Gentlemen, 
The last* named firm suggest* having a steel 
tank of 5,000 gallons capacity raised 15 feet on 
steel tower to get a sufficient head or pressure 
for this they require an additional sum of $450- 
bringing up their tender to $4,250* This is an 
important point as it is not much use having a 
storage tank without pres sure* As regards the 
Engine and pump I have consulted Mr*Pierce and 
Mr. Coveny and they both condemn a centrifugal pum 
for our purpose* It seems to rest between the 2nd 
and 3rd tenders, and from the pains they have^ 
taken in trying to meet our requirements I think 
we cannot do better than accept Messrs. Howarth 
Erskine r s tender * 
Will the Committee be good enough to vote for 
one or the other*
