Tho Proposition Submitted to Council by tho Old Water Company. Many citizens have approached the officials of. tho Shenandoah Water and Grs Company, asking them why their company does not make some proposition to the Borough Council looking to the settlement of the existing trouble. Undor these circumstances it is deemed wise to republish, for the benefit of thoso of our citizens who may not havo read it, the proposition submitted by tho old water company. The following is an exact copy as presented by the company to the Borough Council: ,8lIENANP0AH, PA., MAY 5, 1803. To the President and Members of the Borough Council: Wo hereby reassnro you and tho public at large that our offer heretoforo inado was given In good faith. Wo hereby repeat tho propo sition, viz: That tho Water Company will cancel the Judgment obtained In tho suit against tho Borough, pay the costs of suit and waive its right to claim for water supplied tho Borough for fire purposes for tho past two years, and glvo the Borough f reo water for fire protection: provided, tho Borough abandons the proposed new water works, and that an agreement to that effect bo entered Into. The foregoing statement having been read and dis cussed, It was unanimously adopted by the Directors of said company. T. It. Beddall,, Prest. P. T. Attest: J. O. Koads, Sec'y. llev.

Wo havo carefully Investigated tho sub ject, and examined thn most Improved pumping machinery, and aro decidedly of tho opinion that it is better to do tho work in ono lift, as pumps aro now constructed which aro of sufficient strength and powor to raise the wator tho required height. A pump capablo of lifting 1,000.000 gallons In a day of 10 hours, from Davis' Kun to the summit pf Mahanoy mountain, a distance of 12,000 and 003 feot vortical, will weigh about 110 tons, and can bo pur chased f. o. b. cars at Brandonville for f 25,000 00. Tho prico of tho pump was the lowest we were able to obtain from apy flrst-class maker, who would guarantee a pump capablo of doing tho work redulrod. To tho above muU' bo added the1 cost of hauling from" Brandonville to Davis" Bun, tho masonry for foundations, p'urnp house, &c, $2,200.00. Sbonandoah has a population Of nearly 20,000, and wo .do' pot boliovo it prudent to estimate for a less supply than 1,000,000 gallons per day, and wo have, thoreforo, taken that as a basis for1 our estimate DOILERS. To drive tho Bbovo pump to its full capacity, it will require 400 H. P. boiler capacity. We wouiu rocommenu iuur uuuuio, onm 72'inches.diarueterby 17 foetC inches long, eaoh boiler to contain 132 tubos. 3 inches, by 10 feet long, the boilers to bo made of best stool double riveted with cast iron flush fronts. Theso boilers with fixtures and fittings; complete, will cost $1,6C0 each, and will weigh each 20,000 pounds. Total, $0,210 00. Whilo throo boilors will do the work ordinarily, this leaves a spare boiler, which is often very necessary, enabling you, to clean tho boilers and mako tho necessary ropairs. The cost of hauling tho boilers from tho railroad to Davis' Run, masonry, founda tion, boilor house, &c, will amount to, say, fl.7G0.00. 12,000 feet 12 inch pipe from Davis' Run, to Summit of Mahanoy mountain: The water pressure at the pump, duo to a head of 903 ,feet, is 390 pounds. Tho water pressure, .duo to friction, is 62 pounds, mak ing tha total water pressure at the pump, when dolivoring at tho rsto of 1,000.000 gallons of water in 10 hours, 442 pounds per square inch. To withstand this pressure wo would adviso purchasing lapwelded wrought jron pipe, guaranteed , to stand a workiog pressure of 500 .pounds per square inch, which wU cos,t, at. &pu , per, loot, 530,000 00. This price includes tho pipes fitted com plete,, with flangeB, bolts and gaskets. Cost of distributing and laying, 1,600 00. 5.000 feet 12 inch pipo from summit to reservoir: From this point wo would adviso.tho uso of a similar pipe, butliRhtor.

Experience has demonstrated tho fact that there is considerablo difficulty with reser voirs of this kind carofully constructed to prevent loakage, and wo aro of the opinion that no closo estimate can be made, until tho nature pf tho ground is moro definitely ascertained, and would adviso tho greatest care, in tho construction of a reservoir of this kind. We havo devoted considerable time to this subject, and place its cost at not loss than $18,000.00. Sight thousand feet 12-inch pipo from reservoir to Shenandoah, Coal and Main streets: Wo havo estimated for a cast iron pipe, tested to stand a head of 400 feet vortical, althqugh tho greater portion of the pipeline will havo from 450 to 500 feot, which, however, can be materially lessenod at any point which may bo selected, by means of a check valve.
