Your Committee aro clearly of the
opinion that it would be unwise and in
expedient to advance the rate of taxa
tion during the next year.
Your Committee would therefore res
pectfully suggest that members of Conn
ed will carefully examine the estimates
for 1875, and be
duction, if possible, in a portion of them
at least, when the ordinance shall come
up for consideration.
The Board of Education may require
for 1875, $70,000. If such should be the
case, the rate of tux for school purposes
must be advanced over that of 1874, in
proportion to the amount required.

:
THE CONSULTING ENGINEER THINKS
A SMALLER BASIN WILL BE SUFFI
CIENT.
Mr. Wm E. Morris, the consulting
engineer of the Cool Spring Reservoir
has sent a communication to William
M. Canby, Esq., chairman of the Wa
ter Committee, relative to the con
struction of the new reservoir, Mr.
Morris thinks n much smaller reservoir
will be sufficient.
Placing the water consuming popu
lation of o r city at 30,000, he fixes
the daily average consumption at $1,
800.000 gallon», or 60 gallons for each
person.
A reservoir built upon the whole lot,
at a deptli of 18 feet, would contain
00,000,000 gallons, which, at the above
average, would supply 30,000 88$ days,
and 100,000 people 10 days.
A basin constructed on the npper
half of the basin alone, would contain
281 million gallons, or 15$ days supply.
And by raising the surface of this
basin two feet (which could be easily
done, at small cost, by simply raising
the banks one foot) the capacity could
be increased to 32,000.000 gallons, or
51 days' supply for a population of
100.000 people.
Thus, the engineer reasons, a smal
ler basin would be nmply sufficient
for the wants of the city, for years to
come, and would cost much less than
a large one, covering the whole lot,
and containing $00,000,000 gallons.
The cost of the large reservoir is es
timated at $183,000, and of the smaller
one at $80,000. The latter estimate
includes the cost of filling the bottom
and making the basin have a uniform
depth of 18 feet.
The adopted elevation of the smaller
reservoir will be 15 feet above the over
flow of the basin at Tenth and Market
streets.
In conclusion tho engineer recom
mends the city to build the smaller
reservoir.
The City Council will meet In spe
cial session this afternoon, view the
reservoir lot, and then consider the
communication.

recently employed as errand boy in a dry
good store on East Second, near Market.
Simon Washington is a half-witted col
ored man, who does odd jobs for the
butchers of the Second street Markes
house, and is a butt for almost every
body's ridicule.
Yesterday afternoon, while Simon waa
standing near the Market house, a boy
threw a piece of meat at him, which so
angered him that he seised a pieoe of
brick and threw it violently at the sup
posed offender. Just as he threw tns
brick, Georgs Hardy came ont of the
store, and the missile struck the unfortu
nate lad on the forehoad, cutting it fear
fully, and crushing the skull. He was
immediately removed to hishome and at
tended to by Drs. West and Kane, but
his recovery is considered doubtful.
Washington was arrested, and taken t >
the Hall. This morning he Rod a hear
ing before the Mayor who committed
him to await further developments rela
