Coal Consumed 246 Tons
Used for street lights 8,472 K.W.
Used Pumping Water 35,400 K.W.
The New Turbine has been operation since Saturday morning, and has performed satisfactorily, it is yet to be painted, the piping lagged, and platform railing installed, when the same will be complete. It has performed excellent in all respects, and the small changes made today, were for safety in future operation.
Work has progressed on the street work, but were held up today on the account of the failure of our old steam roller. Would strongly advise trading this roller in on a gas roller, as always work is delayed when using our old one, and it takes special men to handle it as quite an expense.
