"Proposed Plan for Water' Works for Supplying Shenandoah.
NEW WATER WORKS.
. 1 . , . -. iii...
Estimates on the Probable Cost by Reputable
Civil Engineers.
A PLAN OF THE PROPOSED NEW WORKS.
A Detailed Report That Should be, Read and Carefully Consid
ered by Every Tax Payer in the Borough of Shenan
doah Cost of All Machinery .and Work Fig
ured Upon 160,000 the Result.
?SKUlfIT lishmont of public
water works was placed
boforo the pcoplo for
discussion last fall, the
Herald has done all
in its power to try and
secure some Tollable
information concerning tho propable cost
of tho works, but all requests, appeals and
domand with that end in view havo boon
ignorod by the partios who should be
prepared to give the public tho figures.
To-dsy tho Herald, in accordance with
a promise made to its readers, publishes an
interesting articlo on tho proposod water
works. It is a statement of estimates made
by a firm of reputable and competent civil
engineers, Messrs. A. B. Cochran & Son,
of l'ottivlllo, and with it is published a
diagram that gives the public a very
satisfactory Idoa of how tho projectors of
tho now works proposod getting the wator
into town. Tho roport is made additionally
ellectivo by reason of tho fact that the par
ticulars ombraced in it were embodied in
affidavits produced in tho court at the trial
of tho injunction suit and sworn to by
members of the firm of A. B. Cochran &
Son.
THE REPORT.
It must be obvious to everyone who has.
given the subject of water supply to towns
and cities any consideration, that whon an
ample supply of wholesome water can be
gathered within a reasonable distance, at an
olovation sufficient to, carry" .the water by
gravity toltho .djstrjcUJto bo supplied, .that
it ia not only the, best and.most sco.uomipal
method that can be adopted, but that it is
tho safest and most reliable in its operation.
When, for any roason, this plan cannot be
adoptod, the next best method is to oloyaio
the water by pumping Into a.reseryojr of
sufficient capacity to hold from six tq ten
days' supply, from whence it flows by
gravity to tho districts to bo supplied.
It requires no argument to demonstrate
that tho boat and most approved engines,
boilers and pump3 are liable to. get out oi
order,, and, consequently, ,thls method is
not equal in safety to tho gravitation
mothod, oven where first-class pumping
machinery, supplemented by an elevated
reservoir containing a Jimitod supply ot
water, is adopted.
,Tho residents pf Shenandoah .are now
Well supplied by the formor method, the
plant of the Shenandoah , Wator Co. fur.
nishlng a good supply of pure water.
It Is now proposed by tbo Borough of
Bhenandoah, to construct now wator works
to tako the place of tho prosont plant, and
supply the people by tho second, or pump.
Ing system,
A stream of pure, fresh wator, a tributary
of Catawissa Creok, known as Davis' Hun,
haa boon selected, and a dam located, upon
It, at a point about throe-quarters pf a mile
east of the village of Brandonvillo. From
this, dam it is proposed to elevate the water
by pumping to, a storage rpnervolr to be
built on the summit of Mahanoy mountain,
and, from thence led in pipes to the Bor
ough of Shenandoah, and there distributed.
"We. have made careful surveys and run
levels over the proposed line, with a view of
i -ii
estimating the probable cost of construct
ing these new works, and, from information
obtained ffrpm, ,reljablo parties,, .loading
manufacturers .of pumping, maphiporynd
su.ppijes neoossarlly required. In their oon
structlqn, endeavored to make a fair and
impartial estimate,
The first question to be considered is,
whethpr Davjs' Creek will furnish a
permanent, amplo supply of pure, whole'
some water ?
From our observation, and tho informa
tion wo havo been ablo to obtain in tho
limited time given us, wo are of opinion
that it is sufficient for tho purpose, and that
the supply will be permanent.
The noxt quostion that presents, itself is
as to tho best method of elevating this
wator to the proposod reservoir, from
which it will, by gravitation, flow to the.
distributing mains in Shenandoah.
AVo take it for granted that every one"
who has knowledge pf tho subject, will
agree that tho truo principles of economy
roquirq tbpt the entire work must bo epp
structed in the most durablo mannor, and
all elements of uncertainty avoided, as far
as it is possible to do so; that tho pumping
machinory must be built especially for
loug and reliable sorvlce, and substantially
constructed; that tho column pipe must be
of sufficient strength to resist tho great
pressure it will, bo forced to sutain, and?
tbat.tho djstributirig resorvpir must bo pf
suuicipnt, capacity to.rotaln atleast.from six
to ten days' supply.
From the point at which it is proposed td
erect the, dam on Davis' Run, the line, a3
locatod, passesjn a southwesterly direction,
through a brpken and unoyen country
reaching an elevation of 832 foet, where it
crosses the Catawissa branch of the Phil
adelphia and Beading Itallroad. The line
then ascends tho northern slope of the
Mahanoy mountain diagonally along
rough and vory stony ground to the north
brow of the mountain, about 12,000 feet
from the proposod dam and at an elevation
of 003 feet abovo tho wator in Davis Kun.
From this point, tho line doscepds gently
for about 6,000 feet to tho site seleclod for
tho distributing roservoir, the elevation of
which, is 818 foot above the water in Davis'
Run, From tho reservoir, the lino de
scends along tho south slope of Mahanoy
mountain, crossing tho outcrop of tho
Mammoth voin work!pgs pf Kehley Run
colliery, on tho samo pillar as that upon
which tho Shenandoah "Water Company's
main pipo line is located, and crosses
Kehley Run at an elevation of 308 feet
abovo tho Davis' Run dam, or 695 foet
below the higbost point on tho lino at tho
north brow of the mountain.
From Davis' Run to Shenandoah the
line, as locatod, is a direct one, and Is
probably as short as is possible to mako it ;
tho length of the lino from the reservoir, at
Davis' Run, to the centre of Coal and
Main streets, is about five miles.-
We have carofully estimated the cost of
constructing this plant, and find it to bo as
follows :

Dam lit Davis' Run ; Tho ground at
Davis' Run i favprablq for the location of
a dam, and as tho one to be constructed

dam with a capacity of about 1,600,000
gallons will be sufficient for the purpose.

A Wonderful Muclilue.
There is no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
ho wears out by friction. It is said that ha
is born again evory two or tbroo years.
His body is virtually re-made from food.
To rotard this making over is radically
wrong, as a man loses so much vitality in
tho delayed process that it takes a long
time to recuperate The process of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with
Brandroth's Pills that a new man, as it
wore, may be made In two or throe months,
and the change in the mechanism Is such
that tho worn out part is replaced by tbo
now without.tho usual running down of
tho entiro machine You don't have to
stop for repairs. ' Purge away with Bran
dreth's Pills, tho old, diseased and worn
out body. They are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safo to take at
any timo. '
