To the Honorable Board of Trustees, City of Anaheim, Cal. Gentlemen: In compliance with your request, I beg leave to present the following report relating to enlargements and improvements of the water and electric light and power systems of your city. The condition of the plant, with the exception of the water tank towers, is good. The arrangement of the machinery is very undesirable, however, and the types of engines very uneconomical in steam and fuel consumption. The water tank towers are in very bad repair, and should be replaced at once. The storage capacity of the tanks is too small, and the elevation of the tanks not enough to give good pressure. I would advise the erection of a steel tank of about 200,000 gallons capacity, upon a steel tower high enough to give a 50-foot head, as a minimum. The consumption of water will undoubtedly increase with a better pressure, and the increased capacity for storage will not only take care of this increase, but will be sufficient so as not to necessitate beginning pump-engines. The Sterling have its steam drums some good non-conduit and its furnace rearrangement of air. This will result in a substantial fuel, as shown in the flow. The water level in the been lowered beyond tance for maintaining. The present pump wasteful of steam. A conducted on June 22th consumption of more than of steam per one delivered lifted water. The plan to provide for adding for all time to control the present pit about its present depth. The connected up to the pump, and also to a new vertical, centrifugal pump should be especially for the work it has to do, guaranteed efficiency over per cent. The pump by direct connection to Induction Motor. Until the increased makes the full power of motors necessary, they cost for some years as single chines. This would require remodeling the distem. Such remodeling changing the old low low efficiency small sizeers, replacing several modeling secondaries in a tub transformer for a series arc light good pressure. I would advise the erection of a steel tank of about 200,000 gallons capacity, upon a steel tower high enough to give a 50-foot head, as a minimum. The consumption of water will undoubtedly increase with a better pressure, and the increased capacity for storage will not only take care of this increase, but will be sufficient so as not to necessitate beginning pumping before it is required to generate electricity, as is necessary now. This will make a more even distribution of the load and a more economical use of fuel. This new tank should be placed as close as possible to the well pit to prevent friction in the pump discharge pipe. The best location is west of the well pit. The most satisfactory engines for your plant are two compound, high speed, non-condensing engines, each directly connected to a 60 cycle, 3 phase, 2200 volt generator. They should have a guaranteed steam consumption of not more than 23½ per cent of steam per indicated H.P. at their rated capacity. The location of the engine room should be in front of, instead of behind the boilers, as at present. A neat brick engine house, either plastered or unplastered inside or out, about 35 feet wide and 65 feet long, of a style agreeable to the City, may be constructed to cover the well pit or a circular wing. The north wall of this house should be about 12 feet from the face of the boilers. A door in this wall would then make it possible to observe the boiler and engine room from one position. This would place all of the important apparatus always in the view of the station man, which is a very desirable condition. The present steam piping is improperly arranged, and should be changed and steam separators introduced to furnish dry steam to the Market N, Prop. sh and Salted ausage, Lard Telenhone Main 5 BRO'S.

Royal is the greatest of bake-day h ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. The Sterling boiler should be its steam drums lagged with the good non-conductor of heat, its furnace re-arranged for the emission of air. These changes result in a substantial saving of water as shown in the figures to follow. The water level in the wells has lowered beyond the safe discharge for maintaining a vacuum. The present pump is also very useful of steam. A test that I conducted on June 22nd showed a滴ption of more than 100 lbs. Steam per one delivered H. P. of oil water. The most advisable way to provide for adequate pumping at all time to come is to sink present pit about 27 feet below present depth. The wells to be erected up to the present Dean pump, and also to a new two-stage, dual, centrifugal pump. This would be especially designed for work it has to do, and have a guaranteed efficiency of at least 75 percent. The pump to be driven straight connection to a 30 H. P. action Motor. Until the increased lighting load was the full power of the genera-necessary, they could be used some years as single phase machines. This would reduce the cost remodeling the distributing system. Such remodeling will include aging the old low voltage and efficiency small sized transform-replacing several by one, realizing secondaries and putting tub transformer or regulator series arc light system, purifying lines. will be remedied by the proposed changes. To summarize the points at which saving of fuel will be made: Better arrangement of boiler furnace; preventing radiation from boilers; changing steam piping; more efficient engines and pumps; reducing losses in electrical distribution. The system will give better water and electrical service and allow for a large increase in both, providing amply for several years to come. The pumping should normally be done by the centrifugal pump. This will raise water at much lower cost than it is done at present. The Dean pump will remain as an auxiliary pump for fire purposes and other emergencies. The fact of the Dean pump being always in readiness in case of fire, and the added storage capacity at a greater head, will undoubtedly reduce fire insurance rates. The following is the approximate cost of the needed improvements: New engine and generators, erected... $9500 00 Steel water tank and tower. 8000 00 Switch board and wiring... 500 00 Deepening well pit... 1000 00 Pump... 500 00 Induction motor... 600 00 Altering electrical distributing system, including new arc lamps and new transformers... 8000 00 Altering and enlarging water distributing system... 5000 00 Changing steam pipe and furnaces and installing steam separators... 500 00 Removing present plant... 500 00 some years as single phase masses. This would reduce the cost remodeling the distributing systems. Such remodeling will include giving the old low voltage and efficiency small sized transformreplacing several by one, relining secondaries and putting a tub transformer or regulator series arc light system, pursing series arcs and doing away with the present small transformer the old parallel arcs. Equalize and increase the wapressure, a second six inch main be run from the tank west express street and then south on on street. This could supply western part of town and add to supply in the southern part. It also lessen the demand upon present system, and so better service in all parts of the city. The plant for which the estimate will supply twice the elecry and twice the water now be consumed by the city, the water pumped at night only. With the pumping service, the amount need can be doubled again. The present pump and boiler agement, the cost of raising waabout 1½ cents per 1000 gallor fuel. The fuel for generatelectricity is about 4½ c per K. our. With the plant outlined, fuel consumption will be reducnot more than half of that at nt. With the price of oil at barrel, the cost of operating reduced fully $1200 per year. With the present large consumpof steam, the feed water heater large enough to give good reThe water has to pass through it too rapidly to be purified boroughly as it could.

WORK OF RECLAMATION Government Engineers Busy With Plans and Specifications WASHINGTON, July 14.—The work of the engineers and experts of the Reclamation Service in California is being pushed. Owing to unprecedented floods in the Gila River and WASHINGTON, July 14.—The work of the engineers and experts of the Reclamation Service in California is being pushed. Owing to unprecedented floods in the Gila River and the Lower Colorado, field work on the Yuma project was suspended early in the spring, but surveys and other field work had reached a point where it was possible to work on plans and specifications and complete the right-of-way negotiations. Right-of-way maps have been prepared for the east side canal, Yuma Valley, and a portion of the west side canal and about eighteen miles of Yuma Valley dike. A special study has been made of the proposition to install pumps for lifting water to about twenty-eight thousand acres of mesa lands southeast of Yuma. The farm unit on this mesa probably will not exceed forty acres, on account of the possibilities of intensive cultivation. Plans and specifications have been prepared for a stone-carrying barge, with a pile driver and machinery to be used for river rectification work. In Imperial valley water measurements are being made at the point of diversion from Colorado River to the canals of the California Development Company; also at the second crossing of the international boun-
