WATERWORKS ass Meeting in Market Hall

— a

Almost Unanimously

Kadorse the Commissioners’ Report. WORK TO PROCEED

Tue public meeting of the citizens called by the Mayor to consider the report of the Waterworks Commissioners, was held last night in the Market Hall. About one thousand citizens were present. The chair was taken at 8 o'clock by Mayor Haviland. Hon. D. Laird, Chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners then read the follow- ing report

WATER COMMISSIONERS’ REPORT. To the Citizens of Charlottetown

GentLemeN,—Your Water Commissioners, who were elected on the 6th of June last, received on the 14th of the same month a copy of two resolutions passed by the City Council on the previous night, prescribing the amount and character of the security they would be required to give to the city. This security having been furaished, was accepted by the Council on the Lith July. On the same even- ing, in compliance with a previous requisition of the Commissioners, the Council passed a resolution authorizing an issue of Water Works Debentures to the amount of $3,000.

Immediately, on being advised of this reso- lution, the Commissioners, who had in the

meantime been corresponding with engineers resident in Canada, and exainining the various sources of water supply near the cry, instrue- ted their chairman to proceed to tie United

States and engage an epgineet advise them generally in regard to the proposed water- works. This step was taken, because many prominent citizens seemed to he of opinion that a subterranean supply ot pure water, sufficient for all purposes, could be procured near the city. To secure the services of an engineer who had expetience in tube or driven gangwells, and in large duy wells, it was necessary to go where such

‘ere in operation. Through correspondence wuich Mr. Heard had some months age with friends in St. Stephen, N. B., and wita water- works superiatendents in the United States, which he kisdly showed to the Commission rs, the name of M. M. Tidd, Esq., C. F, of Bostoa was brought to their notice. The chairman, on careful enquiry, and by visiting several of the water-works in Massachusetts for which Mr. Tidd had prepared the speciti- cations and plans, such as the supply obtained from driven wells at Hyde Park and from the large gallery or well at Woburn, was satisfied that scarcely any better engineer for the purpore they required could be employed. Mr.Tidd has been consulting engineer for some twenty different water-works in the New England States and elsewhere, and his character for strict honesty and substantial work is attested to by all who know him. His terns,were also reasonable; consequently he was engaged by the commissioners, and at every stage of the preliminary work they have had every reason to be satistied with their choice.

Mr. Tidd asrived here on the 5th of August, and having examined the different streams and watersheds within eight miles of the, city, north of the Hillsborough, recommended the Commissioners to sink test wells a few yards from the Three Hile Brook, near the Upper Malpeque Road, Several wells weve bored, each of which everflowed freely at the surface, fhe Rollo fire engine was tried on one of the tubes for several hours, but could not exhaust the water rising therein. In‘order that the subterrenean supply might be better tested, a large well was dug, into which several rotary pumps could be placed, if necessary. The stone-crusher engine was kindly lent to the Commissioners by the Provincial Government, and another engine and two pumps were rent- ed, With these, at the driest season of the year, several tests were made, one of them being kept up for nearly twenty-four hours. By these tests it was proved that a discharge from the well of about one million gallons per twenty-four hours, leftthe force and volume of the spring below unabated.

On obtaining this result, the Commissioners sent for the engineer on the 2lst September, but as he was at that time detained in court, in the capacity of principal witness as an expert in a heavy water claim case in Massachusetts, he was unable to come here until the 7th of October. This is to be regretted as it short- ened the time at the disposal of the Commis- sioners.

Mr. Tidd, on his arrival, examined the wells and enquired particularly into the quan- tity of water pumped therefrom, the time it took for the wells to fill after the pumping

ceased, aud expressed himself as satistied with

the experiments. After his return home he forwarded the following report :—

_ _ * Boston, Oct, 20th, 1887. ** Hon, Dapid Laird:

‘Dear Srr.—Upon a careful examination of your proposed water supply inthe valley above Crabbe’sa dam, it seems tome thata sufficient supply of excellent water can be collected there for the use of yourcity for some years yet to come. I am informed thatthe drainage area which furnishes the water of this stream is about 900 acres.

