To ase Prestdes OF the Csty Council: 7as1ess .:s
+ "A resolution passed your honorable body
August 7th, 1866, authorizing the City Civil
Engineer to contract with some one to con-
dnct the surplus water from the city
pumps to the. city cisterns. As the
Chief Engineer Of your Fire De-
partment, I most respectfully urge
upon the. City Council the necessity of
having said resolution repealed as soon as
possible, as the work has been commenced
under it. My reasons for asking that this
work should be stopped will be apparent
TO every one. These cisterns are at all
times full of water, and If the water from
the pumps be allowed to run into them,
where will the water 90 to There being
no outlet but the top Of the cisterns, it must
|gfcUurse pass out Of1he cast iron outlet on
the top of the cistern, thereby allowing the
water TO soak and pass over the arch of
the eistern, and in time cause the
arch to give away. It will also keep the
streets around the cisterns in q washed and
muddy condition, and In winter. the iron
outlets will freeze and burst the stone tops.
Ia gain, the drains that are now being
placed under the city pumps to conduct the
waste water to tile cisterns will be madere-
ceptaeles for the filth caused by the rinsing
OF buckets and tubs, and tubs containing
soap suds, grease, and other glutenous mat
ter, to say nothing ofograVel and other
filth. 1t must be apparent to all that our
engines, Ia q short time would be unable
to use the water contained in the cisterns
It will cause the water in the boilers to
foam, and will enddnger the safety of the
engines. It will be impossible for the en-
gineers to tell how much water, if any,,
they have in the boilers. most respect
fully urge the necessity of repeating the
resolution at once, and ordering the work
stopped. K S Yours respectfully, 90.
