RESERVOIR SOON READY. , 
Manchester's New 1,000,000-gallon Standpipe to be Finished First Week in 
July.

The work on the giant standpipe on 
Moses Hill, the most striking feature of 
Manchester's new high-pressure water 
system, is fast being completed and the 
formal opening, it is now expected, will 
take place in the first week of July. 
The reservoir will rise from Moses

Hill to a height of 77 feet. It is 50 feet 
in width inside and will hold more than 
a million gallons. In the sunken-well 
system, now in use, the pressure at the 
lowest point in the village is about 75 
pounds; but the great capacity of the 
new reservoir, together with the fact that 
its floor is.eight feet higher than the high 
water level of the present tank, will as- 
sure a pressure of at least 115 pounds at 
the lowest point of service. 
The reservoir is the third of its kind 
to be built in this state and is one of the 
best in the country. It is being con- 
structed by Simpson Brothers corp. of 
Boston ata cost of $29,150. Ground 
was first broken on Dec. 1 of last year, 
and actual work of construction three 
months later. 
With its walls of cement and ribs of 
stecl, this tower seems built for ages. 
The engineers in charge first considered 
building it of steel, but it was found that, 
while cement construction would cost 
about 25 per cent. more at the start, it 
would save many times that from its 
durability, freedom from maintenance 
charges and small leakage. 
To get the material to the top of the 
hill, it has been necessary to build. a 
temporary cable railway. At present the 
standpipe bas risen to a height of about 
65 feet. 
High Surf Sunday. 
Hundreds of sight-seers were attracted 
to Singing Beach, Manchester, and oth- 
er points along the North Shore last Sun- 
day, by a surf that ran high all along the 
New England coast. ' The waves: were 
nothing to be compared with those that 
are thrown against Eaglehead in the fall 
and winter, but they were sufficent at 
times to run up half-way to the bathing 
houses. and to cover the beach with 
foam. 
A brisk east wind blew all morning, 
quieted down during the afternoon, but 
rose again at nightfall, and when dark- 
ness came, the waves were piling as high 
as at any time during the day. ‘There 
were many sight-seers who continued on 
the beach after night had settled. Some, 
perhaps authors who had come out to 
get impressions of the sea at night, were 
seen taking notes. About 9 o'clock, 
huge storm-clouds began to appear on 
the horizon and the surf-watchers soon 
dispersed.
