The boiler room contains at present six 250-h. p. watertubular boilers with wrought steel headers, which aredesigned to carry 200 lbs. steam pressure. These boilers areequipped with chain grate stokers, making the firing almostautomatic and smokeless. Provision was made in this roomfor the installation of 1,600 additional horse-power inboilers. There is also located in this room one Berrymansfeed water heater of 3,000 h. p. capacity.
