f:''r,onI'.rMl1,!nt SP""" Ailed the Ohalr,
vclinafull attendance of mamberi. The lobbies,
however, wtre deierted, and will probably remain
to until tbe frot nips.
A petition wag receded asking for the opposition
oi Councils to tbe erection of a bridge on Mechanlo
etreet, Manayunk, proposed by tbe Heading Rail
load Company.
A communication wag received from the Inspec
tors of the coanty prison, suggesting much needed
improvement In the mode of convey in prisoners
to and from the connty prison. It was ordered to
te printed.
A response from the City Solicitor relative to
aches upon Broad street was for the present laid
aside.
A note was received from II. P. M. Blrkinbine
cnlling attention to alleged reflections npon him by
the present Chief Engineer relative to certain un
finished work If ft by him to his successor for com
pletion. Mr. Klrklnbine claims that be Is thus re.
fleeted upon In several reports made by Mr. OraefT
to City Councils.
Mr. Stokely meved that tbe document be
printed.
Mr. Wagner asked that it be laid upon tbe table.
To print would be expensive.
The Ohalr said that Mr. Dirkinhine had called
upon him with it, and was very desirous that It
should be at least read.
The document was therefore read as follows:
To the Select and Common Councils of the city
Of Philadelphia Gentlemen: Having enjoyed the
confidence of your honorable body as Chief En
gineer of the Water Department for nearly seven
years, dnrlng which time large appropriations
were made for alterations and Improvements to
the Water Works, upon my recommendation, I
feel It a duty to call attention to several reports,
addressed to you by the present Engineer, relating
to tbe work which I left unfinished. These reports
reflect severely upon my abilities as an engineer,
and, if at all trne, demonstrate thst the confidence
so long reposed In me by Councils was entirely
misplaced, and that whatever measure of success
may have attended the management of tbe De
partment, or the Improvements carried out,
was entirely accidental, and can In no way be
accredited to any ublllty 1 may be supposed to
possess. Believing that a thorough investigation
of the facts of tbe case will exhibit the incorrect
ness of tbe reports above referred to, I most re
spectfully submit tbe following statements in
reference to two reports upon the West Philadel
phia reservoir, and one npon the mains connect,
ing the Qermantown with the Koxborough re
servoir. The communication of April 16th (Off. Journal
Select Council, p. 9UU) does not present the subject
fairly; tbe secoud paragraph 'is incorrect. Allow
me to make a statement of the facts. In the appro-
firlation of tbe one million dollar loan for extend
ng the Water Works, tbe sum of one hundred and
ten thousand dollars was appropriated for the
purpose of constructing a reservoir in the Twenty.
Jourtb ward. I estimated that this amount would
build a reservoir of twenty-five millions of gallons
capacity. When, however, surveys were being
made, and trial-pits snnk upon tbe ground pur
chased by the city, its topography and that of the
adjoining property presented natural facilities lor
the construction of a moderately large reservoir,
and the situation being nearer the built-up por
tion of the city than any other like altitude, I
felt it a dnty to call the attention of Councils
to the subject, and to recommend the construc
tion of a reservoir to store two hundred mil.
Hons of gallons. At my instance, the Chairman
of tbe Committee on Water, and subsequently
the Mayor, Committee on Water, and several
members of Councils, visited the location, and
were very favorably Impressed with the natural
facilities afforded for such a reservoir. At the re
commendation of tbe Committee on Water, Coun
cils directed the construction of the two hun
dred million gallon reservoir, which I estimated
would cost two hundred and fifty thousand dol--liirw.
While the surveys were being made, and
Before an ytlr8,wmg8, plans, or detailed estimates
were prepared, tbe present engineer took charge
of the Department. Tbe estimates contained in
these reports are not mine, but the present engi
neer's, and a little examination will illustrate their
unreliability. In tbe estimate for the twenty-live
million gallon reservoir, which he calculates to
cost two hundred and llfty-six thousand two bun.
dred and eighty-nine dollars and eighty-six cents,
the amount of excavation estimated would leave a
cavity en indent to contain forty-four million gal
lons. Surely it cannot be considered a mark of
engineering skill to spend eighty-eight thousand
even hundred and seventy-four dollars and eighty
cents hauling waste earth to tbe spoil-bank, as he
proposes to do. All the excavation necessary is
that to lorm the embankment, and only earth unfit
to be so used should be hauled to the spoil-bank.
