The plant on the lake consists of three 125-horsepower boilers and one 250-horsepower engine, operating a 24-inchIvens pump having a capacity of 20,000 gallons a minute, and one350-horsepower engine, operating a 30-inch Ivens pump having acapacity of 25,000 gallons a minute. Either of the pumps canbe operated from the boilers, but both can not be operated at thesame time. This plant is equipped with oil burners and storage lanksand a pipe line from the Cane Belt Railroad. The river plan I con-sists of one 300-horsepower engine and two 150-horsepowcr boilers(another of the same size is being added), operating a 30-inch Ivenspump of 25,000 gallons capacity, against a maximum lift of 28 water is canalled to a branch,which takes it into the lake, andfrom there, in time
