Whilst portion of the water rents will not
be collected being old arrcarages, the loss
upon which it is difficult to estimate correctly,
vet the Directors have felt justified in decIsr
log dividend for the past half year of 50 per
share 90 the capital stock OF the company.
From the report of the Superintendent it APP.
pears that the pump has been worked 3,423
hours during the past year. As it Is estimated
thai the pump raises %, 740 gallons per hour,
the quantity of water distributed to the city
for tue past year, Tor all purposes of consump
ton, would make the large amount OF S.lOS,
O20 gallons, being at the rate of 241. 39l gal
Ions per day. These figures are large, but we
believe correct, but if subject TO any abatement
for any possible over-estlmate IN regard 10 the
capacity OF the pump, they still show how
large the consumption of water has become and
how important, nay how Indispensable, your
Water Works are, not only to the convenience
and comfort Of our.cltlzeus, but 10 many Ut their
manufacturing persults.
Iu closing their report the Directors take
great pleasure IN hearing testimony to the dill
gcnce and efficiency Of their Treasurer, Super
lntendcnt, aud Collector The two first named
have had large additions to their ordinary la
hors by the new work which the construction OF
the new reservoir has imposed upon them, all OF
which has been cheerfully and satisfactory per-
formed, which, the Collector finds it necessary
to make repeated calls upon many OF our water
renters, in consequence OF their failure to pay
their bills when first presented, as the rules OF
the Company require. This is a growing evil,
which will uecessltate stringent measures 10 COR
