The imaoes appearing here are the best quality

of the original copy and in Iceeping with the
filming contract specifications.
Original copies In printed paper covers are filmed
beginning with the front cover and ending on
the last page with a printed or illustrated impree-
sion, or the bacic cover when appropriate. All
other original copies are filmed beginning on the
first page with a printed or Illustrated Impres-

or illustrated impression.
The last recorded frame on each microfiche
shall contain the symbol ^^> (meaning "CON-
TINUED"), or the symbol y (meaning "END"),
whichever applies.
Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at
different reduction ratios. Those too large to be
entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:

Tiic water having fallen away from the highest streets uilliin the City,

'I'he main is I'.at only doing all it can do- luit it is aflordinj': what with
some provision (or storage in the city ought to be an aliundaul sujiply for more
llain the present population. Of the wliole quantity of water dt'liverod into
the City not luori' tlian one fourth is used, tlu' remainder being wa.stcd — except
iu so far as that which is alloweil to run into closets or is used to jirevent
freezing in winter, may be considered ns iiseftdly, liowever extravagantly,
cuijilo'ycd. Ifthe numb.'r ol'eonsunicrs can lie estimated from the number of
service jiip'^s laid into the liouses, according to tlie well ascertained average of
INloutreal and other cities upon botli sichs of the Atlantic, the jiopidatiou
actually supplied liy tlie iiipe> in (>ue!iec should not exceed 80,000, in which
case the coasnnijition of water averages about one lnmdred gallons jier diem to
each individual ; — an unlieard of quantity even wliere tlie wa.ste is most
profuse. It will be admitted that if the limited ]iopulation now having access
to the pipes, consumes all the water intended for 100,000 jicoplc, — not only
,cxhansliug the capacity of the main but rendering it useless in the higher
districts, and diminisliing its efliciiency fur live purposes at all ])oiiits, — some
attempt shoidd be made to determine how fir this consumption is legitimate,
before any cfibrl I'cyoiid that of storing the uiglit delivery is made to increase
tlic sujiply. If t-itiua- from ignorance of the ctipacity of the works or from
irocklessue^s, waste exists, v,-il| it not increase witli the additional jucans of
exorcising it ] an<l what guarantee is there that the same deficiency wiU not
.be f'lt in n very sliort time alter an additional supjiiy is obtained ?
'J1;e slow extension of the distributing ]ii]i's t]irou;!h narrow and roel^y
■streets, upon tlie first introdiiclion fif tlie water into the City, — t]ie abundant
su|:p!y ajid ;n-eat pressure then enjoyed, together with the thorough drainage,
■(v.lii'.'ii a(i>'.U'!' i! ready means of r-etling rid I'f the Avater) Icve doubtless led to
\U unre,-tri':-ted u--e lro;ii the commeiicement, while the manner of assessment
for the water rate, which liears no relation to th'- quantity of wat'-r u-ed, and
tho coirsequr-nt neglect of siqiervision in this res]icct, have brought about the
ju-'-'.-ent aldise of the water. It will be no easy matter to malce head against
a system which has taken sucli a deeji root in the habits of the Citizens, but
when it is demonstrated that there is no alternative between increased taxation
for the purpose of laying dov.'n anotlier main, and a general husbanding of tlie
present sujiply, which is by no means a limited oni' for 60,000 inhabitan: •, it
may be expected th.it tlic hitter cour.-ie will be chosen.
While thus alluding to tlie excessive consumption of Avater in (Jueliec, I
would not wish it to be under.-tood that there is nu means of " obtaining a
greater sujjply through the jirescnt line of pipes ;"--for,— -while the pipe is

