A note wi received from the Philadelphia and trie Railroad Company, asking that Oonnolls woold designate a callable person to represent la It the atock held by the city. y wunu A batch of petitlone were presented for faollltte. for paving, grading, tea., end for gas and water lacllltlee In localities where tbey do not exist. An invitation was received asking that CoancIU Will be present at the lny Inn or the corner stone of the Keystone School, Nineteenth street, above Chesnnt, on Tuesday, A note from Charles Dixie, Esq., was received, relative to the removal of certain pnbllo duces. Referred. r Mr. Kltf-hle presented a petition from Andrew Casson, Nineteenth ward, lor compensation for losses by late floods. fc A corumnnnloation was received from Chief En gineer Graff, relative to various water works, Which being long, was ordered to be printed. lie substance was as follows: A comparison of the level of the reservoir now being built at Rox boroogb with that at Mount Airy (Irom which Oermanlown Is now supplied) shows that the first named has, nnfortnnatoly, not been looated snffl ciently high properly to supply the latter. The reservoirs are level when filled. A new main of twenty Inches diameter, 17.0(Kl feet long, will deliver, In the best condition, 786,899 gallons vtry twenty. fonr hours. This must be considered the maximum. The maximum snpply pumped at Germantown in July, 1H66, was 6-0,203 gallons. Carefully con ducted observations in New York, Boston and other cities, show that the demand during some hours of the day is greater than during all the rest of the day. The supply between eight and three o'clock would be at the rate of 1,300,51:1 gallons. A flow of 327,131 gallons Is all that we can conn denily rely upon when both reservoirs are full. The reservoir at Monnt Airy is very imperfect. It cannot bold more than ten feet of water without leaking. Its bead now Is 8 71-H.0, when Koxbo. rongh is entirely full, and a twenty.lnch main will deliver 1,351,002 gallons per day, insufficient in hot weather lo snpply the demand. Manayunk, as well as Germantown, is supplied from these works, so that practically this reservoir may be set down as useless. The late Chief Engineer's plan was not to use the Monnt Airy reservoirand by his counsel the city did not purchase It but to run directly to the standplpe now used by the works, situate on Tul. fiehocken street. This course would materially ncrease the difficulty; the main to that point will be 87,500 feet, or 5 11-10 miles long; to produce a flow of l,35l,0''l gallons at the standplpe will re quire a head of 14 2-10 feet, or fi 40-100 greater than' to effect the same now at the Mount Airy re servoir. Before these works can be started, Germantown will require a supply at the rate of at least 200, 000 gallons per day. The engine at Flat Rock will raise about 1,638,40 gallons per day at eight strokes, and with twelve, which Is her maximum, may throw into the reservoir 2,457,360 gallons daily. Manayunk, from the number of its fac tories, requires as much water as Germantown, and In a tew years the engine power will be very inadequate. There remain two means of relief one the lay ing of a thirty Inch main to Mount Airy, Instead of a twenty inch pipe, which would give a fair snpply for about five years. The other Is the lay ing of coated pipe of twenty Inches diameter, with the erection of a pumping engine and standplpe at Boxborough reservoir. Even with a thirty Inch main a pumplnc engine will finally be re quired. The department now has a means of coat ing the interior surface of pipe with ooal pitch, varnish, according to the Scotch plan, by which It is wholly prevented from corrosion. The sums appropriated for the needed work are insufficient to complete It. The expenditures of the Department to May 1, 1867, were - - 200,613 81 Estimated sums to finish the whole: 20-lnch main to Mount Airy re servoir, - - 8175,302 16-lnch main to Manayunk, 11,374 12 inch main to Manayunk, 22,121 Laying 20-Inch main to Mana yunk, . . !U,UUU 233,837 00 Purchase and repairs to Mount Airy reservoir, Engine and foundation, Engine and boiler bouse, etc, To finish reservoir, 840,000 35,325 17,063 30,000 122,888 00 8557,387 81 Amount originally estimated, not in cluding the main to Germantown, but lr.nl nrlm- the 20. 16 and 12 inch mains to Manayunk, ... 8250,000 00 tin eati mutes Is made for service mains in Man- W nun IntunHpfl t1 hfl Htllinlted tTOITl the annual appropriation for service pipe through out the City.

To lay a twenty Inch main and erect a pumping .! tnnri.riine at Roxboro' will require an expenditure In addition to that already made of 8446,775. , , . The total cost of the work, therefore, will be $647 3 '7 61 Mr. King offered a resolution of instruction to the Board of Revision of Taxes, directing them to cause to be printed, In pamphlet form, the assess ments in each ward or division, giving descrip local itv. number, and. when prac ticable, the owner of each property assessed, and to furnish the same to any taxpayer or citizan who may apply therefor. M. iZ nii h nffYired this resolution because nniH ranrivp tnxaiton universally equable. If A Is assessed and taxed for a certain property, he .. n.Mont riirht to know what B pays upon his property. "Why should one man be taxed more fhnn flfur ir cent, more onerously than bis i.hknni r.t this thin be reduced to a eys- tm It is the first time In the history of Phila delphia that ever even an attempt was made to carry out the law, and assess property at Its mar ket value.

In this way as. nid he cornnelled to pay their share. If we take the people's money rightfully, and eaca man knows that he is paying his share and no hr Mil he no bezrudsingof payment. Mr Smith thought that Young Amerioa was a little too progressive.

The Chief Engineer of the Water Department proposes making some important improvements, wutca he regards as essentially necesearj for the health and comlort ot our citizens.

It is pro posed, finally, to put in two other wheels and pumps of the size indicated, but this can only be done after the one now required is In opera tion. The sum ol $125,000, however, is the amount claimed for the cost of suid improve ments, and it will be pretty much expended in the following manner: For one turbine and two pumps, with connec tion", $00,01)0; for one SG-luch mum to Reservoir No. 2, and connections, $8500; for work at the reservoir to receive three 36-lnch mains, $3000; for bridge across the forebay to carry the three main, $8000; lor alterations to mill-house, coffer dam, pumping machines, quarrying, wheel-pits, and building foundations, $40,000.