“ [@ necessary, strong reservoirs can be made both above and below the point which we have select ed for the main supply.

‘These reservoirs can be used to retain a quantity of the storm or freshet water in reserve, which would otherwise run to waste.

“Tn case of necessity, the waters of Gates’ and even Curtis’ brook can be brought tothe pro- posed pumping station by a cheap pumping plant located at one or the other of those points as a temporary supply in a dry time.

The fact that allof these supplies can so easily be concentrated at this point would seem to point to chis as your best location for the pumping station.

“Very truly yours, * M. M. Tipp.”

During the Engineer's visit here a few days ago, on being asked to furnish an estimate of the probable cost of reinforcing, if necessary, the water supply at the Upper Malpeque Road, he carefully examined the levels taken by Mr. Cox, C. E., under instruction of the Commissioners, and came to the conclusion that the water from Crabbe’s Stream and Gates’ Brook could be brought by gravitation to the pro- posed pumping station near the bridge on the

fhree Mile Brook, as the subjoined report will show :—~

* CHARLOTTETOWN, §Dec. 5, 1887. “ Hon. David Laird:

M “ DEAR Sir,—Referring to my letter of Oct. 20th, in relation to the use of the waters of Crabbe’s and Gates’ Streams asa means of rein- forcing the water supply of your city in the future, in case the increased demand should be in excess of the supply from the wells: (and in this connection I do not wish to be uaderstood as thinking there is not a sufficient supply at the wells for the present and for years to come; = re probably is, but we may expect your city 2a in population aud wealth. As this is a pene <7 the future as well as for the present, whion = anticipate an increase like other cities, Gaendies, mg may demand a greater supply; ete © Should look far enough into the a provide for it when needed.

The engineer being, therefore, of opinion, as also the Commissioners, that the quantity ot water which can be obtained where the test wells were sunk, will be sufficient for this city for years to come, it did not seem necessary to incur the expense, at present, of bringing in the cony eniently avail- able reserve supply of water referred to in the foregoing reports. Mr. Tidd, who had, during his first visit, been engaged to proceed with the! preparation of specifications au" plans of such parts of the work as would be common to all sources of supply, was, un bis second visit, accordingly authorized to com: plete them, on the basis of placing the pump: ing station near the big wel), the reservoir ou Mount Edward, the force main straight from the pumping station to the reservoir, and the delivery rnain thence by the Mount Edward and St. Peter’s Roads to the city. Mount Edward waa found to be 150 feet above tide level, and 100 feet above the highest ground in the city, near the Upper Prince Street School. ‘his elevation of the reservoir, wita good sized mains, will give a pressure sufli- cient to throw water to a height of sixty feet in every part of the city. But lest in any contingency this should be insufficient, 4 gate will be sv placed near the Mount Edward Road, that the reservoir can be shus eit, an the pressure from the pumps brought diuect to bear upon the hydrants in the city,

As recommended by the Engineer, te fur nishing of materials and the construction of the water works was divided iuto six different parts, according io a classification ; which would suit contractors engaged in different lines of business. The specitications were pre- pared as ‘ollows :-

1 Forcoated cast iron water pipes And for special castings.

2. For’ laying cast iron water pipes and their appurtenances.

8. For.water stop gates and hydrants.

4. For'pumping machinery, boiler, &c.

5. Fet furnishing materials and construct- ing a reserve.

6. For furnishing materials and construet- ing a puraping station.

These specifications, excepting one set, together ‘with a short advertisement, and the forms of proposal, contract, and bond required in each ‘case, were printed. and a copy of them al! as approved by the Commissioners is placed lerewith. Copies of them were for- warded to some of the principal iron founders, machinists and contractors in Canada, Britain and the United States, and advertise-

ments calling for tenders accord- ing to the specifications, as well as fer the amount of annual subsidy

a private company would supply the city for fire aud street-washing purposes, with 80 frost-proof hydrants, according to the Engineer's specifications, or their own specifications, were inserted in the Charlotte- town newspapers of the 7th November, and as soon as possible thereafter in the Halifax Herald St. John Telegraph Montreal Star Boston iZerald and the New York Engineering News. The tenders were required to be in by the 29th of the same month, but the time for receiving the pumping station proposals, was afterwards extended to Monday last, the 5tr inst,

