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

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.