It Is also difhcult to conceive where tbe large
amount of masonry estimates can be used; and to
upend twenty-five thonsand dollars upon tbe gate
chambers of so small a resei voir would be unwar
ranted extravagance. Witb these deductions my
estimate will be fou nd aboo correct.
The same remarks will apply to the calculations
lor the large reservoir, w hlch he makes to cost
seven hundred and seventy-two thousand nine
hundred and sixty. six dollars ttad thirty-four
cents, where there Is an estimate of one hundred
and eighty-two thonsand six hundred and ninety,
three dollars and sixty cents for hauling waste
earth to tbe spoil-bank, and fifty-one thousand one
hundred and sixty dollars and eighty cents for
filling depressions in the bottom of tbe reservoir.
If the depressions needed filling, the propriety of
doing it with surplus earth, instead of hauling it
to tbe spoil-bank, would have suggested Itself to
almost any pne, thus saving, at leant, tbe fifty-one
thousand one hundred andsixty dollars andeigbty
cents. Throwing out these Items, and others which
simply serve the purpose of swelling the amount,
tbe estimate I presented yon will be found suffi
cient. One of the objections urged against the large
reservoir, Is the expense or malting it or any
utility to the principal portion of the olty lying
east of the river, the estimated cost by your Engi
neer being one hundred and ninety thousand dol
lars. The distance from Thirty-fifth street, on
which It was proposed to lay tbe main from the
Twenty-fourth Ward Water Works, to the thirty,
inch main connecting the Corinthian avenne and
Spring Garden reservoir, is only about four thou,
sand leet. On north College avenue there are two
sixteen inch mains, to one of which connections
have already been mode, leading north through
lhat part of the city which Is at too great an e.e-
vation to be properly supplied by the other works.
The superior elevation of the Twenty-fourth ward
rtservoir is such that Its entire contents could be
poured into those on the eaBt side If necessary the
contrition suggested, and the closing of a few
tops are all that will be required to complete the
arrangement. The one hundred and ninety thou
sand dollar which your Engineer estimates the
connection to cost might be expended, but fifty
thousand dollars would be more than sufficient
for tbe work. Had the large reservoir been con
atrncted and connected as recommended, it would
huve been more than paid for by preventing the
annoyance and loss to which manufacturers were
subjected by the failure of the city to furnish them
with water during several days of the past sum.
mer. To abandon the large reservoir and construct
a email one, as recommended in the communica
tion of July Ud (Off. Jour. Select Council, p. ?),
upon carelul examination appears to be ill-ad-
T 'in'the same communication an estimate is pre
sented lor a reservoir, to contain thirty-seven mil
lion gallons, to cost two hundred thousand dollars,
Including Bfteen per cent, for oontingenoiea and
omissions, and a twenty-tl ve thonsond dollar gate
bouse. Alter making fair deductions, a simple
statement, in direct proportion, will show that my
original estiuiaT) was buitlcteut for the purpose.
The change In location Is simply carrying the re
iervclr fui tner up the bill; not to the summit, but
merely cbunglng the site, to that it nan be said to
be dlnerent lrom that recommended. It was never
Intended by me to raise the surluce of the water In
Ihe reservoir two hundred and twelve feet above
city datum, as nothing could be gained by so
doing Tbe few Isolated parts reached by seeking
a ( n i(rior elevation would In no measure compen
sate tor tbe additional expense of raising me wwm",
Anoiher .ork will become necessary Wheu those
poitionsot the dlatrtot lying at a greater altitude
t quire a tupply. At present not an additional
hi. use will be reached by raising the reservoir, as
is now being done, and the engines in the works
will be tendered useless. These are the most
economical In tbe department, and cannot be re
placed ai less tliun tilty thousand dollar. From
tbe aorve you can judge at what cost the city will
make this alteration. Anoiber objection is that at
some future time a comprehensive scheme will
doubtlees be adopt. , which will include the prin
cipal par's ot the city under out, system of water
supplj'i by pumping from one or tbe other great
rivers, or by bringing 1m a stream from aukstance
by gravitation, when ibis reservlor win bo isolated,
or the whole system must bs brought up to it. In
another report, beating date of June lf(Ottloial
Journal Hulect Council, page 421), the tweuiy tucu
main which I recommended for supplying Gar.
