MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

The ReserUOir.-By persevering assiduity
and untiring care the City Engineer is en-
abled 10 make our present reservoir per-
form noble service in supplying the wants
Of the people IL Is located on the west Of
Hull street about two squares above the
market-house, and embraces about the half
Of one acre. When the city shall have
doubled its present population a reservoir
of twice the capacity Of the present one
will be needed, and a site for il must still
be looked for west Of the present location,
for il is in that direction that the highest
ground is found. The elevation Of the
present reservoir over tide-water Is up
wards of one hundred feet. Recent re-
pairs 10 the very small but most efficient
turbine wheel constituting the motive
power which forces the water from the
Manchester canal to the reservoir has made
that creditable piece Of mechanism good
for vet number Of years service. Ii may
be proper 10 say that Manchester, with her
six or more thousand inhabitants, does not
RELY entirely on the reservoir for all her
water-supply, having 4 large number Of
excellent wells, yielding the best Of water.
