CITY WATER-WORKS.

The past wear has been one OF the most
cVentiul ever experienced by this depart
mcnt. The summer being the dryest ever
known by the oldest inhabitants, stopping
almost the entire water-pOwer machinery
for a length OF time, the city had to be sup
Piled only few hours each day, thereby
placing il in an extremely hazardous posi-
tion. Fortunately no fires occurred OF any
note. Several cXpedients were resOrted TO.
but none proved advantageous 10 any great
extent. except the supply from the basin,
which furnished about one million gallons
in twenty-four hours. This gave that part
OF the city below the water line OF the ba-
sin, less the loss OF head, constant supply.
The sediment and trashy matter flowing
into the pipe connection III the basin has
given an immense deal oil trouble, choking
M the mains and the hydrant connections.
In view Of the short supply and the delay
in getting in operation the new wafer
power works, steam-pump OF six million
gallon, daily capacity was ordered by shc
Council August 18th, to be put in opera
ton in six weeks, which was dore III the
time specified. This pump was the one
used at the Centennial grounds, Phlhde.-
phia, in 1876, and, besides, being OF Supe-
rior workmanship, is much more highly
finished than such pumps are generally. IL
was most fortunate thing that the city
had the advantage OF this machinery. II
has exceeded the contract estimate oi sup
ply, and its performance has been entirely
satisfactory.
Fair progress has been made with tho
new works.
The reservoirs are in very good order
During the summer, while the water wa
out of the new reservoir, advantage wa
taken to clean ont the western diyision
which not only gives more water capacity
but add. materially to its looks. AT tn
