Port Jervis Has an Auxiliary System.
The Port Jervis Waterworks company is pumping from the Neversink river at a point about a half a mile above the sand-bar, and two 100-power engines and a Worthington duplex compound pump are forcing water into the mains at the rate of 1,250,000 gal. a day. The company has erected a permanent plant the Cuddeback fields to mains, which were exalong the river, and the water is forced across tended through Glass and Hamilton streets to meet the new line of pipe. There is a twoweeks' supply in the reservoirs, which will be left there for fire-pressure and, until the reservoirs are replenished by rains, the people will use the Neversink water.
