plumb. and was liable to wear. The:e
was plenty OF water, but the machinery
was only OF temporary character, TIE
pipes, ne said, were we'll placed and we'll
secured on brick foundation.
Mr. w. O. Schultze, who has been EN-.
ployed by Col. Pearce as watohman
since 18th December, 1872, testified, that
at that date, the two pumps used in fore
ing tho water to the distributing reser-
voir were not in good order. The filter
broke, and water was afterwards thrown
mp without being filtered. This was
done off and on. and they we're without
filter till the new one was built. Mr..
w: u. Long, machinist, had been
called upon to repair the pumps when
broken by ice. He put in new buckets.
Ihe pumps were of cast iron and good.
They are placed on heavy timbers and
party on rook. and are we'll secured.
| MIR. Samuel Hook was the Superin.
tendent OF the old Water Works. On
27th August, 1872, water was firet thrown
Eby the new works into the reservoir. On
that day, one pump Was at work for
ABOUT three hours. The new works could
not have been operated on the 23d Au-
gust, as he would have known it by the
connection with the old.
MIR. J. III. Crawford give his evidence
as to the time the machinery was de!::.
yered. ranging from the 7th June to tie
10Th September, 1872.
Mr.. Richard Tozer. machinist, had ex.
amined the machinery, and found it and
the workmanship and gearing good. The
snait,ng and pumps worked s.eadily. The
water-wheel appeared to be only tempo
rarily adjusted. It ought to have been
either on rock or brick. As far as he
could see, it was wood. If destroyed, it
would not take long, perhaps week, to
build another such wheel and wheel
house. With great care, might last ten
years.
Mr.. McDougal, who follows the trade
! OF noulder, considered the Water Works
, not substantial. He noticed that the
building shook. This showed that there
Was want Of the proper support. The
mitre wheel did not run true on the
shaft. This is hard on the gearing.
3 The last witness examined was Major
, Mahon, the OWL engineer who wee tor
long time employed on the survey Of the
canal and in the construction OF the
works. His testimony is that of tho
! rough expert and accomplished sur
q veyor. We caught only few points of
1t. IN answer to the question whether,
II all the water from the old and we'll
known springs should be cut Of, all the
: water thrown up would have to be drawn
q from the river? he replied that it would,
. with small exception. Some new
springs have been drawn upon, bnt they
supply only 81, 900 gallons daily, Again,
Q he said that if the penitentiary should
i use l00-horse power fox their supply
continuously twenty-fou: hours, the
supply of l.5O0. 900 gallons day could
: not be put into the reservoir for the use
i OF the city.
