THB WAsHINGToN STREET BRIDGE.-We take
1t that the action OF Council in deciding to iu-
troduoe water into the Ninth ward is an indica-
tion Of an early prospect Of the resumption of
work upon the bridge which is to span the
Brandywne at Washington street Every day
this bridge is becoming more and more Of an
imperative necessity. The Market street bridge
is the only approach available to the country
people north Of this city, or avenue of egress to
city people in that direction, and in case of ac-
cident all communication by carriage would be
cut of except by circuitous and difficult route.
This fact alone should compel the immediate erec-
tion Of the bridge but there are others equally
important. Every public improvement enhances
the value of the property of the city and aug
ments the list of taXables The construction of
this bridge would develop an undeveloped por.
tlon Of the city, where land is cheap and building
eltes desirable. We mean the extension OF
Washington street and along 18th street. which
crosses Washington at right angles. Here is a
beautiful elevated slope, which for builing pur-
poses Is unsurpassed. 1t has commanding
view Of the Delaware, and overlooks the uppeI
part the city. Such locations as this do not es.

REPORT OF THE "CoMMITTEE ON FOUNTAINS - TO
THE MANAGERS or THE WILMINGTON FOUNTAIN
SOCIETY SEPT. 2SD, 1872.
Three months having elapsed since our last
meetings brief report of what has been done in
the meantime, and the condition of our property,
may be acceptable
The painting of the fountains has been COM
peed giving them a neat and eeanly appear
ance, and by late personal inspection they were
found to be in good order.
Two additional fountains have been erected
on two OF the main avenues OF our city one at
the foot OF Market street, near the bridge-the
other on Front street, West Of the junction Of
Maryland Avenue, both OF easy access for water
ing the large number of horses and cattle enter
ing or departing from the city.
The fountain at the foot of Market street. is
OF pretty design and is surmounted by figure
Of Spring.
We are mainly indebted to +. Tatrall Warner
for this fountain having with his subscription
and that Of the firm of Charles Warner 4 Co, ,
furnished more than half the sum necessary for
its construction the balance being supplied by
the coachmakers and others in the vicinity and
our society.
These with the ten fountains previously erect
ed, make twelve that in operation, daily
supplying great amount OF comfort to man and
he dumb animals, and it must be a source of
pleasure to the many individuals who kindly
supplied the means to erect these fountains, to
have witnessed daily during the long continued
warm weather the many hundreds that were re-
fIeshed at them.
The Memorial Fountain is now ready for
putting up and when completed will make thir-
teen in full operation in our city, being probably
larger number in proportion to our population
than any other city in Europe OF America, being
one fountain to every 2700 persons,
London has about 800 public drinking foun-
tains in population of 3 500 600 people, or one
| fountain to each 100000 persons
Boston has 70 fountains in population of
2jO 526 people, or one fountain to r. j2G citizens.
New York has very few fountains, but their
| usefulness, and the necessity OF having them are
go apparent, that the benevolent citizens are
forming " Fountain Soeisties,' and in another
year we may look for large increase of them in
that city.
The Philadelphia Fountain Society has 4s
fountains in full operation, and will probably
have 80 before the season closes. Many of them
are very beautiful, and they arc well distributed
through the city. To the intelligent President
of that Society DR., w c. Swain, we are indebted
for his experience and kind advice in establishing
our own society,
In conclusion your committee believe we have
reason to be thankful for the liberal aid we have
| received to enable us to establish these foun.
taiis, and to rejoice inthe amount Of comfort to
man and Least they have produced, and encour-
| agement to continue in the benevolent cause in
which we have embarked.
