THAMES PUMPING ASSOCIA TION.
■ ■'. ■: ■ ■•&• ...■;., i . An important decision has been arrived at in regard to the carrying on of p=mping operations at the Big Pump. It appeared that several of the coaipanie3 wio had been coatributing to the pumping operations hail withdrawn their contributions for want of funds, or because they were not working ,at such a depth as to be ber.cfit-ted.'. Consequently the greater portion of the cost of roaintamirig the pump fell on fewer eom--1 panies. The Prince Imperial Company were only paying £SO a month towards the maintenance of the pumping operations, and this the association did not think sufficient, ao ifi was agreed to send notice to the Prince Imperial Company that \lnles3 they contributed £150 a month towards pamping operations the pumps would be stopped. Instrnofa'ons ■were sent to the manager to make every thing in readine3S for an immediate stoppage of the pumps and machinery. ;. - " .Rough on Rats."—Clearti Cat rats, mice, roacto3, flies, ants, bed-hngs, beeUsu. insect, aknntv jack-rabbits, gppbera.
