Fifteen petitions for the extension of main distribution pipee were received and eleven orders were passed by the Coiincil. Six were to be made, provided the petitioners would pay a special rate, and Liicknow Street. and Young Avenue mains were laid on the side of the sewer trench.

Sixteen pipe exwneioiis were made. thirteeii of white-11 were in

the high service district.

tion of the present high service district from the low service mains,

as any improvement in the latter will be required to meet the increas-

ed demand as the service is extended North and South.

The fourth and greatest cause of the present condition of the

high service is the unnecessary waste of water. There is no doubt

that. if the waste were stopped the capacity of the works would be

doubled. It. is not at all unusual to find taps running at the rate of

one gallon a minute and 3500 at that rate would consume almost. the

entire a\'ailahl<- supply to the Whole Cit._\_'.

The }J1'i11('l]_}al causes of waste are bad plmnbiug, pipes and fix-

ture.-; exposed outside huiltlings, water closets supplied through hop

per cocks, buildings poorly constructed with no provision to prevent

f1'ee'x.i11g of water in pipes, and ca1'ele~ss11ess of consumers.

\\"hilc it must. he admitted that the prevention of waste is a difii-

eult. ]_n'ohlon1 in our climate, it. is by no means impossible to malce--a

great i1np1'o\'cuient. In a great measine the solution of this matter is

with the people. ..-\ S_\’:?st.f.‘1Tl1 of metering that. will in no wise prevent. a

waste, must sooner or later he adopted if we are to depend upon our

present suply. T-Vl1e1'e meters are in use now the consumer does not pay by

me-

ter until the value of the quantitv of water used exceeds the rate by

the ordinary assessment. plan. This encourages the use of an ample

supply: for domestic and sanitary purposes While it discourages waste.

B)" the use of meters the waste will he reduced to the minimum amount required to prevent. the pipes from freezifig, and

it will he-

eorne a question to the water taker whether it is economy to waste

water or remodel his fixt.ure.s so that the water can be drawn entirely

from the pipes when liable to freeze. \Va.ter should he on the sarne

footing as gas and electric current, neither of which is permitted to

escape from its conductor unneccssaril}'. All new services areheing Inetered_._ln1t it is principall_v

throiigh

the old pipes that the waste is going.-

I would recommend t.he placing of a rnete1- on every service

pipe in the high service district.

If this course is not followed, in iny opinion the time is near

when we must. resort. to the most expensive‘remedy-additiona1 .=np—

SEWERS Unlike water extensions the demand for sewers is ulecreasing

every year. The length of new sewers constructed by the Works De- partment was in the __vea:r——

The total length of ::i('\\'e]'S eonstruettcd umler the Act is ‘.1l)(Jll1'.

1!! miles. The average cost for the _\'ear was $25.15 per lineal foot—19

L'(~nFs vheuper than the work done in 1597. The most expeiisive work was on Clifton and \\'illow E"~lt1‘ee-ts. The clloapest ('0I1.-=.~YI'11{'TlO11 was a nine ll’]{"l1 crock pipe sewer on Rirn1ingl1a.In Street at a er;>:5t of $1-31 per foot. Three sewers. Prince Street. Birmingham Street and Luck- now Street cost less than the amount assessed on the property owners, the profit to the (‘-it_v being $69.77. $118.28 and $179.44 respective- l_v. The total cost of sewers wa.~: $3623.92 of whit-l1 $9151.23-1 was assessed on abiitting properties.

Fr.-1-t_y—nine eon:-rete eatchpits were eons-triieted. n1akin,r_- a total of 660.

_ The most important. tirork \\-'l1i('ll the T)epartment had to deal with in this service was the

Y"OT’.\T‘ .'-\VE_\'['F. SEWER. A petition for a sewer in Atlantic Street and Young Avenue was re- ferred to the (_‘it_\' Engineer in 1892 and on April 15th of that year a report was submitted. There were at t.’hat time no houses on Young Arenue and only five on Atlantic Street which n-'ould he benefited. Wliile admitting the desirability of t.he impnoveinent. the report claimed that it was not a necessity and under the existing circum- stances I declined to 1'ec-omrnecnd its eonsI':rue,tion.

Notliing more was heart! of the inatter until 1896. A citizen had purchased two lots on Young Avenue and was erecting a small house and shop. A member of the Council called the attention of that body to the building and urged that as a large sum of inoney had been ex-

pended in oonstructing; and grading the Avenue and in order to carry out the purpose of Sir William Young (who had. provided the

ziioixeyj it would be desirable to have a better class of houses erected along this street. The Council had an Act prepared to eairf out these views but were met before the Legislature by some of the property mvrn-is who opposed the passing of the hill unless they were given a.

fllllll. ]n'n glue. The Amended Act (Cl1ap. 28 Acts of 1896) was the re- sult. It 1J1'o\‘ir.l(:s that no ‘house shall be erected on the Ave1n1e‘to cost less than $5000. but adds the condition that the ("J-it-_§' must construct a sewer and extend the water as soon as four houses are in course of erection. This latter condition was not snhniitted to the (‘itv Coun-

cil Inn‘ haul the Cit)‘ Eiigimter any knowledge of it until it. heeaine

law. nor was he consulted in reference to the sewer‘ from the date of

his r<-fnsal to 1-econnnend it in 1892 until the Act was passed in 1896 compelling tln-. (lit-3‘ to build it-. _

ln .\'u\'e111her "1898 the prope1't\' owners sulnnim~d a petition

to the City ("ronncil asking: for the sewer and it was 1'efei-1-ezl to the

C‘-it_v l7.ng'ineer for report. Under the terms. of the Act it the duty

of that of’Ficer to determine the route along which it is neeessaijxi to

locate. the outlet for the drainage of Young .-Xvenue. The report made April 15th,‘ 1892, states that the “sewer on

Toiingx .-\ven11e will find an outlet down .-\t.lan1ic Street. The origin- al tleslgn was for an outlet at the foot of Atlantic Street. It would be advisable. liowever. to avoid new outlets wherever possihle and in

this ‘l1ISl‘.FII1I.'€' it would he better to connect along Pleasant Street with

the outlet at the foot of Inglis Street.” At the time of inahing that report. I had beetn less than a

_\-‘car

in the ser_vi<-e of the City. The opinion quoted albove was hosed on the data contained in the records of the Cir)‘ Enrcineeris 0’dic.e. The de- sign for the City sewera.;*e sjvsteni was made in 1878. The heaviest rain storm on record at that time was at the rate. of .38 inches per.

hour and of short duration (about half an ‘hour only}. The cap-at-it._v

of our sewers was made sufficient to carr_\‘ oil what. was supposed To be the lzcarieet -rainfall. Finding that the sewe.-1's were overtaxed during-

heav_v rains we made ea-reful detailed daily records showing the quan-

tity of water falling and the duration of each" storm. In one year

(1896) we had one storm lasting 9.5 lmuis with an average rainfall of .33 inches per hour.

in the latter storm the quantity of water to be into the harbor wag two and one—half times greater than the sewers were designed to carry and the surplus found its way over the surface and through natural channels, many cellars asutforing in consequence.

Under and}: conditions it would be madness to think for one mo- ment. of ernptying more zaewerage through the Esplanade outlet or to t_’.\']«('rl; it. to carry 30,000 g‘:1llU1|.-5 more per minute Wllit‘-ll would he‘ diacliargecl by the Young‘ Avenue. and At.la.nt.ic Street. sen-'e1'.
