perfect in every respect.
During the past year a complete ant
correct table Of the flow of the spring,
or as they may properly be termed ont
lets from the springs, west Of, and tn,
drainage underneath the reservoir has
been kept and the main flow is 43, 1856
4-l0 gallons per day or Is, 1852, 67l gal,
Ions per year. The temperature OF this
water, during all seasons of the year,
is 81 degrees fahrenheit. This water
should not Ire allowed to 20 to waste,
but should be collected in a small res
ervoir, erected for that purpose. In
view of the erection of such reservoir,
a connection has been made with the
Walker Compound Pump, now in oper-
alton at Cool Spring Station, which
connection can at any time be extend
ed to such reservoir when erected, and
the water pumped direct to the Rodney
street basin.
The probable cost to erect suitable
spring water reservoir would not ex-
ceed 81 900. and the amount of money

CONSUMPTION OF WATER.
The increase IN the consumption dur
ny the past wear over that of 1877 was
H. 1870, 1892 gallons. Although we have
reservoir storage capacity OF upwards
# 4u 900 900 gallons | think you will
gree with me that we have none to
par4.
DELINQUENT WATER RENTERS.
BY reference to the report OF the
registrar it will be found that the
Imount due by delinquent water rent
RS is exceedingly large and embraces
period of three years. When the pres
mt Registrar assumed the duties OF his
position the amount was greatly IN ex-
,ess Of What it is at the present time,
,ut by patient and persistent efforts on
