In regard to the pumping record I wish to say that there have been twenty-six days during the season when we have pumped the gallery dry, admitting air to the pumps. In addition to the above on thirty-eight days we have left only a few inches of water in the well.
There were times this season when the gallery was low that the consumption seemed to be unnecessarily large. During these times we were compelled to run the pumps night and day, and while so doing we could run them only at a very slow speed as we could not get a sufficient quantity of water from the gallery. .
In being compelled to run so slowly, we could not get an accurate account of the gallons pumped as our counter will not register when the pumps run at a slow speed. On this account I consider the report of gallons pumped only an approximate one.
There have been times through the middle of the day this season when our stand pipe was but partly full and the gallery was practically exhausted.
If we should be unfortunate enough to have a large fire or a burst in our mains, or for any other reason we should lose a large quantity of water it would leave us in very bad shape. It would take a long time to make up for the loss, as the water from the springs flows into the gallery very slowly during the low water or dry season.
12 INCH SUCTION TO LITTLE POND.
There has been a twelve inch suction main extended into Little- Pond to be used in case of fire, not having any connection with the gallery but to be connected with the pumps, (see engraving of suction main and proposed connection to pumps).
The pipe has a strainer or crib on the end, which is suspended. . in about mid-water; it is four feet from the lowest water line of this season to the top of the inner strainer, it is also three feet from the bottom inlet of strainer to bottom of pond; there is outside of strainer a large crib of galvanized iron wire netting, } in. mesh to prevent any small substance from getting into suction main. I believe the suction main will be of great advantage if an
149
emergency should arise. It seems to me that it would be well to look into the matter of extending the present gallery or making some provision for a larger supply of spring water such as we now supply.
There are many ways in which this could be done. It could be done by making another gallery north of the present one.
It might be done by driving artesian wells in the present gallery or on the outside of the same.
I think the latter would be an unsatisfactory way of getting more water, as we would not know the quality we should get.
I think the best way to get a better supply of water and to be sure of getting the same quality as we now have is to extend the present gallery at the northerly end where springs appear most abundant. My reason for bringing this subject up before you is this. I understand that the majority of the people in our town are determined on using nothing else but the spring water or in other words the water from the gallery. In order to carry out the desire of the public, there should be something done to procure a larger storage of spring water for the dry season.
If not, we will be compelled to run the pumps night and day, or to admit the water from Little Pond.
Running all night adds greatly to the cost of pumping as we must run at a slow speed, with the same cost for labor, and practically the same for fuel.
Extremely slow running is also detrimental, as our lift of water is always changing and it is impossible to adjust our pumps to a nice running point.
PUMPS.
I would recommend the overhauling of the compound pump, as there are several parts of it which need repairing. I took the low pressure pistons out this summer and found them dropped down so as to allow the steam to leak by. I have every reason to believe that the high pressure pistons also need adjusting .. I found during the season that the compound pump would break the springs on the water valves as fast as they could be renewed.
150
It is an old result, as it has happened ever since the pumps were first started. We have placed a new set of springs of a different style, with new bolts, and find them giving the best of satisfaction.
HYDRANTS.
We have taken out and replaced six of the Coffin Valve Com- pany's hydrants that were leaking badly. We have also taken out one of the Whittier Machine Company's hydrants and re- placed it with one of the Coffin Valve Company's improved. There are still some few hydrants which need attention when the proper time comes.
We are using a better grade of Coffin hydrants than ever before used. It is termed the Improved Coffin hydrant. I believe it is far superior to the old style.
GATES.
In looking over the pipe lines and operating a number of the- gates I found it necessary to repack a number of them.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The scales formerly used in the coal bin have been placed at the entrance of the fire room, the ground was excavated and scales placed in a frame set flush with the floor.
We have also built a rack in the storeroom for pipe, fittings, etc ..
There have been electric lights put into the pumping station, which are of great convenience.
The building was painted on the inside in a thorough manner ;" the woodwork on the outside was painted two coats.
The lawn has been graded and sown down in grass and there have been vines set out to ornament the building.
There has been an iron manhole cover placed over well at right of entrance to pumping station, as the old one was decayed and unsafe.
There has been a furnace purchased for melting lead used on main pipe extensions, also a tripod derrick to be used in pipe. laying, setting hydrants, etc.
151
PUMPING STATION.
The building is in very good condition, except some of the floor , timbers of engine room, which should be replaced.
STAND PIPE.
There were a few small repairs required early this spring. The ice had broken off the braces holding the upper end of overflow pipe-this repairing was all done in a thorough manner. The stand pipe is in fairly good condition, still, as a matter of economy, it should be calked in a few places and painted inside and out one coat. I believe one coat of paint once in two or three years is better than two coats once in seven years.
It seems to me if the scrubs and straggly trees were removed from the stand pipe lot it would improve the general appearance, also there should be something done to prevent the dumping of rubbish upon and around said lot.
DAMPER REGULATOR.
I wish to call your attention to the necessity of an automatic "damper regulator. It would be a great saving of fuel ; it would add to the life of the boilers, as it would not be necessary to be opening and closing the draft door, admitting the cold air and causing a certain amount of contraction, which is very detrimental. I have received a letter from Locke Brothers agreeing to save us 10 per cent. of fuel with their machine, and offering it on four months' trial, and further agree to give us the best article they make, put up all complete to our satisfaction, for a very small sum.
I would also recommend the placing of a recording guage in our pumping station. If there should ever arise a ques- tion as to how much pressure we had on any certain date during the day or night, we could not answer it, unless by chance some one happened to be at the pumping station. These recording gages are necessary for a complete record of pumping and water consumption. I am satisfied that if we had one during the past season we would have had an opportunity to ·see when there had been hydrants opened without permission,

through the day or night. I think it would be one of the most beneficial additions we could make to the engine room, the card taken from this recording gage would be placed on file, making a true record ready for reference at all times.
LEAKAGE ON MAINS AND SERVICES.
There have been 8 leaks on mains during the year and 7 leaks on service pipes. I think that the use of lead services and Chap- man stop and waste valves should be encouraged, as an advantage to the consumer and to the system. .
I have stated here, as far as I can see, the exact state of the system at the present time and such improvements as I think . beneficial or necessary for the future. I have endeavored to ac- . quaint myself with the history of the plant for better understand- ing the growing needs due to increased water consumption. I .consider that a thorough understanding of the work is due to the townspeople who are interested, and their personal investigation is cordially invited in such matters as are not fully set forth in this report. Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM E. MAYBURY,
Superintendent.
