    Considerable re-wiring and re-piping in the engine room were made necessary on account of the installation of the third boiler and the overhead louvres raised to improve the ventilation which had also been much restricted. The cylinders of Nos. 1 and 2 engines were re-bored, new pistons and rings fitted, and the crank boxes rebabbited. The ice machine was overhauled, a new piston rod fitted and the crank box rebabbited. These machines are now in very good order. The personnel of most of the force has remained unchanged throughout the year—which has had a very favorable effect upon operating conditions and economy. Except as noted in the matter of desired additions and betterments the engineering departments’ situation and relations have been very satisfactory during the past twelve months. Respectfully submitted, Arthur B. Saunders, Chief Engineer.
