The Chairman eon ounced the bra business
in order to be the report of tho Water Commit
tee.
Mr. Thomas, Chairman of the Water Com
mittee, presented the following:
"I' hat according to instructions from Coun
cils, requesting the Committee to report in re
gain to the 'present 'condition of -the Water
works, and whether any addition or extension
of bald works Is necessary," the Committee met
and appointed Messrs.- Joseph French, ,James
Themphill,'. and Richard Nutall,, e4neers of
known abilltY, to examine the works and give
their opinions in a written report to the Commit
tee, so that the same could be laid before Coun
cils in. 'a tangible form for their action. The
three gentremen above named visited the works,
but failed to agree In their views as to the capac
ity of the said works. In consequence of such
failure the committee have received a majority
and a minority report. After hearing the re
ports read, a majority of the, committee agreed
to submit both reports to Councils for-their con
sideration; with the recommendation that the
majority report be accepted, and that the Coun
cils be recommended' to commence the construc
tion of the new Water Works immediately."
The report was signed by three of the Com
mittee, viz: Mears. IL J. Thomas, James W
ilder and Alex. Hance. -
The report was accompanied by the written
opinion or statement of Messrs. James Hemp.
bill and Joseph French. After giving the fig
ures In reference to the capacity of the works,
these gentlemen say: "We are of the
_works,
that In the event of the slightest accident to
the machinery, the works will not have a suffi
cient capacity to supply the demand. In com
paring the quantity of water need in 1863, daily,
we find that it exceeds the greatest capacity of
the t*d pumps ; (running twenty-four hours per
day,) 08,112 gallons. At the same 'ratio of In
errant for two years, it will be utterly impossi
ble to supply the city with all the machinery
DOW In the Allegheny works." '
air. Nuttail, after giving his . figuies In regard
to the capacity, says: "jotter making the above
careful calculation, I come to the conclusion
that if the machinery is In good working order,'
and the basin of sufficient capacity; the present
works tge amply sufficient to !supply the city
with whiter for a number of years to come."

The Meat litarkets--A South American
Jerked-Beef Company Proposed.
The NOw , Yort: Times gires a good hint In the
annexed article:
While our hottlekeepers in New York have to
pay the butcher from 35 to 35 cents a pound for
ordinary Joints, not less than one hundred and
fifty thousand tons of excellent grass fed beef—
the yearly prodriet of the districts bordering on
the Rio Grande and the river Platte—can scarce
ly find a market at $.3 a cwt. ; that is at two
cents a pound. This vast supply—the surplus
produce of two million well-fed bullocks and bett
ers—does not represent the mere carcase weight
*of the slaughtered animal. 'lt is solid beef,
stripped from the .bones of the carcase, allowed
to cool, Jerked' or, cut up . into thin flitches, and
properly cured In that form fol. exportation. The
chief markets heretofore Sought for it, in this
prepared state, base been those of Brasil and
Cuba. But In both countries it has generally—
as we may Judge from the price—been a drug in
the. market. The mode of curing heretofore
adopted may have had much to do with the limi
ted demand. But if this is the prime drawback,
we venture to believe that, at the, present rate of
things hers, some Ingenious enternristrs will be
found, before long,•who will discover a way of
bringing some portion of this vast South Amer'.
can surplus, m a wholesomely.enred condition,
Into our markets.
One hundred and dn.,' thellaadiona of Jerked
beef would furnish over two milli consumers
}hiltaullioleat, mat diet evers a $-
, Lae year.
Eten at the present rate of exchange,- the prise
to the wholesale - 11nparter would be but font
cents per Pound ; and even if he wes. to charge
cent per cent. for his adventure, the priceto tho
consumer here trould: still be less than the third
what he now' pays for very ordinary cute, half,
'or more than half,Ahe weight being bone or
gristle.
The whole matter of the feasibility of the en
terprise, we think, probably hangs upon the
question of coring—that is, coring after a rash
lon4bat would be palatable here. When that
question is tufted the vast cattle trade of the
Northern and Central . BMWs of South A merles
—of one section of which: only we have spoken
—will coma into account in our common. market
consumption.. - And some bounds will be placed
upon the atroelotis catottiOns now practiced on
