The City Waterw0rks.

The WaterwOrks and Public Buildings
Department of the city administration, has
now in course Of preparation plan for im-
proving the facilities of water supply to the
inhabitants Of New Orleans. The present
basis of supply consists of the waterworks
in the upper part Of the First District, on
Orange street. This, as most residents OF
New Orleans know, consists of an artificial
mound, occupying square, at an elevation
Of about twenty feet, and containing sew
eral capaciOus basins. into which the water
from the river is pumped up, and thence
descends into the mains, supplying the city
to limited extent. These waterwOrks,
which were erected by chartered company
having banking privileges, were finished in
1885, under the superintendence of Albert
Stein, then an engineer ofhigh standing. At
the time the city of New Orleans was not
much more than one-third its present
extent, yet not many years had elapsed be-
fore the supply was felt to be too limited.
Numerous plans have been suggested from
time to time, the result of one Of these
plans being the iron building st the foot of
Canal street. None Of these plans, how
ever, have ever been carried out, and the
matter now occupies the attention of Mr..
Delassize and his able assistants. Among
others proposed has been the plan Of an
aqueduet from the Tangipahoa river; but
the impediments to this are SO great as to
be almost insurmountable, especially in the
present state of the municipal finances.
The plan which seems to be most in favor
at the present time is known as the Holly
plan. which plan we believe will be fully
considered in all its relations and practica-
bilities, and the result made known in
time. That the action of the municipal
authorities should be brought to bear on
this important subject at the earliest
moment not inconsistent with financial en-
barrassment, is evident from the fact that
the present waterworks yield less than ten
millions of gallons Of water per day, while
twenty millions would be limited supply.

Important Real Estate Sales Yesterday.
1t is with much qualification that we ap-
pend below long and valued list of i'm
pOrtant real estate sales, made by Messrs.
Nash & Hodgson, at the St. Charles Auction
Exchange, yesterday. For two long, mortal
hours the throng stood, packed in solid
mass, bidding spiritedly on every piece of
property offered, especially on the vacant
property in the Sixth District, which fact is
convincing evidence of the faith in the
present administration Of affairs by those
who invest their all in real estate, and are
willing to abide the future
Property formerly considered nearly val
ueless was, through the tact and energy Of
the above popular firm, made to bring prices
far beyond the most sanguine expectations
of the parties at interest, and well may it
be pronounced one Of the most important
sales made here for many years. The fol
lowing is the list sold, with the prices real
lied.

THE ninety-mile post on the Bruins
wick n Albany railroad has been
reached.
THE grading on the Selma and New Or
leans railroad is finished to the Cahaba,
and track-laying is about to commence.
On the first of September a railroad
meeting was held in Marshall county to
confer with the Board of Directors of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad with
the view ofhaving the Shelbyville branch
of the road extended to the county seat Of
Marshall. The conference was most salts
factory and harmonious. A resolution
was passed by the board favoring the sx-
tension of the branch to Marshall, and
prospects are that this extension will be
accomplished.

preferred against him. he is satisfied
with John G. Fremont,
THE SHORT LINE RAILROAD between
Louisville and Cincinnati is one of the
best and safest roads in the country, as
we can personally attest, and fully de-
serves the eulogy conveyed in the follow
ing verses: BOG
The track is smooth, the joints are good,
And what gains our affection,
Is. that If travelling East or South
You surely make connection.
The "Short Line" ears are palaces,
And those who in them roam
Believe it is not true to say,
There is no place like home"
For he who going East or South,
BY this route travels there,
Will find, GLtho' The fares the same,
He gets much better fare.
