The Reservoir
The location of the reservoir site,
which has been selected for the termi-
nus Of the conduit, at an elevation OF
oS2.5 feet, appears to be an excellent
one. and the soil, as shown by the
borings made on the site, Is Of char
acter easily excaNated, and readily
packed and consolidated by rolling into
a secure and solid embankment around
the reservoir. It's location on knoll
with low ground on three sides appar-
emily insures 1t against the appearance
Of springs in the reservoir excavation.
The borings show no rock nearer than
five feet below the bottom Of the res
ervoir The reservoir as designed by
Mr.. Adams appears to fit the ground
as well as it could be made, and Is
about the right capacity, without being
excessively large or costly I suggest
that it be made as nearly rect
angular in form as possible, be-
cause of the greater ease and
certainty with which the slopes
can be dressed to true surface and line.
' have also recommended to your en-
gineer a modification of the plan of
gate house, and connections which win
enable the water to be handled inde-
pepdently Of the reservoir proper. al
lowing the reservoir to be cleaned
without interrupting the flow in the
conduit and distributing pipes, and ad-
mitting the possibility Of emitting the
reservoir entirely for a year or
Two, If for any reason IT was
deemed desirable to do so. The
character of lining planned consists OF
a layer of concrete, 6 inches thick, COW
cred with a course of brick laid fiat
ways in sement mortar, and coated
with California asphalt, over the entire
surface. This will make water tight
and satisfactory lining, I am sure IL
properly applied. 1 think l should pre-
for however, to use asphaltum for the
cementing material for the bricks, ap-
plying a coat OF asphalt to the con-
crete, then dipping the bricks into hot
asphalt and laying them together on
the asphalt surface thus made, and af-
forwards coating the whole Of the
surface Of the bricks with as
phaIt of such consistency as
win resist the ordinary heat Of
the sun without dropping down the
slope. Bricks can be made from as
phaltum and sand which will be super
ior to any other for this purpose, and
cost no more. suggest that the speci-
ncations be 50 modified as to admit Of
asphalt bricks. and their laying in the
method described.

partment, consisting of three engine
companies and hook and lad

which averages nearly $4,000 per

capped for lack of abundant water
supply available for hydrants, placed
SO generally over the city as to be
convenient to be tapped at moments
notice. With the new water works con-
structed as planned, it would be posi-
Bile to substitute hose companies for
engine companies, and reduce the ex-
penses of the fire department a very
considerable amount, possibly so per
cent at the same time enjoying highly
increased security end enlarged efficien-
cy in the fire department. For this
service the city council should pay
stipulated amount to the water COM
mission, as much at least as the saving
thus effected. in the form of hydrant
rental. AS much as 800 per annum
per hydrant Is not infrequently paid
by cities to water companies for hy-
drant rental, while $50 is considered
very moderate figure. The latter would
in this case pay the interest on one
third of the proposed ponded indebted
ness for water works, on the basis OF
81 hydrants erected. This is not an
unreasonable per centage of the cost
of water works to pay for first-class
fire pressure.

Pumping 10 Coxcomb Hill
In connection with the development
Of electric power for lighting purposes
It would be well 10 consider the ques-
ton Of utilizing the same power during
Lhe day time for pumping to a future
reservoir to be located on Coxcomb |
Hill, from the end OF the wood pipe
At Station 81. Tie height to be pumped
IS about 100 feet above the pipe at
Station 54-or Elev. 525. It would be
perfectly feasible to establish pump
1t the power house, connect 1t with the
PeIton wheel, and pump direct to Cox
,omb Hill, but the pressure on the
pump would Be about 24O feet, and con-
ader1ng the cost Of pipe. etc, 1t would

TOTAL cost per mOntn,.'...... oJb.0O
This is an average Of $685. per month.
The city council could afford to pay
the water commission a rental Of 5000
per annum per horse power. which is
fair price for power elsewhere. and
still keep the cost Of Illumination down
below 5000 per month per light, which
is two trfrds of what understand she
is now paying. The rental thus re.
ceived would pay one-fifth of the in
terest charges for the entire cost OF the
water works. Considered entirely apart
from its normal function Of supplying
an abundance Of water to the entire
city, now so m eagerly supplied. the pro-
posed water works seem to me TO be
a most desirable investment for the
advantages to be derived from the
cheap illumination of the city, and the
superior protection afforded from fire.
The present water works are Of no SER
vice whatever for extinguishing fires
because Of the scanty water supply,
ana the utter lack Of fire hydrants.
The FIRE Department depend entirely on

The addition OF these amounts would
bring the total cost up ITO $230,S56 OF
which 10000 would be for the lighting
plant, and not striri1v chargeable to
the water works With these supple
mentary items included / consider the
estimate a safe and reasonable one.
In closing my report and completing

lating you upon the fact that the plans

me as important, in the way Of changes

briefly as follows:

be specified that this shall be- on the

and rfvet holes. have added a clause
which think will clarity this point
3. The steel pipe Is to be laid with
lead Joints. and a cast iron sleeve Is
mentioned. TO carry the lead and form
the junction. I suRRest a wrought iron

bic. and probably cheaper. 7 would
also suggest the insertion OF two inches
Of hemp packing to be driven into the
center OF this hand after II is in place.
the lead TO be poured on each side, and
thoroughly cauiIced. This saves lead
and makes a better joint As the cauIk-
ing roes not reach any further than I 1-2

Is the possibility which it affords OF
developing a considerable water power
at the gate house Of the reservoir
From the summit of the ridge at the
lower end Of the wood-pipe, to the res
ervoir, distance of $3.50 feet, the total
fall is 144.4 feet; of which 54.4 feet is
necessarily consumed in friction, and
80 feet is available for powe.'. This fall
with 100000 gallons per day would
yield 62 1-2 horse power, theoretical,
or allowing for an efficiency of 80 per
cent in the power wheels, a net so horse
power. available for electric lighting
or for pumping to higher levels, say to
L reservoir on Coxcomb Hill, or BOTH
This power may be readily utilized and
can doubtless be put to better service
in lighting the city than If devoted
to any other purpose. The best dynamos
now made have an efficiency Of over 80
per cent, which would give us As horse
power net in electrical energy, or 80 IL
Kilowaltts, which is sufficient for 66 arc
lights of 1000 candle power each. a
sixty-light machine will be the most
convenient one to use, for which the
power will be ample. The cost Of the
