CITY AND SUBURBAN.
Allegheny Water Supply.
To the. Honorable S'eleet and Common
Cotencits of Allegheny City:
- _ The undersigned citizens of Allegheny
respectfully invite the attention of your
Honorable bodies to the accompanying
report of W. Milnor Roberts, Esq., Con
sulting Engineer, &c., on the subject of
the new Pittsburgh water works. 1
From the report it appears thit the en
gineer's approximate , estimate of the
cost of complete works to supply a popu-
Lstion of 500,00 D souls, with pure water
taken from the Allegheny river, at a
point beyond the drainage of Et at Lib
erty and Sharpsburg, 1E1.0,210,000.
That such part ofl this general plan as
would answer the purpose of the 'next
few years, could be erected for the sum
of 51,663,000. _ -
That the cost of works:of like capacity,
using water. power to be created by the
construction of a darn across the All&.
gheny river, Instead 'of steam power, is
now estimated itt $3,098.000.
That on the water -power plan an ex
penditure of 114663,000 Within the next
two or three years would supply about
double the.present Capacity of tbe Pitts
burgh water Works.
That' the daily cost of the supply by
water power would probably bel only
one-third of the cost of an equal supply
by steam power, and that for this and
other reasonsic.is quite probable that the
water power. for this purpose will" be
found preferable to steam-power. ' •
.:1'
, The same considerations which haVe
compelled the-Councils of Pittsburgh to,
examine the subject here presented, haVe
already pressed themselves upon the atl
tention of your honorable bodies such.
the people of Allegheny. The reports of
the Wirer Committee go to show that the
present works barely supply the con
sumption' for ordinary purposes. The
rapid increase of our ,population, the
Safety of the property of the citizen and
the present and prospective requirements
for municipal cleanliness And einbel
lishment, 'seem to demand \ that early,
.if not immediate measure.S., be taken.
to increase , the quantity of water suPr ;
plied. Even if this were not the case,!
a feasonable care for'the health of the
present population will shortly compel,
the removal of the source of supply.toc.
some point beyond the corporation lim
its. Should the Pittsburgh project be car
ried out, this consideration, coupled with-',
the ease with which they can receive
their suppliee of water across the river,
will probably induce the enterprisling
oug,ha.„ of Snarpsburg and Etna to con
nect themselves with our sister corpora
tion instead of our own.
• If we assume that half the sum estima
ted for the new Pittsburgh water works 7
'will suffice to erect water 'works at some
point above Sharpsburg, with, the neces
sary basin conduits, &c., of a capacity
- suitable to the prospective increase of
population in Allegheny for a reasonable
term of. years, we find that the expendi
ture of the two cities for thiS purpose
would be—
Pittsburgh.
Allegheny
Making an aggregate sum 0f—5.1,815,000
• The undersigned believe that it is en
tirely practicable for the city of Alle
gheny to receive her supplies of
Water from the works projected by
the city of Pittsburgh—that the quantity
Of water proposed to be supplied thereby
.would be ample for both corporations for
many years, and that by concert of action
in the construction and arrangement o f
the works, conduits, basiris,, etc., a large
sum—probably not less than a million
and a half dollars—can be saved to the
tax payers of the two cities.
Should the
.water power plan be
adopted, the advantage of .co-operation is
atIU more apparent. ,The location of the
dam across the river at *point which,
would answer the purpose for both cities,
would result in a large saving, even if
the other part of the works should be
constructed independently by each.
, In view of these considerations, the
_ undersigned deem it proper to memorial
ize your honorable bodies tot take such
action as will lead to a conference with
the authorities of Pittsburgh, with a
view to seeure the erection of Water
Works conjointly, and siutable to the
requirements or both citlea.
Very Respectfully, ckc..

THE
ECONOMY BUTTER CO.
ask the attention of interested In the reduc
tion-of the extravagant coat of Batter, to their
practical and economieal system of making pure
prime Butter by the aid of the
EXTRACT OF RUTTER PLANT.
A brief allusion to the origin of this imtoi4ant
discovery may not prove uninteresting. Among
the authent'cated records of the renowned Cap
ftain Cook's voyage around the world, is found
the statementothat while sojourning fora bort
time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he
observed the natives using, in the preparation of
their food, a peculiar oil, which, upon examina
tion. he found to possess the appearance, taste
and flavorof Butter; nron farther inquiry, how
ever, he ascertained that it was simply a Gub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner, from a rich and luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneously and abundantly In
that warm tropical country. A few lea rs ago,
an eminent French chemist, while on a profes
sional visit to the tropics,.made numerous exper
iments witn this remarkable production of na
ture, and succeeded In extracting ik; conoexqrate d
essence of the plant. The formula for Its preps
'ration,-
_and the Sole Right icr its sale in this
country are the exclusive property of this Coin
puny, by whom it was purchased from the origi
nal discoverer. We cram[ for this remarkable,
yet simple and perfectly harmless preparation

per cent. la matlein the manufacture of Butter.

cause, may Warmly,' rancid, streaked or

gensiial use, by the aid of this Extract, is re
stored tolls original freshness and sweetness,

3d.—Fly the use of thts Extrict, one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter Is actually made from
one pint of milk.
4tb.—That a pure and excellent table Butter can
be made, at a cost of from 15 to 20 c site per
pound. The chief expense wherein being But

abitlchemists, fs prohonneecl perfectly tree from
any deleterious substance, the Ingredients be

Bth.—ln proof of the foregoing, assertions, the
factory of this company is mating one ton of
Rutter per day, which meets with ready sale
in the New' York lirrket, and is consumed from
the tables of the erst Hotels, Restaurants and-
Private families in this city and elsewhere.
