mending their payment. Concurred
in.
The Committeo on the Water
Works reported tho annual report of
the Superintendent as being correct.
The Bama Committee presented the
following report:
The Water Department having
been waited on by tho architects of
' the new jnil for a supply of water for
that building, stops wero at once
taken to arrive at tho probable oost
in furnishing und laying the necessary
pipes. Your committee lind that to
nnish the work intended, will amount
to something like ?51,500. Tho esti?
mate includes tho necessnry pipes
and hydrants contemplated inside of
thc building. This portion of the
expense and all extra work, other
than tho laying of pipes necessary
for conveying tho water from the
nearest outlet, should bo borne by
the Commissioners of Public Build?
ings. By an Act of tho Legislature,
tho city has to supply nil public
buildings with water free of charge.
Your committee concludes that it is
tho business of the city to place the
water accessory to the building, and
their work is done 08 far as thc city
is concerned.
As tho city ia deeply interested in
the progress of tho work alluded to,
your committee would recommend
tho adoption of tho following resolu?
tions:
Resolved, That the work of extend?
ing water pipes for tho purpose ol
supplying tho new jail, and sucli
other pipes or hydrants ns aro con
templated iu Utting np snid building,
; bo done by tho city', aud under tho
r direction and by the authority of thc
fame..
Resolved, That all extra work,other
: thnu tlie conveyance of the water ne
necessary to said building, bo charged
to tho Commissioners of Public
Bnildlng8 for Richland District.
Tho report and resolutions of thc
; Committee on Water Works were
: received and adopted.
Tho sanio committee presented tho
following report, which was also re?
ceived and adopted:
To the Honorable the Mayor and Alder?
men cf die city of Columbia, S. C.
GENTLEMEN: Your committee on
the Water Department respectfully
beg leave to offer their annual report,
viii: the condition of tho works, ex?
pense of keeping up tho same, &a:
Eugine in good working order;
springs in good repair, giving a boun?
tiful supply of pure, wholesome wa?
ter; leading mains, hydrants and
accessory pipes in good order. Tho
expenses c f tho department for the
I year past, as shown by tho exhibit of
tho Superintendent, (herewith an?
nexed,) amounts to $4,835. l?, exclu?
sivo of that officer's salary, (being
$800 per annum,! making thonmount
of expenses for ?lie year $5,(535.16
beiug some $G00 above the estimate
fixed by tho Committeo of Ways and
Means. On an examination of the
expenses incurred, it appears that
considerable permanent work is in?
cluded-such as placing a new fence
around thc upper or distributing re?
servoir; covering springs; troughs
for same; laying pipes to supply mar?
ket housG; hydrants; repairs to Su?
perintendent's house; repairs to
boiler. Deduct theso items from the
gross amount, and it leaves the actual
expenses of supplying the city nt
$?,948.46. Taking into considera?
tion tho present price of wood, (which
is the largest item,) oil, tallow, in fact,
everything that is used about thc
works, and the amount of expenses
does not exceed what your committee
anticipated. Although a vcr}' heiwj
expense to tho city, under existing
circumstances, your committeo can
not perceive how tho department car
I be kept up, giving a full supply o
I water, in a more economical manner
Your commi'tce, in concluding
their report, would earnestly call tin
attention of Council to n change ii
the mode of propelling the wate
from the receiving to the distributinj
reservoir. Tho great expenso attend
ing tho keeping up a steam engin
for tho purpose will nt once bo seen
by reference to the report of tho Sn
perin tendent. Why it ever was vc
sorted to, your committee is at a los
: to imagine, where water facilities wa
, on the spot. The pecuniary resonrce
of tho present Council precludes th
probable undertaking of a change ?
present, but much may be dono t
incite action for some future board t
commence this desirable and ucee;
sary work-such as a survey, tl)
probable cost of construction, Ai
Until this change of forcing thc wi
ter by tho sume power is effected an
mado uso of, wo shall be uuable 1
furnish water to the citizens at an'
thing like low rates. Your com mi
tee are unanimously of opinion thi
the chungo proposed will effect a cn
tailment of thc expenses of the d
partment at least fifty per cent. A
of which is respectfully submitted,