No teudeva were received from a company naming « subsidy for hydrants &c., or from any one offering to construct the Waterworks on his own speci- fications.

For the cast iron pipes and special castings, six tenders were received, two from Glasgow, Scotland, three from the United States and one from Nova Scotia.

Zor laying pipes and their appertenances, three tenders were received, two from Nova Seotia and one from the United States.

For water stop gates and hydrgnts, six ten- ders were received, two from Nova Scogia, gne from New Brunswick and three from the United States.

For pamping machinery, boilers, etc., three tenders were received, one from Nova Scotia and two from the United States.

Fer the reservoir, four tegders were receiv- ed, two from Charlottetown and two from Nova Scotia.

For the pumping station, two tenders “were received,one trom Charlottetown and one from Nova Scotia.

The Commissioners, with the assistance of Mr. Tidd, opened the several tenders and made up the totaly of gach according to the rates ramed for the several items and the Engineers’ estimated quantities. ‘Phe Com- missioners, on comparing the tenders for each division of the a have decided that those representing the following amounts are the most favorable for the city and should be ac- cepted ;—

On these tendersjthejEngineer reported as follows :- -

CHARLOTTETOWN,} Dec. 5, 1887, How. Davi» LAIRD.

Dear Sir:

“Thave carefully examined the several tend- ers made for the construction of th: proposed Waterworks for the City of Charlottetown, and am of the opinion that they are reasunab e in amounts—in fact they are jess than I had ex- pected.

“itseemito me that you cannot do better than accept them.

“ Very truly yours, **M. M. Tipp.”

In additition to the above sum, to be in- cluded in contracts, the Engineer estimates that $6,409 will be required for engineering, and for special castings around the Reservoir, Pumping Station, &c. The Commissioners es- timate that $5,006 will be required for land damag*s and water-rights. This wili make the whole cost of the the works stand as fol- lows :—

Land Denages.........5....: 5,000 00 Preliminary Work.......... 3,000 00 $147,595 500

In comparing the above estimated total cost of Waterworks for the city with that of any other scheme proposed,-three considerations must be borne in mind:

_l. Length of Pipe in the city. The five en- giaeers have decided that 88 hydrants are now necessary for fire ses; and t) distribute

;

>

a propurly over the city a grebYer Ieuyth |

ee

of pipe will require to be laid down than was shown in either Mr, Murdoch's plan or those ac- companying the offer of the eompany represent- edby Mr. Turnbull. Mr. Murdoch estimated 63,350 lineal feet of pipe for the distributing service, whereas the plans now submitted shew about 68,465 lineal feet within the city, or an increase of nearly a mile. ; 2. Size of Street Pipe. Mr. ¢Tidd’s specifi- cations show a tutal length of about 15}ymiles of pipe, of which a little over 13 miles are within the city. _ An increase in the size and weight of the pipe will, therefore, make a material difference in the cost. Mr. Mur- doch proposed to lay 25,970 feet of 4-inch pipe, and no 10-inch and 14-inch along the streets. Mr. Tidd objects to the 4-inch size altogether for distribution, and has estimated approximately for the following sizes :

Feet. Tons.