CONDITION OF Till-] WOlJvS.
Upon iriy arrival in (Jiiehee, after prepaiing a ]>];in of the ]iipcs as laid in
the city, from infurmation ohlaiiieil in tin; I'higiiiei'rs ofiiee, J ])roceeded to as-
certain the actual quantity of water sup[i!ieil liy the pipe, from Loreltc during
each hour of the twciily-fliur ; and to test the pressure at difii'rent jioints by
means of gnages wliicli my assistant had luiiiight with hiui, and upon which
ho could rely. The results of the gii:iginii,s and cxju'riments are ap[)eiided to
this rcj)ort ; — but to niake them iulelligible ] will explain lh;i.t, \\itli regard to
the first, the actual quantity of water flowing into the pipe withina given lime
was easily ascertained by means of the well in the gatt; house at Lorede, tho
dimensions of which were known, as to tho second a correct .steam pressure
guago was connected with the cap of a hydrant at difiereul points, and the
pressure upon the guagv. in })ouuds indicated the height to whieli th.e water,
if free, would rise at that point. For example when all the stop gates of tho
jiipes were fully op.^ned, at half past nine ou the morning of the 'JSth Aju'il,
the guagc indicated a pressure of only eight pounds at jMount Pleasant or a loss
of head at this point ol' two hundred and thirty feet. This proved that il' a
Silinid pipe twenty feet high had been inserted in the pipc^ at that jioint, the
water would not have flowed out ofit, so great was the velocity with which it
Avas rushing over the pijio .summit at this point to its outlets in the city. If all
tho gates had Ijcen shut the gnage of Ahiuii! Pleasant would have indicated a
prt'ssun; of one hundred and six pounds instead of eigh' jioiinds ; as this jioint
is two hundred and forty-four feet below the head level at [joretle. As it \\ as,
■when, according to custom, the gate on the fourteen inch pi[)C was shut, from
five to seven )). m., and the water ibrced round by Grande Alice to g.ve the
daily sujijily to the high district, the gauge at Mount Pleasant rose to a jiressure
of seventy five pounds (equal to a head of one hundred and seventy three feet
of water); the diflercnccof seventy-one feet head, or ihirly-one pounds pressure,
being the loss of head caused by friction.
Ujion ajijilying the guage in .St. Piochs the j)ressure did not exceed thirty-
five jiounds, eijiial to a head of eighty-one feet of water ; whereas if the full
pressure from Lorette were on, the head would be four lumdredand sixly-uinc

Works systinis that from exciisahlc ignoranee in the first place, inattention or
recklessness afterwards, plamhiii'^ is so done, or houses so constructed, that the
water (which ncvi'r free/(>s until it reaches the buildings) must then lie
nllowi'd to waste to an extent which so reduces the pressure as to lay dry the
high le^el.and, in your case, reiuler the liydrants valueless in case o( fre,
iiiiiess by closing va"lves and depiiviiig certain districts of water while the lire
lasts. Ik'sides flie injury to the valves from this constant wear, there is more
or less delay in case of fire in certain districts and the chance of mistake or
omission in opening siiid closing tlieiii. 'J'hus, after hundreds of thousands
have been expended for water,— for the sake of a, little trouole and u Ivw dollars
expended by the consnnier in the first inslauee, the efheicucy of the whole system
is imiKiiied." Tor the future the city aulluuities should prescribe the manner in
which houses should be i.Iunibed, so fai as protection from frost is concerned ;••-

Wished for all similar works (and which have jn-obably been negh'cted in
''^'chc-c for reasons alre:;dy nienlioned.) this evil may be very nineh reduced;—
but there is a great denieieiiey in the presml syste-u from the want of a reser-
voir which formed i)art of the original ;.!aii. In consequence of the premaliue
deficiencv ofthe siipplv,— or rather the great excess of cons.inip'uon (some
tliree huridri'd percent) ovir the ivstiniated quantity recjuired, it has lie^ n \no-
iioscd to adopt a system of Reservoirs, at difli'ient levels, in order to obtain the
lijohest possible discharge from the pipe. As this is a most iini.orfaet question,
an°l one upon which opinions may be divided, I will endeavour to explain it
as cloarl- as 1 can ;-"loi whili', theoretically, it promises advantages, there are
iPiaeli.-aUliilicuUies in working it out. 'ihe capacity of the prrsrnt iMaiii is in
