preparing speech to be delivered
against tho bill on tho floor Of the
Senate, should he fail, as now seems
probable, TO carry his point in the
Finance Committee. In tho mean
time the party leaders seem To have
gotten the whip band of the kickers,
certainly so far us the Republicans
OF the committee are concerned. and
the majority of the committee are
working like bcavers to get through
with the bill, aud up TO date they
have made no changes of importance.
Some Republicans say the bill will
be reported i'll II week, but it is more
probable that it will take four weeks
to get through, allowing that harno

IS by no means certain.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
DATA FoR THE MAYOR.

City Officials Slow About Handing in
Their Reports-1he Water-Works.
Mayor Schwarz IS somewhat disappointed
because the annual reports Of all of the city
officials were not received last night, as he
had hoped to get them all in by Jan. 8,
with view to having his annual repo 1T
from the hands Of the printer by Feb. l, as
it is his desire to establish precedent Of the
early distribution Of the compiled review Of
the years work. He expects, however, that
all the reports will be ia by tomorrow
night. when he will at once enter upon the
preparation OF his Own report after review
OF those submitted to him.
Through the courtesy of Mayor Schwarz
and Clerk Rsbarer, a MORNING NEWS re-
porter was able to review the annual report
OF Supt- Manning, OF the water-works,
which was enc of the first sent in, and
winch 10 an exhaustive report Of the
operations Of the water works
1t appears from the report that during
last year tbs 'water-works supplied 2,4S5,-
6S3, vO9 gallons of water-an excess over
1883 of 299, SAL ,92S gallons. The expenses
OF the department for 1889 were S44 POI IS
Five new artesian wells were drilled last
year, making the present number of wells
rwenty-three, of which twenty are 6-inch
wells, one is a 4-inch well, and two are To-
inches in diameter.
The report discloses the fact that it was
necessary at low tide 10 open the river sup
ply to assist the wells, and Superintendent
Manning recommended sinking the wells
deeper. He recommends the construction
OF a conduit, as be expresses IL, "of brick
at sufficient depth to bring the water
from the lowest well, and into which
conduit the water will be received and con-
Quoted to and emptied into the well or cis-
tern from which il would be pumped.
This would enable US TO know the quantity
Of water the wells we're delivering at all
times, and prevent the interference Of air,
which Is being sucked in the JOINTS in the
suction pipes that NAV not be tight"
Twenty-eight new Are hydrants were put
in duii ing the year, which increases the
number Of fire hydrants in the city to $50.
Three new valves have also been added.
Six leaks were reported, none of which
were serious.
The mains were extended during the year
1884 feet, of which 720 feet are S-inch, 1884
are 6-inch, aud 2 400 are finch mains
The streets In which the new mains were
laid are as follows:
Anderson 720 feet of S-inch.

ton is unsightly.