14 inch pipe... .3,000 $0 133 oe. * _ 6.775 “9 183 .." i . 9,645 : 190

$-* 49,045 - 660

Total....... 68,465 1,166

The mains in the country, consisting of about 12,767 feet, are also l4inch. The dif. ference between the two plans of city distri- bution in length and weight of pipes may be best understood by stating that Mr. Murdoch estimated $06 tons of pipe for the city, while Me. ‘Tidd’s estimate is about 1,166 tons, or 260 tons more, representing at present prices over $9, 140.

3. Jnerease of duty. In the statement of the foregoing amounts of tenders all daties are included. Since Mr. Murdoch’s report, or since the passing ef the Dominion tariff on iron this year, the duty on straight pipe has more than doubled. Last year the duty on this pipe was 25 per cent, now it is $12 per Canadian ton, or $13.44 on the ton of 2240]bs. This places straight pipe, at present prices in Glasgow, under a duty of about 63.49 per cent, The total duty on straight pipe and special castings, as inclyded im the tenders sulnitted, amounts to $23,495.87, being an inerease of $13,989.06 over what it would avs oven last year, The total duty payable os pipes, gates and hydrants, and pumping maciinery will be about $27,350. and the tutal increase over the duty chargeable last year nearly $16,600. This, with the increase of $9,140 on account of additional leagth and weight of pipe estimated for the city as above explained, makes a total of $23,740, over what, for similar parposes, was submit- ted by Mr. Murdoch in 1881. By compari- son, were the same tariff now in force, and the same class of work contemplated, the Cominissioners’ estimate would be reduced to $123,855. The Commissioners have been only able to keep the probable cost of the works, fully $15,000, under the limit named in the Charlottetown Water Works Act, by having discovered, through the adyice of their Engineer, an ample supply of exceilent water within two and a half miles of the city.

QUALITY OF WATER,

lu regard to the pure quality of the water at the proposed source of supply, there can searcely be two opinions. Lhe water springs up from a depth of twenty feet below the surface, at a _ place remote from barnyards, cess-pools, or other present or future probable causes of contamination. It is convenient to the city, and yet far enough distant to be beyond any possible extension of its limits for centuries to come. Many citizens have, by drinking the water, already tested its excellence. But the Commigsioners, to satisfy themselves and others who might desire to possess scientific evidence of its purity, forwarded two samples for analysis to Professor T, My Drown, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sample No. 1 was taken from Gates’ Brook, below the mill dam, and the other from the big well sunk by the Commissioners. The water was lifted on the 15th September, and analyzed on the 26th, with the following. re- sults ;

T. M. Drown.

S. Jana Hayes, State Assayer and Chemist for Massazhuagtts, who made the analysis in 1872, of the specimens sent that year from Winter River, Spring Park and the city pump near the old post office, said the water of the latter was very bad because it contain- ed an uncommonly large proportion of nitrates or saltpetre, which indicated the presence of decaying animal matter, such as are found in drains and cesspools, one of the most dangerous contaminations formed in any water. The nitrates in the big well water are only 0.018 or 18-1000 parts of a grain ina gallon,

The greatest exception that can be taken to the water is its hardness, but this is common to all water in this Province, owing to the red gandsbone formation of the Island. Even in resect to hardgess, however, the water in the Three Mile Valley shows well” ‘By Dr. Clarke’s notation, one degree of hardness represents as much of the hardening galts as would take up and precipitate as much soap as a grain of caMbonate of lime would do in a gallon of water.

Theie are 6.70 grains equivalent to carbon- ate of lime in the big well water. Mr. Mur- dock’s report shows that a water whose per- manent hardness does not rise above six degrees of Clark's scale, is taken convention- ally as a soft water, Buta part of the hard- ness in the big wel] water is dye to carbonates, and is not permanent, because it escapes by boiling in the form of carbonic acid gas. According to Clarke's scale, therefore, the water at the proposed source of supply is a soft water, and it is almost wholly free from nitrates, ammonia and other unwholesome in- g: edients.