InHntown i argued to be Inadequate.
A lew facts In this connection may lead to a bsu
ter understanding of the case When in uegotla.
linn with the Germantown Water Company for
the onpose ot purchasing their works, the reser.
TOir was Talued by them at fyrty-flve thousand
dollars. Vron Inspection n was fonnd that It
would t ot hold water above nine or ten feet. It
was constructed to contain twenty. three feet.
Having had some experience lit repairing the re
servoir on Corinthian avenue, which was la a
similar condition, I waa unwilling to accept It at
one-third of the price, and the works were pur
chased without It. Tbe Hoxborongh reservoir was
Intended to supply tbe district for tbe present, and
no regard was paid to the Germantown Com
pany's reservoir. There bad been, however, no
complaints from the water tenants at German
town while tbe water was kept at nine feet. Ar
rangements were therefore made to fnrnlsh Qer.
mantown at this bead. Now If tb4l thirteen feet
which the water is below tbe top of tbe German
town reservoir be added to tneone and seventy,
four-hundredths feet which it Is said to be below
that at Koxborough, And the formula, which Is in
correctly copied Into tbe report, be applied, not to
tbe greatest possible distance, but to tbe nearest
practicable route, It will be seen that ihe twenty
Inch main is abundantly large, and will furnish
sn adequate supply to fifty thousand Inhabitants
under a better bead than that at whloh German
town Is now supplied, when tbe reservoir is as
full as It can be pumped with safety.
Tbe calculation of tbe flow ot water through a
main seventeen thousand feet long, under a head
of only one and seventy-four hundredths feet, Is
simply ridiculous, as there would bs practically
no How at all. Anotber objection is based upon
tbe experience bad with a single twenty. inch main
at the Jersey City Works; tbls single Instance Is
not en (Helen t to found a principle upon, and it may
be ndded that the water of the Passaio Is different
in Its action npon Iron from that ot the Schuylkill.
The action of tbe Schuylkill water is so slight that
tbe coating of the pipe has not been considered of
sufficient importance to warrant tbe expense. The
idea that coating pipes will Increase their capacity
to deliver water Is a mistaken one. The stratum
of water In contact with the sides of the pipe forms
a better lubricator than any other substance.
The report is also furnished with an estimate
which makes the cost of the works for Roxeorough
six hundred and forty. seven thousand dollars, in
stead of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
the amount originally appropriated. No estimate
was made for a main to Germantown, tbe works
supplying that place being at tbe time In tbe hand
of a private company. The prices of labor and
material have advanced fully fifteen per cent, since
my estimate was made, but these are the only ad
ditions necessary. The time when another engine
will be required is so far in the fature that it does
Hot properly enter Into these calculations. The
works will answer all purposes, if carried out as
originally planned, and will furnish a supply of
two million gallons per day to Koxborough, Ma
nay unk and Germantown.
In projecting tbe works it wag fully understood
that the water furnished to Manayunk would be
lifted to a greater elevation than necessary, but
nntil the sntlre capacity of the works Is demanded,
It would be useless to erect pumping works ex.
pressly for the low-lying districts. Objections
might be urged to other statements contained in
these reports, but the above will be sufficient for
the purposes of this communication.
I most respectfully ask that investigations be
made Into the statements referred to, not in justice
to myself alone; tbe Interest of the city also de
mand It. Yours, respectfully,
HltNKY P. M. BlRKlNntNB,
No. 3535 Harlng street.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17, lh67.
