投资于水工厂的钱
除了旧金山，美国拥有的大多数主要城市，并不时改善其水工厂体系。辛辛那提（Cincinnati）拥有8,000,000美元的水工厂投资，很快就开始建造一个全新的水工厂系统，耗资6,500,000美元。在新奥尔良，水工厂系统正在取得广泛的改进。新奥尔良仅比新泽西州纽瓦克大一点，但它只有108英里的水管，而纽瓦克拥有216个。在那个城市，对供水的控制权由市政当局手中，北芝加哥的工程耗资24,000,000美元。水是从密歇根湖获得的。婴儿床已经建成了距海岸几英里的建造，主要是四英里。芝加哥的水管延伸了近2,000英里。巴尔的摩的水工厂代表了一笔13,000,000美元的市政投资，而波士顿的投资在领土上小于巴尔的摩，售价为260,00,000美元。波士顿作品的水容量几乎是Grea’的四倍。 as that of the Baltimore works. The Philadelphia water works cost $28,000,000, and the average consumption of that city is 200,000 gal'ons daily. The St. Louis water works cost $25,000,000 and have an average capacity of 50,000.000 gallons a day; but in respect of storage facilities, the Mound City is far behind some other cities. The San Francisco water works cost $21,000,000; those of Brooklyn, $25,000,000; and those of Denver, $10,000,000. The average daily consumption of water in Brooklyn is about 80,000.000, and there is a contract in force, not yet completed, for increasing the amount by $50,000,000 gallons a day. Brooklyn is, furthermore, under contract for three pumping engines of 20,000.000 gallons each, now in course of construction, to increase the daily pumping capacity at the Ridgewood pumping station to about 125,000,000, gallons. New York’s new aqueduct cost up to last January 1 some $33,000,000. which, added to the original cost of the old aqueduct, $50,000,000, brings up the total expense of New York city water works to $83,000,000. The work which New York is now completing aims at increased storage capacity— the water works themselves being sufficient for the city’s needs for many years. Last summer 100,000,000 gallons were drawn daily for three months.