In conclusion, the Commissioners have simply to add that they have exerted their utmost to prepare a system of Waterworks which wiil, at the outset, press as lightly as possible upon the taxpayers of the city, con- sistent with substantial workmanship, and a due regard for the efficiency of the service, both for fire and domestic purposes. They submit the amounts of the tenders set forth in the foregoing schedule, confidently believing that the citizens will authorize the contracts to be entered into with the several persons whose bids the figures represent, in order that the whole works may be completed by the 31st of October next, the time specified in the pro- posals for tenders.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Davip Larrp, Chairman. Joun Ketty. Avex. McKrynon, Water Commisssioners Office, Dec. 6, 1887.

Chas. Palmer, Esq., then said the Com- missioners had done their duty very well, but the report did not give the several ten- ders which had been sent in.

Alex. McKinnon, Esq., said it would not do to name those who tendered for the work, but he would assure the meeting that no favoritism was shown,

Henry Davistri; Esy., thought the

amount estimated for special castings, Xc., |

was large, and wished to know why tenders were not asked for that part of the work. Hon. D. Laird explained that more than

and inspection. would be required yoir, which could not be many were necessary. The names of those who submitted tenders were never givel until after a contract was let.

Mr. L. H. Davies said the meeting had only one thing to do : to decide whether the Commissioners shall be instructed to go on with the work or not.

Wm. Dodd, Esq., would like to have seen the contract for the whole work given to one firm instead of being let in sections.

Hon. D. Laird explained that by divid- ing the work into sections they could get it done more cheaply.

John Kelly, Esq., said, in reply to Mr. Dodd, that one man had sent -in a tender for the whole work, but the lowest tender for each section was the one accepted. The Commissioners thought by dividing the work into sections they would get it done more cheaply, and also give Island con- tractors a chance to tender for part of the work. He thought the estimated amount for land damages would be more than suffi- cient.

D. Davies, Esq., thought the estimated amount for land damages was too small.

J. P. Tanton, Esq., was pleased to think we were to get amuch better quality of water than would have been obtained by any scheme proposed in Mr. Murdoch's report. He thought the Commissioners’ report should be submitted to the citizens and give them time to compare it with schemes formerly proposed, before a final vote was taken.

John Ings, Esq., moved the following resolution, seconded py Hon. Thomas W. Dodd :—

Resolved, That this meeting, having heard the report of the Watcr Commissioners on the Tenders which they,dvem the most fayorable of all those received by them, for the several divisions of the Waterworks of this city as set forth in the specifications submitted with their report, hereby approve of the contracts being entered into as recommended by the Commis- sioners, :

And, further, that having heard the esti- mated t.tal cost of the undertaking,do approve of the Commissioners ‘proceeding to build the said Waterworks, in order to have them in operatior, as they propose, next autumn..?

Chas. Palmer, Esq., thought it was the duty of the citizens to vote for the resolu- tion , we could get np more information on the subject. :

D, Farquharson, Esq., would like to know the probable cost per annum to the taxpayers.

Hon. D. Laird said that would be a matter for future consideration. It de- pended on how many persons would take water into their houses. The Commis- sioners would prepare a scheme for water rates and submit it to the citizens if re- quired.

Alex. McKinnon, Esq., said the vote to-night would fix the destiny of Water- works for the city for some time to come. The works would be first-class in every respect. The Engineer would listen to no suggestion {to cheapen any portion. By the arrangement of pipes in the reservoir the citizens would get fresh water from the spring every day. ‘The pipes will be laid through every street in the city, and eight streams of water from the hydrants can be thrown on every block in the city.

J. P. Tanton, Esv., moved, seconded by Robert McLaren, Esq :—

Resolved, That the report of the Water Commissioners be published for the informa- tion of the public, before any definite vote be taken in reference to the introduction of water into the city, and that this meeting be ad- journed for one month for that purpose.

The question was put on the amendmen}, when four persons stood up in support of it.

The question was then put on the first resolution and carried almost unanimously, only two voting against it.

The meeting then adjourned.
