WATER WORKS.
Itsmized Report Of Trustees.

The excessive dry weather of 1871 COM
PEELED the Substitution of a more econo.
mieal water wheel for domestic purposes,
and the continued dry weather of 1872
made the water power so unreliable for
hre purposes that it became necessary to
put IN. steam pump and pair of boilers.
while all this cost money the trustees feel
fconhdent 1t was money well expended,
and that with the steam pump to fall
6ack on IN an emergency, the Water
/ Works are more efficient and reliable than
ever before. , iiln.
The trustees beg leave to submit here,
| with summary of the labor performed as
above referred to during each of the three
above mentioned years odI
In the'late fall of 1870 and in the year
1871, the following:

l,52l feet inch cement lined pipe tex
tenslon) on Mulberry street.
Also were put in during this year
number of fire hydrants and CRATES, and
a new shut off above wheel-house in the
race, and a new Eclipse Doable Tubin
wheel at cost of $780,
In 1872 the following extra work was
done
232 feet / inch galvanized pipe (exten-
sIon) on North Walnut street.
$40 feet 4 inch cement pipe Qowered)
on East Third street.
660 feet inch cement lined pipe Qow-
ersd) on East Tuscarawas street.
883 feet 4 inch cement lined pipe (low-
ered) on Liberty street.
81 feet inch cement lined pipe (lower
edl on South Market street
In 1873 the following - -e
500 feet 4 inch cement lined pipe Qow-
ered) on South Market street.
l,544 feet 6 inch cast iron pipe new
laid on Navarro street.
| l054 feet inch cast iron pipe new
laid on Navarro street H" .
SO feet inch cement lined pipe (new)
laid on Navarro street, with five hydrants
and CRATES.
During the winter of 1S72-'73 and early
spring of 1873, the steam pump and boil
ers were put in, which, with the pump
and boiler house. cost Sc, 100 bio -s
The condition of the cement lined pipe
after four years use, has satisfied the trps
tees that it would be very poor economy
TO lay any more of it, and hence the sub
sJitution Of cast iron pipe, used in the
| extension laid on Navarro street in 1873.
The aggregate cost of the above named
| extensions, improvements and relaying Of
pipe, was not far from $40, 900, and as all
this was IN addition to the ordinary ex-
pense of managing and keeping the works
in good repair, the trustees deem 1t prop
| er that this tatement should accompany
the report. 20 1taH tsl ..I i
| During the summer of 1872 the supply
of water from the Lake ceased entirely,
and 1t became necessary TO take the SUP
ply from the creek The supply pipe
frofn the Lake to within 1000 feet Of the
Relief Tower, being in such a bad and
leaky condition, the trustees through it
| best not to tura on the Lake water, as 1T
would in very short time reduce the
water in the bake 10 below the supply
pipe and waste away the greater part Of
the water. .i.... .i.. .t.-.,f,7.. f.s.,.
The trustees are of the opinion that 10
utilize the Lake water, it win become nee
essary to relay about 1000 feet of supply
pipe this side of the Lake, with good close
pipe this would necessitate an expendi-
ture ofsome twenty or thirty thousand
j dollars. -. ~. ~ -. -..-.'
