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

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

Mr Smith thought that Young Amerioa was a
little too progressive. If the assessors were to tell
people, before the assessment notices were served,
at what rate they assessed the various properties,
there would be no end of trouble. The speaker

Improvements at Faibmoukt. 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.
The Chief Engineer proposes erecting one
turbine and two pumps, of such dimensions as
to raise five millions of gallons of wt.ter per day
more than the pumps and wheels of Nos. 2 and 3,
for which they will be substituted. 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.
