 Morley House, Bagot, St. Saviour's. Jersey, November 10<A, 1886. 

 GESTLEMES.-The large Municipal Boiler which you sent me last year is doing its work satisfactorily; .t is heating 5.000 feet of 4-inch pipe in one of my vineries, and I am quite sure that 

 it has power to work a much greater length, while in cost of fuel it compares favourably with my other Boilers. 



I have now five of your Boilers in use, and I cannot speak too well of their healing powers, or their comparatively small consumption of fuel. ,<.;„,. Q w HABHTOKD

 The buildings are four storeys high, and we have a total length of about 28,000 feet of pipin 



offices and rooms can all be in operation at one time or separately, and the heat regulated by meat 



Two of your Patent Municipal Pattern Boilers. No. 4, work the whole of this piping easily, although
