WATER SYS1E.1I.
Soiqe Facta that Merit Thoughtful t:on t:en t:on
ktdcratleu. Following is the animal report of Super
intendent "of the Water Works Davis
Kitch. It was prepared and intended for
presentation at last night's meeting of
councils, but owing te sickness in the
family of Superintendent Kitch Le was de
tained at his residence and net able te be
present at the meeting. It has, however,
been placed en file in tlie mayor's office,
where it cau be scen at any time, aud will
be formally presented te councils at the
adjourned meeting, te beheld en Friday
evening, the 10th :
'Te the Honorable the Helect anil t'einmun
Councils of the City of Lancatter :
Gentlemen : I herewith submit te
your honorable bodies the annual report et
the water department for the year ending
February 28, 1SS2, in accordance with the
tesolutien of Jauuavy 1, 1879, providing
that an annual report shall be made by the
heads of the Severn 1 city departments en
the last day of February of each year.
I assumed the duties of superintendent
of the water works for a second term en
April 4, 1881. In this report I present te
you a statement of the operations of the
water department for the past year; the
present condition of tlie different pumping
engines, works, reservoirs, forcing and dis
tributing mains, valves, steps aud fire
plugs, together with tables, showing the
amount of water forced into the reservoirs
each month of the year, and ether items
of general interest. I also present for
your consideration the 'wants of the de
partment. '
Complaints of Lack of Water.
The water department fails te keep
pace with the rapid growth of the city.
The day of appeal was April 21st, and
while the cemmittee was iu session en
that day, there were many cempraints
from citizens living en the high grounds
of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth wards that they did net receive an
adequate supply of water. On that day
the height of water in the western reser
voir was 14 feet G inches, and in tlie east
ern reservoir 13 feet C inches.
The Eastern Hesorvejr.
The eastern reservoir which was repair
ed iu the summer of 18S0 has shown no
sign of leakage since, although in con
stant use aud taxed te its greatest
caparity.
Leu Water.
Iu the months of June, July, August,
September, October and November, the
water being low in the creek, the Worth Werth Worth
ingten duplex pump, although taxed te
its utmost capacity te keep up the supply,
lest during the business portion of the day
from ene te two inches per hour, and I
was compelled te run the duplex pumping
engine 22 or 23 hours, and sometimes day
and night continuously, before the water
in the reservoir was forced te the point
where the sianal sounded, signifying that
the rcsorveir was Oiled te a heighth con
sistent with the safety of the banks.- The
water was se low ' at times that the
engine could net get a sufficient supply of
water from the feed pipe, and I was com
pelled te have a force of laboreis te dig
out the race and let the water iu from the
dam te fill the wells from which the en-
gine gets its supply of water.
Water Pumping I'eucr.
The Geylin pomp was operated during
the year 3,040 hours ; making iu that time
2,848,880 revolutions, and pumping 51,
189.840 gallons of water.
The Birkinbine pump Ne. 1 was opera
ted C,4C8 hours ; making 8,537,700 revolu
tions, and pumping 170,7."53,200 gallons of
water.
The Birkcnbine pump Ne. 2 was oper eper
tcd 5,972 hours, making C,44U,7C0 revolu
tions aud pumping 107,093,700 gallons of
water.
The total number of gallons of. water
pumped by water power was 389,038,800
at a cost of $1.81 per million gallons de
livered into the reservoirs .
Steam rumpiiifj 1'ewcr.
The Worthington high service engine
was operated during the year 40 hours,
making 103,000 revolutions and pumping
into the reservoir 844,800 gallons. of water.
The Worthington Duplex engine was
operated during the year 5,97G hours,
making 21,293,100 revolutions and pump
ing into the reservoirs 798,492,500 gallons
of water.
The amount of coal used was 3,072,230
pounds and the cost of the sarae $4,030.08
making cost 77 cents per hour. Includ
ing pay of assistant engineer and fireman,
oil, packing, etc., the cost was $7.53 per
million gallons.

working of the several pumps during the

The ltescrvelrs.
During the year the water in the cast
tin reservoir was kept at a uniform
height of 13 feet 0 inches. The height of
water in the western reservoir varied from
14 feet 0 inches te 10 fret, the average
height being about 15 feet 5 inches.
Pumps, Engines, c.
The Worthiugten engines are in lirst
class condition. They needed no repaira
dm ing the year. The water pumps arc
in fair condition, but will need some
slight repairs during the dry season.
Damages, &c.
The late freshets have damaged the
arches ever the tail race, at the works, but
the necessary repairs can be made at a
small expense. A short time age I was
compelled te take out one of the 20-inch
pipes en East Orauge street, it having
broken. The breakage occurred en ac
count of bad material iu the pipe. The
only incenvenience was te parties having
te de without water for a few hours.
Connections Needed.
I would renew my recommendation that
connections be made at the points desig
nated in my last aunual report (our water
pipes cress each ether, but are net con
nected) and for the same reason then
urged, viz : That when a heavy draw is
made in summer time en the reservoir, all
will net ceme from a single main.
Flange Pipes Kecnmmemleil.
During the year a 12 inch ilauge pipe
was laid ever the Shippen street bridge. It
gives te the lcsidents of the Sixth ward an
additiei.al supply of water. They could
be still further benefited if flange pipes
weie laid ever the Duke and Lime street
bridges, and 1 would tueretore leconi leceni
mend councils te previde for the same
in the estimates for the ensuing fiscal year.
Steps or Valve Needed.
I would again urge upon council the
necessity of having steps or valves insert
ed in the main supplying the most popu
lous portions of the city, se that when a
break occurs, whole sections of the city
would net be deprived ei water. There
are new sections 01 lrem one te lour
squares that have no valves or steps. If
the steps or valves are inserted few will be
inconvenienced, where new hundreds are.
Improvement,
During the year a telephone line was
run, connecting the water works with the
station house and mayor's office. This I
found te be a very great convenience. If
anything is eat of order at the works, I

