tion-Streets on Which the Pipes Are to Be Laid This Year-The Council Voted For The issue of $50,000 DebentureS.

The City Council met las: night.

After routine work Mr. Davison read the following report: --

Charlottetown, Aug. 5, 1878.

To His Worship the Mayor and Council

of the City of Charlottetswn :_

Gnrruiirnrr,-In reply to your resolu-

tion of the 3rd August, asking the Com- missioners of Sewers and Water Supply For information regarding the construc- tion of the sewerage works for this City, they beg to report as follows:

&Y.-.TEM T0 BE ADOPTED.

The system decided upon is the coni-

mon separate water carriage system with intermittent discharge into the sea by means of a reservoir, cast iron pipe and the channel of the Hillsborough as designed by the Conncil`s engineer. Mr. Freeman C Collin. There will be a pumping station at a low point both on the east and west sides of the central high gravity area which location or pumps will altogether obviate the use of siphons and at the same time effectually carry away the sewerage from the very lowest levels in the eastern and western portions of the city. There will will be no stcaui pump, large well or wooden building near the resorvoir at Pownal wharf. From cach of the pumping staticiis al- ready mentioned and the tank connected therewith the sewerage will be pumped through fi cast iron pipe to an elevation of about 20‘feet on the high gravity area, where it willcnter an earthenware pipe of a large size to enable it to flow freely with the other sewage passing at the-‘same level into the outlet reservoir. worn; ro iii: Dost; is 1898.

Toe engineers approximate estimates

of the quantity ,of work to be done on sewer construction diiriii; the year 1898 is as follows. (See pages '2 and 3 of spt-cltlcations.) ,

DEBENTURES .

The Councillors do not anticipa‘e

that they will require any more deben- tures for sewerage to be issued this year, than the $50,000 asked for in their application of 29th ult. . ‘

SPECIFICATIONQ AND PLANS.

Tne Councillors place herewith form

of contract and spesifications for the construction of section No 1 of the sewerage system. Also a plan of Pownal wharf showing the site of the proposed reservoir. This sits will uot interfere with the traiiic up and down the wharf any more than the warehouse near by. The committee ask your Worship and the City Council to sanction the selection of the proposed site as shown on the plan. Snoiild it ever be necessary to enlarge the reservoir space on City pro- petty to the west of the site remains to permit of doubling its size. The western wall of the structure will not be value- less in case of enlargement, because a central wall would be required were the ontle: reservoir now in-ide S0 feet wide.

Conn Hooper moved that the $50,000

debentures asked for by the Cou:mi=_ sinner’ be issued at 3_1 per ccat. |

Conn Crabbe seconded the resolution. Coun Nichols on took strong ground

against the passing of the resolution as the Legislature had over ridden the wishes of the people and of the Council.

He moved an amendment to this ef-

fect. It was seconded by Co_un Taylor.

The amendment was lost on the fol-

lowing division :

Yeas-Nic-liolson and Taylor. Nays __ Crabbe, Hooper. Horne,

Wlieatley, McCarron and Lyons.

The original motion was then carried. A letter from the Secretary ot the

School Board asking for the payment of $2,000 was ordered to lie oi the table.

The petition to open Prince Slrext to

Crabbe, Horne and Nicholson.

The communication with reference to

lighting the City Building _was referred to the Finance Committee.
