LOCAL MATTERS.

THE Cry WATER-PRoPosED NEW REsER-
vo1R.-The people of Richmond, and par
tlcularly honseholders in the eastern part of
the city, have for years felt the insufficiency
of the present supply of water, and of late
the Common Council has taken the means
OF supplyfngti deficit under serious consitl-
Grafton. A special committee, composed of
energetic and public-spirited men, now
having charge of the matter, there Is pros
pect of something definite being done.
With this view the committee recently Sc
cured the services of Mr.. j. P. Kirkwood, q
distinguished northern engineer, who has
made water works his speciality, and knows
perhaps as much about their construction
and management as any man in the cOun-
| try. He Is particularly known In eonnec-
tion with the Brooklyn Works, which are
said to be the best in, the United States.
Mr.. kirkwood arrived here on Tuesday.
Yesterday, IN company with Messrs. Yale,
Dnnham, Gregory, Ordway, Pelouze, King,
Miller, and Van Lew, of the City Council !;
superintendent Hayes, Mr.. Exall, the archi-
Bates, City Engineers, and other gentlemen,
he visited the city reservoir and pump
house.
MIR: Kirkwood expressed his surprise that
the city had not originally purchased an
other and more elevated spot for the build
ing Of the great holder from which we now
get water for all parts of our widely-ex-
tended city. But the diminutive basin was
astill greater surprise. About quarter of a
mile off there was piece of land twenty or
thirty feet higher, which was at once desig-
mated by Mr. Kirkwood as the proper place
for the new reservoir should it be decided
to build it in that vicinity. This view OF
the case seemed particularly to please our
| friend ENall who was watching ieal0uslv
the interests of Hollywood, the directors OF
that company having long coveted the piece
of property now owned By the city.
After spending some time in The neigh.
borhood Of the reservoir the company re.
paired to the pump-house, where they
found everything in "apple-pie order,'
under the superintendent Of Messrs. Hayes
and Cook. The investigation of the appa.
ratus being over. fine lunch was served by
Mr.. Frank. Mullin in his usual good style,
and after some time spent in its enjoyment
the company returned to the city, The re.
port of Mr.. Kirkwood has not yet been
made public,
