Oertrral DeteripUem of the. PtirXtville UydrupaUiic ImtilutA
The main building Is three stories high, standing bark
from the street about one hundred feet, with a semirlrru
lar gnu* plot in front, and contains thirty to forty rooms
The grounds around the bouse are tastefully laid ont with
walks and planted with trees, shrubs, Ac. On the left of
the entrance to these grounds is a cottage containing four
rooms, used by male patients as a bathing house, with
every oonvenlcnce for "packing," bathing. Ac.; on the
right of the entrance, about two hundred feet distant,
stands a similar cottage, used by the ladies for similar
purposes.
In the roar of the Institute, at the distance of one hun-J
dred feet, are three other cottages, some eighty feet apart.
One of those Is the laundry, with a hydrant at tho door;
the other two are occupied by the servants.
The hydrant water Is introduced Into these cottages as
well as into the main building, and all the waste water
carried off by drains under ground.
THE WATER WORKS
Consist of a circular stone building, standing on the brow
of a hill, surmounted by a largecclar reservoir containing.
live hundred barrels, brought from a never-falling spring
of pure cold water in the sido or the hill, by "a liydranlic
ram," a self-aotlng machine of cast iron, that is kept con
stantly going, night and day, by the dew*nt of the water
from the spring. The surplus water is carried from the
reservoir to a fountain in the water-works yard, surround
ed by weeping willows. In tlx? first story of the water
works la a circular mom. containing the douche bath.
wfalch is a stream falling from a height of about thirty
feet, and can be varied in sixe from half an luch to an
inch and a half in diameter. A<ijoining the douche room
Iff a droning mom. with marble tables, Ac.; the rixiny
damekt. (tor the cure of piles, ke.) is one of the most com
plete nontrivannes of the kind, being entirely under the
control of the patient using the same.
There are many other applianoes, which can be better

1 lie ( hair laid before the Board the following
communication from the Mayor, which was read
and referred to Messrs. Magruder, Maury, and
I hornley, and ordered to be published with the
proceedings of the Board:
Mayor's Omci, June 23, 1851.
To (he Board of Aldermen and
Board of Common Council:
Gentlemen : I desire to invite your atteutiou
to the folWwiug subject, iu advance of the an
nual report from this office. 1 shall lay that
j communication before you as soon as the reports
ol the several sub-officers of the Corporation are
received. The accompanying memorial from the
President and Directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company presents an application to
this Corporation for pecuniary aid to enable them
to furnish said canal between dam No. G and
Cumberland with an adequate supply of water
at all times. The plan suggested is to raise a
sufficient supply from the river Potomac by
means of four pumps, the total cost of which
the engineer of the work has estimated riot to
exceed the sum of $84,000. To accomplish
this object the Canal Company ask a loan of the
bonds of this Corporation to the amount of
$25,000, to be secured by a pledge of the rev
enues of the work. However abundant or val
uable may be the resources of the region of
country which the canal traverses, capital and
enterprise will shrink from permanent invest
ments if the remotest apprehension of such a
difficulty as an inadequate supply of water is
permitted to exist. In my judgment our city
is too deeply interested in the full success of
this work, by its past sacrifices and in its fu
ture prospects, to withhold the aid now asked
for. The questions for our consideration would
seem to be as follows: Is the plan proposed
practicable ? Has the Canal Company the right
to pledge its revenues for such an object? and
if so, would such pledge be sufficient security ?
The plan has been adopted by the Board of Di
rectors of the canal, upon the recommenda
tion of the distinguished engineer of the
work, after a most careful examination. In
regard to the power of the company to pledge
its revenues for such an object, I herewith
transmit to you certain documents touching
this question, and I would respectfully sug
gest that the opinion of the Corporation Attor
| ney be taken upon this point. The amount for
which the current revenue is now pledged for
repairs upon the work is about $300,000, an
inconsiderable sum in view of the rapidly in
creasing business of the canal. A pledge of the
revenues, subject only to the prior payment of
this trifling sum, would undoubtedly furnish
unquestionable security. If the Councils shall
determine to grant this aid?the propriety and
safety of which I can entertain no doubt?1
would recommend that it be made upon such
conditions as w ill secure the removal of those
obstructions which now impede navigation upon
the canal, in and below Georgetown.
1 would also invite your attention at this time
to the necessity of reorganizing the office of
Collector. An examination of existing laws will
clearly show that a prompt and exact accounta
bility is necessary to guard that portion of the
revenue which is received by the Collector.
The integrity of the officer has heretofore been
our safeguard, rather than the efficacy of the
provisions of law. This course is also reudered
necessary by the large increase in the business
of this office.
Instead of attempting to present at this time
ii specific plan, I have deemed it more advisable
to suggest the appointment of a joint commit
tee, whose duty it shall be to examine and re
port upon the accounts of the late incumbent,
and also what changes aro necessary in the
existing laws. Huch an examination seems to
be due to the Corporation, to the late incumbent
and his successor, whilst at the same time it
may furnish wholesome and practical sugges
tions for a reorganization of the office.
I also submit to your consideration whether
it would not be advisable to continue the late
incumbent in the employment of the Corpora
tion for a short time, to enable him to close up
such portion of the outstanding business of the
office as cannot with facility be transferred to
his successor. A consideration, however, of
the propriety of this might be embraced in the
examination to be made by the committee which
has been suggested.
I beg leave to suggest that the bill entitled
" An act to organize a Police system for the city
if Washington," approved March 11, 1851, be
so amended as to authorize the appointment of a
Lieutenant of Police. After the 1st of July, the
numlier of men under the control of the Chief
of Policc will be forty-five, and with this in
crease will arise more extended and arduous
duties. The Chief of Police, however devoted
to the public service or capable of physical ex
ertion, cannot remain on duty through each
entire night, and in fact this is not required of
the subordinate members of the guard, or of the
police constables; and yet it is absolutely ne
cessary that he or some one holding equal
authority should be present through the night
at the gmrd-house to receive reports, issue the
necessary orders, hear complaints, and act upon
such cases as may be presented. Again, it is
necessary that the Chief of Police should be at
liberty to leave the guard house when peculiar
circumstances may require it, and the result
must be, that, under the present system of only
one officer, the duties at the guard-house or
that general out door inspection and superin
tendence must be partially neglected. Another
advantage to be derived from this appointment
would be to secure a more faithful enforcement
of the Corporation ordinances, other than those
having relation to the peace of the city. It has
been suggested that these objects could be ac
complished by the appointment of some other
person than the captain of the Auxiliary Guard
to the office of Chief of Police.
This would result in a separation of the Gov
ernment and Corporation police. Blended to
gether as are the relations and interests of the
Government and Corporation in this matter,
it is certain that a divided authority could not
exist together. Occasions would be constantly
occurring upon which would spring up jealousies
and collisions of authority, causing confusion
and uncertainty of action, and extending from
the chiefs to the subordinates. Unity and ef
ficiency of action by these two police forces can
only be secured by subjecting them both to one
controlling authority.
We have not the power to subject the Aux
iliary Guard to the control of an officer of our
own appointment, nor is it reasonable that we
should desire to do so. I esteem it a fortunate
circumstance that we have the opportunity of
uniting oar own comparatively inconsiderable
force with that of the Government, and of
placing tbem under the control of an officer re
sponsible both to the Government and the Cor
poration. With the addition of this officer, I
am satisfied, from personal observation, that
the police system of our city will be greatly in
creased in activity and efficiency, and will fully
accomplish the objects of its establishment.
Respectfully, WAJLTEK LENOX, Mayor.
