Following axe the annual reports of the
water and fire departments presented te
councils last evening; '
super In ten tendon tot. Water Works.
Te the Honorable, the Select and Common
Councils of the City of Lancaster
Gentlemen: I herewith submit te
your honorable bodies the annual report
of the water department for the year end
ing February 28, 1883, in accordance
with the resolution of January 1, 1879,
providing that an annual report shall be
made by the heads of the several city
departments en the last day of February
of each year.
I assumed the duties of superintendent
of the ater works en the day following
my elec! ion by your joint convention . In
this report I present te you a statement
of the condition of the pumping engines,
boilers, pumping mains, reservoirs, plugs
and step valves, en my taking charge of
the works, and also detailed statements of
the operations of the pump3 during the
past year, giving the number of revolu
tions made, gallons of water pumped,
pounds of coal consumed, and the cost of
same, as well as condition of pumps, les-
erveirs, plugs, etc., at the present time,
with statements showing expenditures in
detail for labor, coal, oil for light and lu
bricating, improvements and repairs.
Water Pumping Power.
The Geylin pump was operated during
the year 2,335 hours, making 3,571,640
revolutions, pumping 71,422,800 gallons of
water into the reservoirs.
Birkenbine pump Ne. 1 was operated
5,050 hours, making 0,086,971 revolutions,
pumping 169,781,400 gallons of water into
the reservoirs.
Birkenbine pump Ne. 2 was operated
4,463 hours, making 5,152,509 revolutions,
pumping 134,000.000 gallons of water into
the reservoirs. This pump broke down en
December 28, 18S2, and is at present under
contract for repairs.
The following taken from the record at
the waterworks shows the operations of
steam aud water power pumps from Feb
ruary 28, 1882, the date of my predecessor's
report, te April 1, 1882 :
The Wbrthingten compound was operat
ed 278 hours, making 1,007,520 strokes,
pumping 40,032,000 gallons of water, con
suming 218.211 peundt of coal, costing
$325.84, making cost for coal $7.9S par
million gallons delivered into tbeir reser
voirs. The Geylin pump was operated 453
heuiM, making 653,040 strokes, pumping
13,000,800 gallons of water.
Birkenbine Ne. 1 was operated 549
hours, making 658,800 strokes, pumping
17,128,800 gallons of water.
Birkenbine Ne. 2 vas eparated 712V
hours, making 855,000 strokes, pumping
22,230,000 gallons of water.
Steam Pumping Power.
The Wbrthingten high pressure pump
was operated 34 hours in April last, at
the time bf.he bteak in the twenty four
inch main;' 'making 179,520 strokes, pump
iug 718,080 gallons of water, consuming
22.GCG pounds of coal, costing 33.92.
The Wbrthingten compound pump was
operated during the year 5,010$ hours,
making 19,349,SG8 strDlrcs, pumping 722,
928,800 gai'.Nts of water, consuming
3,034,575 pounds of coal, costing $4,419 91
showing gedS of coal $6.06 par million
gallons delivered into the reservoirs.
Consumption or Water.
The total number of gallons of water
pumped during tne year was 1J098,851,08Q
showing a daily consumption of 3,010,575
gallons, costing for coal, pay of assistant
engineer, firemen, oil waste, packing, etc.,
$7,571.17, making the cost of pumpage,
by steam aud water power combined,
$5.98 per million gallons delivered into
the reservoirs.
The Conesioga.
The Couestega was in geed condition
for diiving the water power pumps. "When
I took charge of the works there ' was
about sis or eight inches of water running
eyer the'dani at .hat tjeje," ljut we were
unable te use this pbwer en aaceunt of the
water power pumps being se much ent of
repair, that it was unsafe te operate them
for fear of causing serious damage te the
main pipes. I called the attention of the
water committee te this fact, and en vis
iting the works and seeing the condition
of the pumps they ordered the same te be
repaired at enge.
Beiler.
The old set of boilers were in a very La
(jonditieu. Nc attention having been ptnl
towards having them. repaired after the
new Bet of boilers were put in operation,
the fire fronts, angle plates, saddles, dan;
pers and covers were all burnt, and had te
be replaced by new one?, the walls were
shoved out and had te he tern down, the
beijers had te be reset and the walls rebuilt,
the Hues were all recaulked and the boil
ers put in serviceable' condition. Sine?
the repair of these beileas we have alter
nated them with the new boilers, which
gives an opportunity te dean them monthly
and make any repairs necessary. The
uew boilers will need a full new set of
grate bars, the present ones having warped
or sprung down in the cenlre of the bar
about seven inches. When n9W ones are
put in they should be made in two lengths
as the cause of the present bars warping
is en account of their length. The feed
and blew off arrangements have given
some trouble and porno slizht repairs will
be necessary.
Additional Steam ramping Power. .
I desire te call your attention te the
fact that additional s.eatn pumping
power will be required at no distant day,
and I think councils should serieas'y con
sider this matter at an early' period. The
present steam pnnip is new working te its
maximum, and should anything occur
that this pump could net be operated it
it would be impossible te keep up the
supply of water, as the water power is net
te be relied upon friad the high pressure
steam power is net of sufficient capacity
te supply the demand. The present
steam numD has new been in operation
J nearly five years with but slight repairs,
1 hit after a careful examination I find
that many of the working parts are worn
and will have te be renewed, whieU will
necessitate the stepping of it for several
days.
pumping Malnl.
Tt-cre were twenty-seven leaks en the
pumping mains in '"April last, some very
bad ones. A section of the twenty-four inch
main broke en Sunday, April 2d, and was
repaired by my predecessor at a cost (net
including 'pipes and sleeves) of $137.17
There is no doubt that all of the breaks
and leaks en the mains were caused by
the bad condition of the water pumps,
Ne. 1 Birkenblnemere especially, it hav
ing a crack in one of the valve housings
about 12 inches in length, and cense
quently at every streke draw In air which
was pumped into tbe main and caused all
the trouble.

