TEE New RESERVOIR - There is still some
little patching to do In the brick-work.of the
first compartment of the new reservoir, and
the coping will then be finished. q number
Of the hands have also. been engaged in
sweeping out the basin preparatory TO pump
ing In the water. It is believed that the pre-.
sent pumps will be amply sufficient to lift
the water into the new reservoir. E
Mr.. Johnston, of the City Epgineer's de.
partment; Is now busiy engaged in making
q map of the water.pipes Of the city, inelud.
ing the present pump-house, the old and the
new reservoir, and proposed extension to the
three.miIe locks and the fairgrounds. This
ia done with view Of carrying the water to
the fairgrounds, and for use when the
necessity arises for pump.house of greater
capacity than the present one, and is intend
ed to give general idea Of the country in
that vicinity.
Workmen are now grading a handsome
avenue sixty feet wide around the reservoir.
Other improvements and embellishments
will be pushed forward as rapidly as possi.
Bile, and IL the weather continues mild all the
brick. work can probably be completed in
one. compartment, and in ten. days be ready
to receive the water. ~ @
