As soon as the minutes had been read nnd approved, Mr. Cummings, for the joint sewer and water committee, read the report as to the increasing of Ashe- ville's water supply. The report is as follows: 'The question ol a water supply for the city is the most important thing which wchave to consider. For this reason we think nothing should be done in this direction until the source of sup ply and cost of the same has been fully determined, In our opinion the best system to adopt is to put iu a duplicate plant at the city pump house which will double our present supply for nt. least ten months of t he year, and supplement this with a steam pump of one million gal lons, to be used during unusually dry times, which would probably not aver age two months ot the year. I lie esti mated cost of t his plant would not exceed $25.01)0, including steam and duplicate water pumps. The location of the pump House is about one nine irom the Western North Carolina railroad. The city property extends to within 500 feet ol the railroad. If coal lias to be hauled it can be done nt as small an expense as Horn any otuer suitauie place, with the great advantage ot Hav ing the plant concentrated under one management, tucrcoy saving a great expense in running, and nt me same utilizing city property. " t he cost ol raising tnc nam, including damages from overflowing, has been considered. Your committee is of the opinion that the steam pump lor addi tional power when needed, is the most feasible plan to adopt. The parallel pipe line to connect the power house with the city should not be less than fourteen inches in diameter, which would be nearly double the capacity ot theprts- ent line. Tht two lines would supply about 1,800,000 gallons a day three times our present caducity, which com bined with the gravitation system, or Tatton's b:ibv,' ns it is sometimes called, would give us over 2,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. 'fc cost of the pipe lines has been estimated at $50,000. We are of the opinion that it would be better to put in a sixteen inch pipe, if the means nt our disposal will allow. "Tor this reason you will understand why your committee has delayed the re port of the extension of water and sewer lines in the city. Our line system of water nnd sewerage is useless without an abundant supply ot pure water, Realizing this, we have thought it best not to fritter away money on extensions in the city. The perfecting of our water and sewer sys tem in the city has been carelully con sidered. The city engineer has prepared maps of both water and sl wcr lines, giv ing sizes of pipe, location of hydrants, manholes, etc., which will enable any one to locate the lines needed. "In connection with this we suggest, if this system is adopted, there will be sufficient power to properly light the city at lessthan one half the present cost, provided it is utilized. "Iu preparing this report vour com mittee have consulted with competent engineers and experts on water supplies. We lurtner state lor tue luiomaiion oi the board that the city engineer is get ting up the cost of a pipe line to lice Tree creek, and other estimates which will be submitted later for your consideration." The report is signed by J. IX Brevard C. H. Leonard, I. t. Starnes Oco. i Scott, J. A. Conant and V. A. Cummings, There was a short discussion ot the re- nort. and it was decided to postpone ac tion until next Friday. The board seemed favorably impressed with the re port. Oilier UuHlneKM. The cily engineer was instructed to make estimates of the work done by II M. Smith, culvert contractor, so he could be paid on the 1st and 15th o each month. Capt.

On motion of Mr. Brevard the city engineer was instructed to make a 40-foot survey ol Hill street Irom Monttoro avenue to West Hnvwocd street. The finance committee was instructed to settle with the Asheville street railway company and the Asneyille liglit anu power company. It Can't Be Done (?) Mr. Starnes icad section 398 of the city code, referring to the record of births to be kept in the clerk's office, which was alluded toinTimCrnziSN a few davsago, and moved that the clerk have blanks printed for tie purpose of keeping a record of births. The other members treated the matter as a joke, laughed over it, said it couldn't be done, and Mr. Starnes did not even get a second to his motion, Mr. Starnes moved to reconsider the vote by which the report of the jury on widening South Main street on the cast side was adopted. Carried. Thereport was then rejected, and a new jury was ordered for that street from the car shed to Atkin street, on the west side.
