TEIE GLASGOW WATERWORKS.—At the usual
monthly meeting of the Water Committee, held on Monday
—the Lord Provost presiding—it was reported that the
Lord Provost and magistrates had visited the Gorbals
Waterworks on Saturday, March 19th, and the Mugdock
Reservoir on Friday the 25th of March, and that both were
found to be in a state of apparent complete safety. It was,
however, agreed that while those visits enabled them to see
that the whole works were apparently in a most satisfactory
state, it was expedient, looking to the recent calamity at
Sheffield,to have the whole embankments connected with the
Loch Katrine Works, and also the Gorbal Works, minutely
inspected, and reported on by Mr. Bateman and Mr. Gale,
along with some eminent civil engineer, so that the public
safety might as far as possible be secured. Mr. Gale (the com-
pany's engineer) was authorised to proceed to Sheffield for the
purpose of examining the Bradfield Reservoir, and acquiring
such information as might be useful to him in the discharge
of his duties. The second quarterly report by Mr. Gale
stated that the quantity of water sent into the city during
January, February, and March last was 18,400,000 gallons
a day on the average from the Loch Katrina Works, and
3,400,000 gallons a day from the Gorbals Works--in all
21,800,000 gallons a day, being 2,000,000 gallons a day more
than in the corresponding three months of 1863. The high
floods on the Clyde on the 14th and 15th of March had car-
ried away a part of the river bank at both the Craston-hill
and, the Dalmarnock Works, and the repairs required would
be somewhat extensive, It was supposed that the increased
velocity of the river during floods, through the deepening
and widening operations below the Broomielaw, had been
principally tfa cause of the late abrasions of the river banks.
