have to be worked rapidly to accom- pliSh the proper results. Further the water cylinders are nearly as large as the steam cylinders. and consequently 1t requires boiler pressure of from 90 10 100 pounds to give satisfactory results.
 Regarding the boilers, they have to be fired constantly to their capacity in order to accomplish the necessary results. Many of the tubes have been expanded until when they begin to leak again they will have to be replaced by new tubes, and further. your committee does not believe that boiler inspector would grant pres sure on these boilers of over 80 pounds. and if the commfttee is right in this the city is certainly assuming grave responsibilities in carrying 100 pounds pressure.
 In regard to the wells, we believe that the four inch well will furnish all the water the deep well pump can handle, but we believe that in the matter of the eight inch well that the strainer at the bottom is too short. and that when in constant use the water lowers in the well pipe, in fact, the pressure gauge indicates at times that the water is being lifted POO feet, The six inch well cannot be used at all.
 Altogether your committee con siders the system in grave and dan gerouS condition both as to the health and safety of the city, and We, as q committee. absolutely refuse to as sume any responsibilities for any eyentuaities which are very liable to occur III it's present condition. and earnestly recommend that some ac- tion be taken at once to rebuild this system of water works. so that the city may rest assured of constant and safe service, not only this present year, but for at least the next ten years. The failure of this plant for two weeks even, at this time of year, would be almost sure to breed an epidemic, or in case of any obstinate tire, the results be disastrous. and these risks your committee does not care to assume, and believe that the people of this city should understand the entire situation as we do.
 All of which is respectfully sub mitted