tember (previous te the erection of the
stand point pipe) at a cost of $247.50. The
eastern reservoir is leaking en the north
bank at the same place where it hat leak
ed for several years previous te repairs
being made, and also en the southeastern
bank where the break occurred in Feb
ruary, 1879.
Staaa Pipe.
In June last I submitted te the water
committee a plan and specification for the
erection of a stand pipe, for tha purpose
of furnishing a better supply of water te
the high portions of the city. The water
committee, after approval, submitted the
same te your honorable bodies, and by
your direction the stand pipe was erected
at a cost of 82.luG.6s. It was completed
and put in operation en September 11. The
pipe ha3 given entire satisfaction te the
high part of the Second, Seventh and a
great portion of the Sixth wards, and has
added considerable mere pressure te the
high portions of the Fifth and Ninth
wards, but owing te the small calibre of
the mains through which these portions
get their 'supply, it has net proven entirely
satisfactory. This can be remedied by
putting dewn seven squares of eight-inch
mains.

THE KIBE5-EN.
Annual Repert of the chief of Fire Depart
ment. The second annual report of Mr. II. If,
Uewell, chief of the Lancaster tire depart
ment, which was presented te city cenn
cils last evening, is a very elaberate and
interesting document. It contains a full
list of all the employees attached te the
department, together with the name, age,
rank, residence and occupation of each ; a
list of all the Arcs and alarms during the
year schedules showing the property of
the city in charge of tjie several compan
ies ; besides a fuil and correct zcoeunt of
the cost incurred in organizing the call
department.
The receipts from all sources during
the past year were $25,798 85, and the ex
penses, including the purchase of horses,
hose carts, the Hayes truck, salaries, 11 te
alarm telegraph, &i.. was a little ever
825.000. - - "
The total less from -fifty-three flres
from March 1, 1882, te March 1, 1883, was
yi,370,15, and the insurance paid tbercen
41,843.56. This less is less by $72738.85
than was incurred by fires during the pre
ceding, year, the 'figures from .said year
being from thirty eight fires I1401E. and
The smaller less of the past year speaks
well for the efficiency of the department.
The department as at present organized
consists of one chief engineer, five fore
men, four engineers, nine drivers, one
tillerman, sixteen hesemen and three lad.
dermen total 39 men. The drivers and
tillerman are permanently employed ; the
remainder of the force are call' men. The
men are divided into four engine compa
nies (each having a steam engine) and
one hook and ladder company, which is
furnished with a new 'Hayes truck.
The department has also 4,000 feet of
gum hese, fourteen fine horses, four four
wheeled hose carts, and a very fnll outfit
of harness, tools and implements of every,
variety belonging te a well regulated de.
partment.
In the course of his report Chief Hewell
refers with pleasure te the absence of fires
for some time past, there having been no
alarms during the past month ; he com
mends the vigilance of tbe firemen, and
congratulates citizens that the reign of
incendiarism has ended, life and property
are sife, and the youth of the city are no
longer corrupted by meeting bad company
while lounging about the engine houses.
The chiefs report is accompanied by
reports from the foremen of the five com
panies, each of whom gives a detailed
inventory of the men and property belong
ing te his company.
In a book prepared especially for the
purpose, Chief Hewell has made a record
of the day and hour of every afarm or fire
that has occurred since his appointment,
together with the number of the box that
struck the alarm, the location and charac
ter of the building burned, the owner's
and occupants' names, hew ecenpied, the
the cause of the fire, the less sustained,
the amount cf insurance carried, and the
amount of insurance paid. The number
and causes of false alarms are also care
fully recorded. Chief Hewell certainly
deserves a great deal of praise for the care
and skill he has shown in the preparation
of his report.

Gentlemen: Fer years I hvc
been a great autlerer from Dys
pepsia, and could get no relleL
(having tried everything which
was recommended) until, acting
en the advice et a friend, who
had been benefited by Brown's
Iren Bitters, I tried a bottle,
with most surprising results.
Previous te taking Brown's Iren
Bitters, everything I ate dls
tressed me, and t suffered great
ly from a burning sensation In
tbe stomach, which was unbear
able. Since taking Brown's
Iren Bitters, all my troubles are
at an end. Can eat any time
without any dlsagreeable re
sults. I am practically another
person.
