WATER SUPPLY

These measurements were taken here at
Richmond. The James river at this point
has NOT been quite as low this season as il
was In 1891, though IL might have been
much lower, and our people enrrally not
been conscious Of il since we are no longer
troubled about water supply.
The Old pumps at Hollywood and the big
cept in case OF emergency. The new
works, deriving their power from the Nine
Mile locks, furnish a full supply. How Diff
fercnt II was in 1881? We were then max
ing great effort to prepare the city to make
good impression upon the stranger, ex-
peeted TO pass through on their way 10
Yorktown. Gradually the water supply
was found growing shorter and shorter,
and the dust was over everything.

On August 10, 1881, the Dispatch said:
"Grcat complaint is heard from house
holders living in elevated localities. They
are without water. Yesterday there were
but five inches Of water in the new reser
voir; the old reservoir was about two
thirds full"
August 81 sin fve-sixths OF the house.
there is now heard the cry Tor water. II is
only TO be had in such localities as the Old
Market, which is only seventeen feet above
tide. while there are thousands OF houses
one hundred and iifty feet or more above
tide where there is not "A supply"
August % "To husband the supply, it
was ordered that until further orders
water be shut from the city except from
O'Clock p. NJ. to 10 O'Clock p. NJ"
On the 23d Mayor Darlington had the
water turned into the river from the canal
at point just west Of Hollywood. Next
day The Common Council met and made
the appropriation for the steam-pump, and
on the 27th the Board Of Aldermen con-
Cured. On September Sd there was re-
frcshing shower up and down the James,
and the river commenced rising. The
weather was very warm. On September
7th it was 73o at sunrise and 1909 at p.
VI. On the 9th there were very good rains
along the James. River Valley.
By the middle Of October the steam
pump was in full operation, since which
time we bave had an abundance OF water.
The daily consumption is now eight or
nine million gallons per day. There is not
only abundance and wasts-for house
hold purposes. but great quantity is used
for the advancement Of public comfort in
sprinkling the streets, both by hose and
Waiering-carts.
