NOTE. —I wish to call attention to the arc lamps. The lamps purch"
are no longer manufactured, and haven’t been for past two years. We h
repaired the lamps as best we could, but have been unable to secure n
parts to replace the old. and now have on oar hands 5 burned out arcs.
We have made every effort to secure new parts, and failing I requested the
Chairman of Water and Lights to replace them with a modem make, and I
trust that he now sees the uecessity of doing so, after seeing the last
shipment of repair parts incorrect. 1 wish further to call attention to our
filter. Our filter as designed is inadequate to supply'the quantity of water
used
RECOMMENDATIONS. —I recommend the purchase of 5 arc lamps. I
recommend the purchase of 20 mete s. I recommend the purchase of 2or
3 transformers. I recommend the renewal of filter pipes.
In calling attention to purchase of meters, we have several large custom
ers without meters and we can pay for meters in a short time in the
increased revenue or reduction in fuel.
