"- January 11th, - $26,319 86 To the'SelebrandßiinintonCouncils . of the qii.of Pitiatiurgh. The Mitering Committee respectfully pratent brief Report of their-proceet*gs- cloring tbi `last'. year.'; Shortly after the disastrous fire of 10th of. April 1845, it was determined to remove the 4, 6, &-8 inch pipes-laid in Grant,4Vater, and Penn streets, and lay- in their places. 8. and 10 inch.pipes, there by surrounding a large portion of-te City with mains capable of affording an ample- supply for its most populous districts,. and ; connecting :With the Basin at two different points. This has been satisfactorily accomplished; and although on the course of the old;pipes, but few new customer, have beer obtained, yet„ the; pipes s'S taken up have been again laid,in those sectionsiof the city where they were much needed, and for Which they were stifficiently caPactons to affard ern abundant supply. %The first cost of the 8 and 10 1 inch mains and the expense 'of laying thern, are so much tar- . ger Ahem that of the 4 and six - inches usually em-' ployed, as- 'to render4he expenses ineurred year apparently greater, in comparison with the number of feet laid, than usual. There were in all laid last year, 16,164 feet of various sizes of OM. . The Committee regret that no_satisfactory meani have yet been devised for protecting the buildings at the Water Works from the hazard of injury from fire, to which, from their position and the• nature of the surrounding property, they. are so much exposed, but hope the attention of the next Councils may be directed to that object, as the loss or serious damage of the pumps or engines would be. attended with the moat disastrouscon sequences. $278 64 previous to the, last ,year's_ assessment of the water rent, the Committee adopted a scale of rates which ha; given general satisfaitiori,"ami they are, hippy to state that; the last yeares-collectioni ex: ceed that of any former.year, and that the uncol lected portion is less comparatively than before... The rates now charged' aretnuch loWer than in any other city, afthrding an equal supply. They bear a small proportion to the benefits derived by all classes from the'use of the water, as will ap pear fiom subsequent calculations, are not Suffi cient to defray the current expenses'of the Werks and the interest on their cost. By referring to the report of the Committee for 1844, it will be found, that that total cost to that period, - of new and Old Works, lots,mains, &c., amounts to $152,4,56 14 The amount of permanent ixten- Lion in IS4 5. was 11,660 S 6 AndAnd'the same for thelast year was 26,605. 62 Making to.rether.tbatotal cost .4.90,722 02 From whi ch the value ofe - cda Works and reservoirlot should be deducted—this has by form- er Comthittees, been estimated at $135 , 000, but it is suppo.sed that its value:does not at pre. sent exceed the sera of say And will leave the present esti mated cost of Works, Reser voir, mains, &c. &c., The current expenses ci f the works according to the statement of the superintendatit, amounts to Interest on cost, as above.xleduct ing the amount of scrip bear- , ing no interest, supposed to be 160,000—bearing about, $333,- 000, including the old Works, on which interest is still accru ing, say Making total annual cxpenset aboui To which should be added the Assessor's and Superintendant's salary paid by Mayor's war , rant $1,200 00 Total cost of Works $00,372 69 Protyrds of Wafer 1 1 / 2 'grics for 1846. Total amount of assessed water rents, per statement, , • $20,310 86 Assessmentson new buildings es timated at 1 'lOO.OO Together making $27,519 SG From which deduct commissions, , lost-taxes and allowances, &c, say - 2,300.00 Will leave as the nett proceeds of the works 25,219 SO Being less- than the annual ex penses by the sum of 5,152 S 3 The Committee beg leave to refer to the ex periment respecting the discharge of water from nuzzles off different sizes, as although they consid ered as approximations to the real quantity, they are important as forming a basis for tilt future re gulation of the Councils, with'regard to the proper size of nozzles to be used for the various purposes to which the City water is applied and of regulat ing the rates accordingly. During the past year no serious accident or in terruption in the supply ,of water has—occurred, some of the old,pipes occasionally gave way and on examining them it is gratifying to witness the improvement in that branch of manufacture which has taken place since their construction. There has been. counted and destroyed during the lastyear, torn and defaced scrip to the amount of $43,000, for which new scrip has been issued under the authority of the various ordinances on that subject. , For the details of the expenditure, the length and size of mains and other particulars, the Com mittee refer to the annexed report of the Superin tendent, arid for the amount of skater rents and re turns of the Collectors, they refer to the subjoined statements of the clerk, and beg leavelo close their report by expressing their approbation of the con duet Of those important officers .during the past year.
