bring before the committee, an estimate for a suitable 1 ne

Water along the principal streets, and throughout the
warehouse dis -nets."
TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WATER COMMITTEE.

Sir,—ln compliance with the instructions conveyed by the
above resolution, the engineer begs to state that in his
report on the memorial of certain inhabitants of Liver-
pool and neighbourhood, to have supplied to them the
waters of the local springs, as well as that from Rivington
by a separate system cf piping, he entered into the con-
sideration of the best mode of accomplishing this object.

a list of streets, with the sizes of pipes which that gentle-
man considers it advisible to have laid down for the distri-
bution of Rivington water, he has estimated the cost as

with Mr. Bennett, as regards the mode of accomplishing
