WATER WoRKs-From the following
report made to the Board of Mayor and
Alderman last night, it will be seen that
the Water Works Commissioners have
entered upon the first practical steps OF
their duties. We are glad to learn that
the recommendations of the Commits
sioners have been adopted by the Board ::
After completing an organization by
the election Of VIM. r. Hunt as Chair
man, and J. j. Murphy as Secretary, it
became apparent to our Board that the
first step necessary to lay the foundation
of the work assigned to US, was to collect
information as to the plans adopted by
various other cities to supply themselves
with water, and also to procure good
hydraulic engineer to make our plans
and carry them out. To do this we APP
pointed committee consisting of the
President, VIM. r. Hunt, Charles Jones
and John Overton, jr., to proceed north
to make the necessary examinations.
They have carried out our instructions,
and make the report herewith submitted.
We have, in accordance with their rec
concentrations, employed Messrs. Her
many and Chysboro; the first at $4,000
per annum until the work of building the
Water Works and sewers is actually COM
menced, and thereafter we are to pay him
$4,000 per annum. -.
We have agreed to pay Mr.. Chysboro
$4,000 per annum, and his travelling ex-
penses to and from Memphis to Chicago,
as consulting engineer. We have au-
thorized. them to employ and put into
the field sufficient number OF parties
to complete the surveys with the utmost
expedition, subject, however, to the APP
proval of your Board, which approval we
now ask.
When the surveys and estimates are
made we will submit them to your hon
orahle body, with such recommendations
as may be deemed necessary, and it will
then be for your honorable body to de-
termine whether the contracts shall be
let out, or for such other action as you
NAV deem fit in the premises.
We think we can build the works if
your Board will give us power to do so.
The following is the report of the Elk
aiming Committee, Messrs. W. R. Hunt
and Charles Jones. They recommend
the erection of water-works on the same
plan as those of Louisville, KY, and
Cleveland, 0hio
We went first to Louisville, thence-tO
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York,
Rochester, Cleveland and Chicago, and
after careful examination of the works
in those cities, and consultation with the
most eminent hydraulic engineers, as to
their adaptation to our city, we think the
works at Louisville and Cleveland (both
of which are after the same pattern) are,
of all others, the best adapted to our sit
uation. The following statement will
show the cost and performance of the
works at Louisville, KY:

STEAMER ALBERT PEARcE BURNED.
On Monday morning the steamer Albert
Pearce, in command Of Capt VIM. Ash.
ford, while ON her voyage from 81. Louis
to Vicksburg, with nearly 600 tons Of
freight, took fire about four miles below
Lake Providence, and burned to the
waters edge. The Pearce passed Mem
phis early on Saturday morning The
bulk Of her cargo was consigned to
the Vicksburg railroad. She caught FIRE
in the nursery, and fortunately, it was
discovered in time to land the boat and
permit the passengers and officers to get
ashore. The flames spread rapidly, and
very little, if anything could be saved.
The officers mostly saved their private
effects The clerk, Mr.. John Sullivan,
who is we'll known here, used his en-
deavors to save the books and papers of
the boat, but only secured the money in
the safe and his own effects The
Pearce was comparatively good boat
She was built in 1863 for the Missouri
river trade, but proved too slow and Of
too much draught for the muddy Mis-.
souri, She piled for two seasons in the
St. Louis and White river trade, under
the command of Capt. Luker. She was
valued at $4,000, and insured in ST.
Louis Offices for $4,000. Msssrs. Bart
Able and Dan Able owned onehalt Of
her; Peter Friedman, her former clerk,
aud Mr. Matthias, owned one-fourth
Captain William Ashford, her comman.
der, and Mr.. John Sullivan, her clerk,
owned the one-fourtb. This was her first
trip in the new line, and, unfortunately,
has proved to be her last. We are glad
that there were no lives lost, though
several'of the crew barely escaped from
the flames.

We therefore recommend that our

changes as our engineers may deem
necessary to adapt them more perfectly
to the peculiarities Of our location. We
further recommend that Mr.. Charles
Hermany, Of Louisville, Kentucky, be
employed TO erect our water works and
plat our sewerage system. His services
can be had at $4,000 per annum to survey
and platthem, until the work is absolutely
commenced, after that he requires $1,000