Mr. Cat tell moved that the document be laid on
the table, and not be printed. Here Is a discharged
man, declaring that all the estimates of tbe gentle
man now holding the position are false. There Is
no use In referring this matter to the Committee on
Water: nothing can be made out of It. Indeed many
of the statements It makes we know to be Inaccu
rate. We have suffered sufficiently for Mr. Hlrkln.
bine's mistakes and miscalculations. The docu.
ment is simply a piece of disrespect to a gentleman
chosen by these Councils to hold a position whose
duties he Is everyday showing himself abundantly
able to perform with great advantage to the city.
Mr. Kerr did not desire to saddle the city with the
cost of printing the document, but as the comma,
nlcatlon of a citizen, once an officer of the city, it
ought at least to be referred to the Committee on
Water.
Mr. Smith thought that as Mr. Blrkinbine bad
long served the city it wag right that his com
munication should be printed in the appendix for
preservation.
Mr. Hodgdon didn't see a bit of use in spending
between two and three hundred dollars to print
such matter as this.
Ultimately tbe matter waa referred to tbe Com
mittee on water, which carries the printing with
tbe reference.
Tbe City Solicitor announced, relative to the
using of ashes in Broad street for paving, that the
subject was now In course of litigation.
An ordinance providing for the alteration into a
store of the premises Nos. 1115 and 1117 Chestnut
street, at a cost of S2li,000, was adopted.
It was stated that S-iitMO a year rental was offered
for each of the premises, when properly recon
etrncted.
Mr. Kitchie, from the Committee on Schools,
offered an ordinance authorizing the purchase of a
lot of ground on the south side of Pine street, west
of Thirty-ninth, for school purposes.
Tbls was opposed by Mr. Cattell and by other
gentlemen, because there was no appropriation lor
tbe purpose. The result of such an appropriation
would be that tbe city wonld be holden for the
ground rent, and receive no equivalent for It.
Mr. Wagner urged that In view of the difficulty
of obtaining any lot In the vicinity, tbe purchase
would be a wise one.
Mr. Cattell pointed out that six dollars per loot
for land neither paved nor graded was a high
figure. Even tbe street was not yet opened.
The bill was postponed yeas 13, nays 8.
An ordinance authorizing the purchase of a lot
on the south side of Locust street, east of Fif
teenth, for school purposes, was postponed.
A resolution authorizing the Chief Commissioner
of Highways to cause all the ground of the work

Also, a communication from II. P. M. Blrkin
bine, denying certain statements made la the re
ports of the present engineer, which have been
submitted to Councils. Mr. Blrkinbine makes
counter statements, and essays to prove them. Re
ferred to the Committee on Water.
Mr. Francisco ottered a resolution Instructing:
tbe Committee on Finance to inquire Into tbe
method of transacting bUEiuees and tbe manner of

parsed.
1 be special committee to which was referred the
consideration of the payment for repairs to the
new Court-bouse made a report, transferring cer
tain Items in ibe appropriation to the Department
of City Property. Various amendments were pro
posed. It was contended that some Of 'tne me
chunks who did work on the oourt-honse were to
be paid, according to '.lie report, aud others were
not to be paid. Thus, the contractor for the lum
ber and brick was left unpaid, while the painter,
gralner and glazier were settled with in full. It
was also contended that none of the bills should
be paid, as tbey were all beyond and above tbe
amount named In the coutract for building the
Court-house. Tbe matter was finally referred to
the Committee on Law of Common Council.

S. Co., Philadelphia Dear Sir: Your valued
communication of the 23d nit. has been received
by our President, and npon me devolves the plea
sure of responding (if I can do so) in fitting terms
to the generous and philanthropic evidences of
good will we have received from the QuagerOlty.
The conations in money mentioned In your letters
have come to band, and the medicines will be
forthcoming shortly.
To the generous donors we have hardly words
fit to convey onr Impressions. Tell them that they
have caused the hearts of the suffering and of the
widows and orphans to sigh for joy. Without the
liberal contributions received from our northern
friends during the continuance of the late dreadful
epidemic our association would, long since, have
been compelled to forego Its mission of usefulness,
and hundreds who have been relieved would have
died in neglect and suffering.
Vnnr Mm reannuded noblV to the call upon
Its charity, and we will cherish the recollection of
the llndnessof her citizens long alter all traces of
tbe scourge have been obliterated,
with kind rpinrds to vourself personally, I have
