The favorable reports on the petitions
OF VIM. Hilles and others, and the petit
tion Of Geo. W. Bush and others, both
asking for q revision Of the action of
Council in reference to building the new
reservoir. and construction OF = smaller
basin according to the plan proposed by
Mr.. Morris. the consulting engineer.
came up for consideration.
Mr.. Vim. NJ Candy was OF the opinion
that the smaller reservoir would be am
pie and would cost about 100000 less
than the large one; this amount could be
applied to the laying of the mains.
Mr.. Febiger opposed the report He
said it had been rumored that tina small
er basin was to be built 30 that the re-
manning portion OF the lot could he con
aware Avenue. He said that this could
not bs. for the reservoir lot was con-
demned under the same law relating to
the condemnation OF streets, which pro-
vides that when land ia not used for the
purposes for which it was condemned, it
shall revert TO the former ownsrs. He
reviewed the sigIers Of the last named
petition. aud said the majority Of them
were supplied with water from the
upper basin. He moved to amend the
report By instructing the committee to
finish the lower or eastern side Of the
basin, excavating from the upper basin,
enough to construct tho banks Of the
lower basin; and that the overflow, when
finished, shall be twenty feet above the
overflow at Tenth and Market streets.
Mr.. Farrell thought the plan proposed
bv Mr.. Morris should have been adopted
IN the first place.sand the work proceed
ed with to date. Men are now suffering
from want who should have been kept at
work. he thought at any rate the pipe
laying should be proceed with. as it
would benefit the people by putting S4Oo
OF $500 per week in circulation. The
city should do all III its power to anchor
ate the condition OF the poor laboring
men.
Mr.. Hayes favored Mr.. Morris plan,
and opposed Mr.. Febigers amendment.
| Mr.. Lichtenstein counseled modera-
l fS. II. \
OF the committee, with instructions to,
| them to confer with the former Water
Commit He did not press his mo.
| tion.
Mi BaAsI thought it Goald bs more
economical to build the basin on the
| lower portion Of the lot according to Mr.
2raefs plan, than to build on the uppe,
portion according to the plan Of Mr. Nor.
9is. he favored o. large basin, and
thought one holding ten days supply
was scarcely sufficient. The water sup.
ply now is dangerously short and should
be Increased.
Mr.. WIN, "a. CANDY thought the r,lG,
tive cost OF building the BASIN on the
upper or lower eal. VI the lot should be
.scertained and considered.
