11311 A MEM WATER COMPANY.—At a MEETING
JLlivid the KM oft /ember. 11124. at the Albion Tavern. Alders-
gme.atrat, fur the purpow of " considering the espediancy of es-
tablishing a Cinopany for supplying the Metropolis with pun
Water from the Him Thames."

It wee resolved.--
That it has long been matter of just complaint throughout the
InelEvriia, that doe supply of water is of inferior quality for do-
mastic use, besides being uncertain, and very generally insufficient
fee the ordinary conaumption.
That this uncertainty and insufficiency have occasioned numerous
and heavy losses of property, by reason of the impossibility of ob-
taining a supply of water in cues of fire, for many hours after the
arrival of engines. „ I
That It is most essential to the safety of the inhabitants of tnis
peat metropolis, that there should be a boundless and constant
supply of water, and equally so to their comfort and health that it
should he of unexceptionable purity.
That in consequence of the great increase of population In the
neighbourhood of lionoloo and Westminster, and the establishment
of manufactories of various kinds on the banks of the Thames, by
which the stream is constantly polluted and rendered unwholesome,
it is impossible to draw a supply of pure water from any pan of
die river near to the metropolis.
That Mr. l'hilip Taylor, having laid before this meeting the re.
salt of the surveys, and the estimate which he hag prepared by
order of the promoters of this undertaking, it is the opinion of lilts
meeting, that, by the adoption of the plan proposed by him, a
buundloas supply of water, drawn from a part of the river Thames
so distant as to preclude the possibility of pollution, may be fur.
nished even to the attics of the highest situations in the metro-
polis, that in the event of fire that supply will always he Instantly
'rotatable in every pan of the town, and may he carried in an over-
whelmitur column to the top of the highest houses, even without
the ant of fire-engines; and further, that it appears likely that title
plan may be carried into execution at an expense which would en-
able the Company to furnish the supply upon terms in no case ex-
cseding those of other l'onipanies, and in many eases, and particu-
Larly where the water Is carried to any considerable height, at much
kmer rates than are now charged, and also secure to the Proprietors
a literal return for the capital to be invested.
That application be made to Parliament, at the next Session, foe
an Act to incorporate a Joint Stock Conipany, under the title of
The Thames Water Company," to carry into effect these Am.
patent objens.
That the Capital of the said Company be 7511,00(11., to be raised
by traufetrable shares of 1010. each, with power to ionreuc the
suns; and that a deposit of U. per share be paid at the time of
sulecribmg; and that Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Militate, filyn, and
Co., and Sir Walter Stirling, Bart. and Co., be authorised to re-
cto! doesame.

..- -...—....
That the ronerenf of the Company be managed bylTwenty-four
bisectors. to by hereafter chosen by the body of Proprietors. That Mr. Philip Taylor be appointed Engineer to the Company, ,
and that he he requested forthwah to prepare the estimates and de-
tails which are farther reetseary.
That it be referred lo • Coonniittee of 31anagement to investigate
tbA further demi% and estimates, and to take such "her ""I M
lini.irar to them to he necessary.
