When PROSPECTUS.
the tr We look to the 'vast population, and consider the eminence,
Interete, the enterprise, the great manufacturing and commercial
that the
most
this metropolis, it becomes a matter of no little surprise
Lein abetter active means have not, long since, been taken to ob-
my
werdupply of water, and to get rid of the mud-and-water
-ono
eh has so grievously existed for many years past.
naTlyhearismobtect is one upon which so much has been said, and such
dilate coMplaints made, that it is altogether unnecessary to
-which tiro the crying evil, or to offer a single remark beyond that
ititio:eart rendered so self-evident to every disinterested and dispas.
Mind
‘,l. the
pUblicewientght companies supplying London with water, the New
Middleton he most extensive. It was constructed by Sir Hugh
,at an expense of about 150,000/. When, in 1834, the
a re much excited in consequence of the bad water supplied,
nen _ inquiry on the subject took place, and commis •
I:v6l::Zrine;enrpriTointed. From the evidence then given it apeared
that
capital invested by the New River Company was 1,116,9(41.,
Line other Companies 2,127.5951., making a total of 3,224,5591.
though the New River Company paid an enormous bonus (300 per
'wit. on the paid-up capital) yearly to the shareholders. there was
ft balance of 157,2061. 10s. 6d. remaining, which is more than the ori-
ginal cost of construction. The average number of houses supplied
in 1834, accordins: to the minutes of evidence, was 196,492, at the
annual value of 216,2001.. about 11. 10s. yearly per house. Pure
water can be supplied for one-third that sum, and leave a profit, to
the capitalist who invests in this speculation, more enormous than
that of the New River Company.
Hence the opportunity has presented itself for the formation of a
Company for the supply of pure water at an inconsiderable outlay,
and upon those sure and unerring principles of Artesian Springs
which have been so generally adopted on the Continent—unfailing
and succes-ifully established to the satisfaction of the most sceptical
individuals.
With reference to supplying London with pure spring water, let it
b. undersi.ood, that the surface of chalk on which London is built re-
ceives and retains rain on an average of twenty-one inches per an-
num- This chalk-bed or basin has an extent of 12,000 ware miles.
Each square mile contains, allowing one-third for evaporation, no less
than 3,208,228 hogsheads of water per annum, or on a hundred square
One-twelfth of the surface, 320,822,800 hogsheads. The supply
of water last year by the different companies was 314,553,012 hogs-
heads. Thus the London bed is capable of supplying more than
twelve times the quantity needed, sufficient for all the towns in Great
Britain and Ireland.
B 0 certain and conclusive have been the experiments tried, that
4
Most successful result has attended every instance in procuring
ate!' upon the principle stated.
The metal pipes, as now used by the London Water Companies
bu 11... net be adopted by the United Kingdom Artesian Water Corn-
KI- lass, and some such tubes as cannot corroded, will only
o use. The recent repeal of the duty on glass and porcelain
make such pipes cheaper than metal.
