To the Hon. Leon Bertoli, Administrator of Water.
works and Public Buildings:
At your request have made careful
mi ion ~ ho xxpr du;t nj 1aaA
ing from the two engines to the river, and
find, owing to the accretiOns of the batture,
that the supply of water is now limited,
and liable to be cut of if the river should
continue to fall. l would therefore re-
spectfully recommend that the said pipe be
extended at least twenty feet into the river.
l would also recommend that the wharf
above and the one below the pipes be ex.
tended into the river, so that they will
form protection for the cribs covering the.
pipes.
The probable cost of the work would be
ca follows:
100 piles, at $40 per pile ........ $1,000
10000 feet of 3xl2 lumber, at SIS
per lU0O. ............... 45O
5000 pounds of cast iron, at six cents
per pound. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 800

The labor may amount to more than the
estimate, and would suggest an appropri-
alton of, at least, $4,000.
The work should be attended to at once.
