to supply a large part of the city, owing to the failure in the supply of the reservoirs. Its hourly ca- pacity is 154,000 gallons for delivering at reservoir, which is at an elevation of 125 feet above the river, and 13 miles distant from it. The load upon the engine at low water, and with a full Reservoir, is 11,934 pounds.
