WATER SUPPLY OF READING.

SUPT。Nuebling的年度报告宾夕法尼亚州的供水供应始终值得一读，就像它总是写得很好，而且很漂亮。自1865年建造水工厂以来，刚刚出版的1900- 1901年出版的是第三十届，在此期间，水委员会董事会九名总统 - 雅各布·巴斯堡（Jacob Basbourg）是第一位的，威廉·R·威廉·R·威廉·R·威廉·R。McLlvain任职十年，F。S. Jacobs八个；八个秘书-B。汉斯（F. Hans），第一位，于1865年至1873年在他去世时担任职务。还有四名校长，其中第一位玛克·斯卡尔（B.年结束时的陈述非常令人满意。所有账单均已支付，有利于董事会的余额为42,984.28美元，比去年增加了9,513.59美元。所有来源的总收入为162,463.65美元； the total expenditures were $152,950.06. Construction account is charged with $46,431.15; total maintenance, $61,407.29. The meterage service is reported as growing rapidly and with satisfactory results. The total consumption of water through meters for the last fiscal year was 120,618,300 cubic feet, or 902,287,605 gallons, as against 104,417,800 cubic feet, or 781,049,441 gallons used the previous year,showing an increase in consumption through this source of 16,200,500 cubic feet, or 121,188,164 gallons—increasing the revenue $5,116.75. The average revenue received per 1,000 gallons was 0.046. Ninety-six meters were set during the year. The whole number in use is 719, of which twenty-six belong to customers who have boughtthem from the department. The meters in use are of the following makes: Crown, 410; Hersey, ninety; Trident, eighty-five; Nash, thirty-nine; Empire, thirtyone; Thomson, thirty-one; Lambert, fourteen ; Thomson Bee, thirteen; Union, three; Columbia,Gem, Pittsburgh, one apiece. The total number of hydrants set is 739 ; they are of the following makes: Corey, 245; new Mellert, 233; Tamaqua, eiahty-eight; Stillman, fifty-eight; old Mellert, fifty; Galvin, forty-nine; old Tamaqua, eight; R. D. Wood & Co., seven ; Adams, one. There are 557 gates on fire hydrant connection, of which one is four-inch; the rest are six-inch. The total number of gates in the whole system is 2,213, thirty-six-inch to one and one-quarter-inch. The estimated population of the city is 79,520, of which 79,420 is supplied, with 79,220 on the line of pipe. The total consumption for the year was 2,659,147,130 gallons, of which 902,287,605 (38.9 per cent.) passed through domestic and manufacturing meters; average daily consumption in gallons, 7,285,000; gallons per day to each inhabitant, 91.6; to each consumer, 91.7; to each tap (16,365—estimated in use), 445 2. Total pumpage (Worthington pumps) for the year, 1,292.755,426 gallons; average static head worked against, 213.8 feet; average dynamic head, 280.2 feet; number of gallons pumped per pound of coal (4,900,558 consumed during the year), 263.8; cost of pumping, figured on expenses ($11,215.89)—per million gallons raised against dynamic head into reservoir, $8.68; per million gallons raised one foot high (dynamic) 0.031; cost of pumping figured on total maintenance ($104,710.57) per million gallons raised against dynamic head into reservoir. $81; per million gallons raised one foot high (dynamic), 0.289. Cast iron mains, thirty-six-inch to one and one-half-inch, are used in the distribution; 100 miles and one-half miles have been laid. The total amount of water supplied to the distributing reservoirs from the several sources of supply, was 2,668,. 206,591 gallons. For maintenance, including interest charges, itcost the department $104,710.57 for supplying the above, or an average cost of 393-100 centB per 1,000 gallons. The total capacity of the reservoirs (Antietam, Bembart, Egelman, Hampden, Penn street and Buttonwood), amounts to 181,582,000 gallons. The total receipts from all sources were $162,463 65: the total expenditures, $152,950.66. The report alludes to the damage done to the mains by electrolysis, and urges upon the city council the necessity for requiring trolley companies to put up with a double trolley system for its avoidance. The companies will not do it voluntarily, and care naught about the damage they are doing to the pipes. It would also have compulsory meterage introduced, and enumerates as imperatively necessary the completion of the additional pumping main from the Maidencreek and the building of a storage and distributing reservoir for the intermediate service, to be operated in connection with the Hampden reservoir, and to Increase the reservoir capacity from a three-days’ supply to a twelve-days’. The waterworks system was built in 1819-21 by the Reading Water company, and was purchased by the city in 1865; its total cost to date has been $1,897,832.90. The present organization of the department Is as follows: F. P. Heller (president); Matthan Harbster; Geo. H. Felix; L. S. Fry. Emil L. Nuebling is the very able and most efficient superintendent and engineer. John H. Thamm is secretary.