A new beifer house and a set of boilers
referred te as necessary iu my last annual
report Tiave been provided. The boilers
wcre constructed by Mr. Jehn Best in a
workmanlike manner, and fully answer all
purposes. The boiler house was built by
Jehn W. Reith according te specifications
and plans.
The old boilers should be put in condi
tion, and I would recommend that they he
remodeled en the same plan as the new
ones. They should be repaired and used
occasionally, se that the new boilers need
net be kept in censtant'use.
I would recommend that two tire
hydrants be placed at the waterworks.
They could be put there at a slight cost,
and are a necessity.
Receipts lrem Water Kent.
The following are the receipts from
water rents since 1874 : 1874, $24,000.00 ;
1873, $24,500; 1870, i2C,493.5C; 1877,
$29,230.89 ; 1878. $30,120.83 ; 1879, $31,
378.97; 1880, $35,930.19; 1SS1, $38,3CC
92 ; 1S82 estimated at $40,000.
Consumption of Water.
During the vcar there were putnped into
the reservoirs 1,188,97G,100 gallons of
water, making a daily consumption of
3,257,474 gallons. The mere I study the
matter the stronger am I convinced that
there is but one way te put a step te this
enormous consumption, and that is by the
introduction of the water meter. Nearly
every city of our size, and larger, in the
United States have them or are about in
troducing them. The time is net far dis
tant when we tee must introduce them.
As an experiment, during the year I pro
cured three meters. One I placed at a
private residence, the second at a res
taurant and the third at a brewery. The
result has been as I anticipated. The pri
vaeo citizen pays morn for the water used
at his dwelling house, at the present rate,
than does the manufacturer. The only
fair way te equalize the water rents is by
the introduction of the meter ; then every
person will pay for what he uses or
wastes, the daily consumption will be less,
and the department cau get along with a
smaller appropriation.
Disirlbtitiu SIhIiis.
There aie about 15 miles of small mains
laid throughout tlie city. I would renew
my recommendation made last year that
these by replaced by mains of a larger
tiizc. The wants of the citizens demand
it. I would recommend that as much of
the money appropriated for laying pipe as
possible be expended in the laying of at
least 8-inch mains.
Ne Increase of Debt ler a Year.
The water cemmittee uuaninieusly lec lec
emmended te councils the necessity of
another pump and the extcntien of the 20
inch main, se as te supply the citizens of
the high portions of the Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth and Ninth wards with an abun
dance of water. Councils passed the re
quisite ordinance and the matter was sub
mitted te the voters at the municipal elec
tion en Tuesday, February 21st. The re
suit of thaf vote is well known te you.
There were but 1,590 votes cast en the
question, out of 5,720 voles cast for mayor.
The indifference shown may be fairly ac
counted for by the interest centred in the
contest for mayor. The wants of these
living in the high portions of the wards
named can only be relieved by the exten
sion of the 20 inch main." The necessity
of auethcr pump is apparent, for if an
accident was te happen te tlie Worthing
ton Duplex iu summer time, there would
surely be a water famiue. According te
the law governing an iucrease et the
debt, which may be found en page
00, sec 17, city ordinances of 1881,
there cannot be another vote en the same
question for ene year from the date of the
last election. It would be policy for coun
cils towards the end of the year te re enact
the ordinance providing for an increase of
the debt, but te have the question voted
en at a special election se that 110 side is
sues will determine whether or net these
citizens living en high portions of the city
and who. pay their water rcut can or can
not get what they pay for. The reason
the election was made at the time of the
municipal election was te sive the city
the cxpense of a special election about
$330.
heparate Pipes.
I have ligntly adhered te the policy of
compelling patties who ceunecccd with
the water mains te have .separate pipes
running te their houses. Thcie are still
many cases wheic as many as half a dozen
houses are receiving water from ene pipe,
and in case of a break several families are
inconvenienced where only one should be.
further Keconimemlatlens.
I would recommend a step te be placed
north of 24 inch Y en the flat below the
almshouse, no that the water need net be
left out of the pipe while repair)? are being
made at .the works.
A six inch main should be laid from the
Uhildrens' Heme across Lew street (seen
te be opened), a distance of 400 feet, te
Fieiberg street. If tiiis is done the
southern portion of the Seventh ward
would be supplied with water when thcre
is any in the reservoir.
I would recommend the putting iu of a
rack, constructed of iron, in the head race
te protect the 24 inch feed pipe that sup
plies the Worthington engine.
The Heed gate at the outlet has been
leaking badly for the last three years.
My predecessor called the attention of
councils te it in his last annual report. A
new ene is needed.
In Geed Condition.
The fire plugs, forcing and distributing
mains, valves and steps are in geed con
dition, with few exceptions.

TUB NOBLE "300.
A Stulwart Editorial Defender.
Lancaster Daily Examiner.
If there had net been the 300 " in the
Chicago convention, there never would
have been a "President Garfield."
It is all very well te sneer at the "300,"
but when the battle is te be wen "the
charge of the heavy brigade " is found te
be irresistible.
The Buffalo Courier says the reason why
that "30G " medal is made out of bronze,
and net of geld, is that tee many half
breeds would have been clamoring for it.
That is about the size of the Half-breeds
in the "neck of the weed."
The "300" never quail when under
fire, nor arc they disheartened where de
feated, lhcy left Chicago with flying
banners, and in the campaign of last fall
were always tbe first en the enemy's ram
parts. " They deserve a medal for the
bravery of two battles.
