Waterloo can now boast one of the beat and most thoroughly up-to- date Water Works plants of any town its size in Canada. The water supply is secured from artesiun wells sunk to depths of about ninety feet, which fiow I about 600,000 gallons B day, the water being perfectly tree from minerals and ‘ nitrite, the sunples submitted to the . Provincial analyist being pronounced , “splendid." The plant consists of - a pumping house, storage well with t 75,000 gallons capacity, two 80 II.

The Waterloo Manufawturing Com- . pany is growing with amazing rapidity. Last rearlarge additions were made to the works, including handsome emcee and a large warehouse and erecting rooms 200160 feet, which it was thought would relieve the pres. sure for space in the machine shops and other departments', but the ex. pansion of their business during the' ‘ year has been no rapid that their ca- pacity is again overland, and to meet the new conditions they this year elected a large brick building, 250x50 feet, which will be utilized for erecting rooms, blacksmith and moulding shops, the outlay for new buildings being 86,000. The Waterloo Elunufseturv ing Company is one of the largest em- ployers of labor in Waterloo, and as such is a. splendid bulwark of the town. During the year about one hundred and twentr-tiro men have been on the pay roll. all working ten I hours a day, while during the summer months the works were run twelve and n half hours every day. The principal manufactures of this concern are threshers, traction and portable en" glues, and other farming Implements. They cater ehiefiy to Ontario trade, and have established a large connec- thn in Manitoba and the Northwest, and during the year they have not been nearly able to supply the demand from this quarter.
