REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
WATER BOARD

MARCH 9th, 1S86.-To the Hon. Mayo
and City Council of Martinsburg, Yves
Va.
GENTLEMEN.-In accordance with th,
Ordinance requiring the Chairman of thu
Water Board to make an annual report
! submit the following: The total re
ceipts for the year 49, 170.12 an increase
over last year of $310.03. Total amount
disbursed as follows: Engineers salary
$4,000 Coal, S79.26; Gas, S25.25
Freights, S219.S1 Hauling, $64.29: Ce
ment and Sand, $49.05; Valves, S176. 81
Packing, Oil, Stops and Street Boxes
S115.7S; @. 2, II. and inch pipe, S39S.
81 IA inch cast iron pipe to upper spring
Sl.0l7.69; work on Conduit Trench
S329.40; Trenches for new extensions.
S324.06; Leaks and Sundries, $4,000
Total, S3,767.06. 1t will be seen by the
engineers report, where and how much
pipe of the various sizes were laid in new
extensions for the past years, and it will
be unnecessary for me to enumerate.
Suffice it to say, there has been more
work done within the past year, than for
number of years previous. and it has
been done Systematically, under the sup,
eryision of our engineer. l can congrat.
ulate you, in having done a good and
permanent job in laying the Iron Con-
duits to the upper spring. There has
been considerable complaint in regard
to muddy water, which, on account of
the supposed connection the upper spring
has with surface drainage, some distance
from our City is unavoidable. There is
partial remedy, however, which l will
call your attention to, viz: the bad and
leaky condition of the conduit from the
Boiling Spring to the Warehouse, which
should, at the earliest opportunity, be
replaced by new one like the one to
the Upper Spring, which would render
it unnecessary to pump muddy water from
the Upper Spring at wet times, because
good and sufficiently large pipes from
the Boiling Spring to the water works,
would enable us to cut off the Upper
Spring when it was muddy, and give our
citizens clear water. Another fact upon
which we may congratulate ourselves
is the purity of the water. As you will
remember, we had 1T analized last sam
mer. and no organic matter was found in
it, to create any suspicion that it would
cause any epidemic of any kind. I
would call your attention to the engi-
neer's report in regard to the wearing of
the turbines, and the pumps, which of
course causes a considerable amount of
waste in pumping, and backlashiug of
water, all of which could be remedied by
having the pumps bored out and make
them true and all right. All the other
machinery appears to be in as good work
ing condition as it was when it was start
ed eleven or twelve years ago, which
speaks we'll for the engineer in charge.
Hoping this report will meet your APP
proval, and that you will give the recon-
mendation contained therein your early
attention, | remain, very respectfully.
HI. 7. CUSHwA, Chairman.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-07-08

The Dayton Democrat says: The
talk that party organization can
not be maintained or party victo-
ries won without the help of the
offices is ridiculous. The Republi-
cans secured control of the Nation
al Government in 1860 without a
postmaster at their command and
the Democrats recovered it in 1884
under the same conditions. In five
of the Congressional elections since
the close of the war the Democrats
have secured the control of the
House without a particle of FEEDER
al patronage. And there is to-day
more danger of a loss of districts
owing to dissatisfaction at the dis
tribution of the offices than there
is from disappointment that more
have not been distributed. The talk
of inability of the Democrats being
able to carry the elections this fall
because they have not got all ofthe
Federal offices, or that they would
be more likely to do so if they did
have them, smacks entirely toe
much of the Doodle" idea of poll
tics to look well.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-07-08

The Democrats of the House OF
Representatives with remarkable
unanimity purpose to add to the
pension bills a clause providing
for raising the money wherewith
to meet the expense incurred. The
matter of pensions has suddenly
grown into enormous proportions.
1t is said that there has been paid
out 5000, 600 on account of the
arrears act and there was $60,000,-
600 more to pay; that the widows
increase bill and the Mexican bill
will add from 100000 to $15,-
100000 to the list annually, and
that there are now pending in the
House the MANNED soldiers bill,
the dependent soldiers'bill. the bill
to pension men who suffered in
Confederate prisons and the arreal
limitation repealbill. tits cstimat-
ed that the repeal bill will require

There is a difference of opinion
as to whether or not there be q gov
ernmental deficit to be met next
year. Mr.. Hiscock. thinks there
will and Mr.. Morrison thinks there
will not be. The probability is that
there will not be much margin
either way. The New York Tribune
seizes upon the situation as a suit
able text for a homily on Demo-
cratic extravaganza, and says that
cit is dishonest to say that the Re-
p%ublicans have favored as q body
the measures which have caused
the threatened deficit" In We've of
the enormously expensive mea-
sures which the Republicans Gas a
body" have endeavored to saddle
on the Government during the
present session, tits scarcely worth
while to bubble on small points,
though it may be admitted that the
Democrats have not exercised all
the caution desirable in their action
on some bills calling for expendi-
ture. At present, however, they
seem to have the work of economy
well in hand and are not likely to
make any marked errors.
But for a Republican journal to
talk about Democratic extrava-
gance is simply laughable. The
Blair Educational Billalone involv-
cd some $SO,OOo,O0O, and the other
Blair Bills passed by the Republi-
can Senate anywhere from $780,
100000 to 10000 GOO more. In
the presence of these mountainous
figures, representing extraordinary
OUTLAWS, it is not necessary to both
er ourselves for the purpose of COM
parison with insignificant sums.
And these bills would have been
passed but for Democratic opposi-
ton. When it comes to compar-
ing the records of the two parties
in the matter of economy the Dem
ocrats appear as angels of light in
the contrast.
