Bath, Feb. 21.---Another sad death occurred near Bath waen James Henry Doyle passed peace- fully away on Feb. 12th, after being confined to his home nearly a year with pernicious anaemia and other ailments. He was a patient sufferer and his end was peace. The deceas- ed was born on Jan. 28th, 1861, and was married on Feb. 20th, 1395, to Nell's May Smith, Westbrook. He was the ocidest son of Mr. and Mrs. James Doyle, Kingsford, and was. of a quiet disposition, and was sfavor- ably known and highly respected, 'having lived on his farm, one mile from Ernesttown - Station, over thirty years. Although afflicted with deafness, he made many friends. Besides his widow and only child, Caroline Elizabeth Ellinor Doyle, he leay his aged parents, also six bi ers and four sisters, who were all present at the funeral | services, except one brother, David, at Oldo, Alberta. 'Those present were: Mrs. A. Bower, Napaheo; Mrs. W. Hannah, Camden; Mr. and Mrs, Joe Doyle, Vernon, B/C.; William Doyle, Bath; Mr: and Mrs. John Doyle, 1 Deseronfo Road: Mr. and rs.

'Par. 68. Next he advises yon to main and all other mains by mains of adequate strength, which is very good advice point of view, but what about the cost and tearing up of new 1s |r tvements, which cuts a very small figure with the Underwriters. Does he consider the whole system has not been made for 150 Ibs., with the ex- ception of what has been put in nce 1898? 'These have all heen tested to 400 Ibs. Then there is all the kitohen boilers and waterbacks in the stoves to consider.

As! further proof there has been put in| a new venturi meter to measure the! water pumped once the discharge has! been proved to be very close 'to the plunger displadement. T "Next place he says only one pump can work at a time on account of the suction pipe not being large enough to supply both. In Par. 39 he says there is 140 feet of 30 in. pipe and 13,000 feet of 20 in. pipe, which is] not correct. The intake pipe from| the end of the 30 in. pipe is 2,500 feet of 24 in, pipe and will supply 7,000,000 gallons. The reason the 2 pumps could not run together was the discharge mains were not suffi- cient, which hag been made good by putting in the 'new main on West street, and is noW good for 7 million gallons, The suction pipes are not separate to 10 feet outside the pump house, but are connected to a tie in- ide.

These boilers, which have never fail- ed to do their work, one for 21 years and the other 1§ years, with entire satisfaction, were condemned by the writer of this réport as too small for the work. "Par. 62. As to the speed of the pumps, he says: 'Such a spead is very excessive and I consider danger- ous, especially considering the age of the pumps, and no pump should run over 100 ft. per minute, except for short periods.' The Killey pump has run at the required speed for 27 years, and has never had a break due to speed. run at the required speed for 22 years, and never had a break of any kind.
