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



The old pump-house being- badly out of repair and disadvantageously 

 located with reference to the new hatchery, 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 i^48 feet in the length 

 of the discharge pipe from the pumps to the suppl}^ 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; 21(> feet of 3-inch suction jupe was also laid, and the 

 necessar}^ steam-pipes connected. A suitable coal-l)in was constructed 

 adjoining the pump-house.
