The subject of grading Shearman street (through the quarry lot) coming up as unfinished business, Mr. Norton moved lefer the matter to the Street Commit tee, instead of the Committee on Opening streets. Mr. McGlinchey said the only reason lie had made a motion (at the previous meeting) tor a reference of the subject to the Committee on Opening ÎS reeta, w that lie thought the afiair might he com promised. The contract between the city ami the Christiana River Improve ment Company called for the grading of .Shearman street, hut there wi street running beyond Pine street, there fore the contract was illegal. To grade the lot, as called for by the contract, would cost about $4,000, and the stone taken out had already co-t the city over one dollar per perch. It was an outrage for any committee to make such a con tract, and it looked a great deal like jubbeiy. Mr. Norton's motion waa adopted, and the subject was referred to tue Street Committee. In relation to the marsh bill, Mr. PaynterNaid the marsh owneis had held seveial meetings during the week, but had not conferred with the City Council committee.

He said tin« committee bad not.il« it ad •emed ibie to advertise proposals fjr taking the loan, and awarded the entire amount to one firm (It. It Robinson A Co.) at one per cent, premium, which was a yood hid for a five p**r cent. bond. Another broke bonds had been to give a little more. ^ M . Ta> lor said the Finance Committee had acted unwisely in not advertising, as they could have created an active 3 »m petion for the bonds. Now the people will have to pay the hankers' premi what ever that may he, to yet the bonds. Mr. McGlinchey, from the committee examine the qualifications of Enoch *» .Jr., member-elect from the Fifth Ward, reported that he was duly quali fied. Theeport was adopted, and Messrs. McGlinchey and Evans were appointed a commit t-«* to escort Mr. Moore to the ident's desk, when he was qualified by Mayor Allmond and took his seat. r. when lie learned the disposed of, had offered I Mi Pi THE WATER QUESTION. Mr. Paynter said the Water Commit tee desired t*» make a statement of the condition of the pumping apparatus.— The statement which was read by the Clerk, contained the following items: The number of gallons supplied during the v 1878 \v 1,134,633.900, being an ase of 171,130,392 gallons over the mis year. The daily average during Hi«* year was 3,108,580 gallons. ring Ji uiu| im P i the Worthing i73J hours, •r the corresponding month H. The water pumps run 5541 a decrease of 173i hours, consumption of water during January, 1*79, was 98,006,840 gallons, an •r January, 1878, of 13,097,940 gallons. At this ratio of increase during the consumption will reach 1,316,170,042 gallons, or an increase er 1878 of 181,541,424 gallons; and the daily average consumption will bo 3, 605,962 gallons. The capacity of the Worthington pump per twenty-four hours is 6,000,000gallons; Cornish pump, 2,000,000; of the water power pumps,l,000.000;total pump ing capacity, if,000,000 gallons. Tbe pumping capacity of the Cornish and water po to of an 79i h* of 18 i. Tl the present ye f tl pumps combined, it will be not equal to the daily average supply, and if an accident should happen to the Worthington pump, which is not improbable,when we considerthe amount •rviec this pump is required to per form, and if Miieh «lamage should require any length of time to repair, the city would suffer from a scarcity of wafer. If we suppose the reservoirs to be all full «m the 1st day of July next, and the Cornish and wafer | that time tie kept, in ill, of ■r pumps from ustaiit use, and working up to their full capacity, the Worthington pump being stopped, ttie city would he wi second day August. Agü water ftiout water upon the , the •ater power pumps anil heel, having been iu constaut rorn out aud often that they rortli repairing; scar cely a week «• lapses without some patch ing and n pairing being made to keep them together, and they are likely at any moment to break down aud no longer be of use. The Cornish pump is held iu reserve in case of accideiits, but it is not to he de pended upon, for iu itself it is not safe reliable at all times. necessary improvements to the waterpower pumps, new waterwheel aud connections, would cost about. $8,000; d a new Worthington pump and con nections would probably cost $30,000. In vi«*w of these facts your committee would ask instructions from City Coun cil, as to what in best tobe done under the circumstances. Respectfully yours, Lewis I'avnÎbk, R. H. Tatlou, A. J. Hart, Henry Evan», John Jones, Water Committee. 1827, have been repal f no 1 use sine«« Th Mr. Payntersaid the Water Committee merely desired to »bow to the people the «rouilittou of the pumping machinery of the Water Department, ; reNpouhibility with the Council.
