to do to get a better draft in these 

 boilers. M. C. L. 



One should be able to judge fairly 

 well regarding the surplus capacity of a 

 boiler by noting the ease with which it 

 maintains the desired temperature in 

 the present houses; in fact, a better 

 idea might perhaps be obtained in that 

 way than from an empirical estimate. 

 However, using the customary calcula- 

 .tion for the capacity per horse-power, 

 it is probable that one additional house 

 could be heated readily, while by crowd- 

 ing the boiler up to its full capacity, 

 whenever it is zero or less, a range of 

 six houses might be handled by a sev- 

 enty horse-power boiler. The chimney 

 should extend at least forty feet above 

 the point where the smoke flue enters, 

 and fifty feet would be better. 



The draft in the chimney with which 

 the hot water boilers are connected 

 Could be improved by adding ten feet 

 to its height. Another improvement 

 ■^"ould be to connect the flue having the 

 poorer draft about two feet higher. The 

 cliimney may be too small.
