Bryan Point Station, Maryland (L. G. Harron, in Charge). 



The old pump-house bein^- badly out of repair and disadvantageously 

 located with reference to the new hatcheiy, a new and substantial 

 pump-house was erected near the east end of the hatchery and the suc- 

 tion pipe extended from the pumps to the river on the bracing under 

 the new wharf to a point where the water is 10 feet deep at low tide. 

 This change in the location effected the saving of 218 feet in the length 

 of the discharge pipe from the pumps to the supply tank, with a result- 

 ant saving in fuel whenever the pumps were operated. The boiler and 

 pumps were removed to the new pump-house, and the old pump-house 

 was fitted up as quarters for four of the spawn-takers; 354 feet of 

 3-inch discharge pipe was removed from underground, and 106 feet of 

 the same relaid; 240 feet of 3-inch suction pipe was also laid, and the 

 necessary steam-pipes connected. A suitable coal-})in was constructed 

 adjoining the pump-house.
