The Company reports t ha t since t h i s pump was instal led, between 20,000 and %,OOO per hour have been pumped as necessity arose, and tha t the dai ly gallonage pumped has been from 500,000 t o 655,000 since the dete of instal la t ion.

(3) The Company has given us the following commitment with regard t o i t s future development:

"As t o t he future: return, when we w i l l be having tests of our Wells, mEde by competent outside experts, and when the capacity is determined, we w i l l have pumps constructed up t o a mjnimum of 1,OOO,OOO gallons per day and as much more as is found t o be possible. us t ha t a t l ea s t 750 gallons per minute can easi ly be obtained. propose enlarging our pumping capacity from our reservoir t o t h e lower tanks on the h i l l and a l so enlarge our booster pump t o the tank a t Johnston and North B l u f f Roeds. This pump, we believe, should have a capacity of not less than 250 gallons per minute. 'I'he capacity of our main pumps, we think, should rehch 600 t o 650 g d l o n s per minute.

capacities required before ins ta l la t ions are made, but I wish t o assure you t ha t the water supply and pumping machinery w i l l receive our first consideration in the enlarging of our en t i r e plant and system as all other iroprovements must be dependent on the quantity of water we can obtain and pump t o the higher level.

we are in constant consultation Kith our engineers who ore eminently competent and have the confidence of the Public U t i l i t i e s Commission, end they are a t present preparing a report f o r us, in which suggestions f o r improving our system are being put forth. point t o be decided on i n the upper par t of t h i s community. be of, a t the very l ea s t , 1,OOO,OOO gallons, m d t h i s with increased pumping capacity w i l l , they believe, be of immense benefit i n overcoming some of our d i f f i cu l t i e s .
