Leki' visn OCHTLnMK.w Ttio DlreoUws take pleasure iu uubmttUng their third annual report as follows During tho month of March the ico uurl Uooda caused considerable damage to tho Dam and Inlet, without, bow- ever, endangering or interfering with ctio supply of water to town- The dam- svas repaired in tho spring. During tho same month, in mionco of insufficient covering and bad material used in filling tho trenohea over tho pipe, tho mains were frozen ftt number of In.

town, cutting off tha water of the citizen. 1 and bursting fourteen (U) sections of plpo. This was tho cnao in South Ninth ctieet, East Cumberland, Sixth, Chestnut, and Jtorth Ninth, A plpo also broke on Walnut street, between Kinth and Tenth in February, caused, probably, by the frost. Good pipe were substituted, and to guard against further accidents of tho.kind, thu Council has during the summer, filled up tho streets, in all whero it la known that the covering la insufficient, thereby guarding agrtinsi further accidents by freezing. Tho Directors are- fearful, how- evor, that there tiro still places at preoent unknown, whero ttio covering la insufficient, and freezing will bo the jesult hereafter.

Tho sooner all such places are discovered tho better, oven If it ia at -tho oxponso of- tind labor of substituting others Tho tjupplv of water to our citizens should at all seasons of the year, Tho water waa good and abundant the with tho exception of a few days In Juno, when It bocamo deujy tainted. Tho evil WHS attributed to various causes, probably nil of which combined to produce tho result, until the bed of tho Dam ia thoroughly cleared, and all vegetable growth destroyed, we must nxpect impure water from the during tho summer months. The ovil was remedied at the earlU'St moment by changing tho town supply from tho Dam to the Inlet. By direction of Council the follow- lug plpo were laid during tho year; On Eleventh streetr- On Spruce, OnMifflin, On Lehman, OaFouvtli, On Weld man, Qa Cumberland, 8 a Chestnut, Elizabeth, On Tenth, On Twelfth, On Pome, Ua Hoffman, On Seventh, Tytul, '7770 1 0-inch valve, 4 -Much valves, 2 Fire Plug Branches, 6 Fire Hydrants, and Valve lor Drain were alsoput in during the yi'ar, tire cost of pipe and laying tho game (including Hydrants, Ywlvea, Branches and material,) was 63 cents per foot. iLust year the cost was 75 cents, two yours ago nearly Jn connexion with the work outside tho borough we would report us lows A Yulve nud Tool House, 12 by 14 test, of brick, was erected at the Dam during tho pummer, us authorized by Council.

Tho Inlet was eolarged to about dgublo ita former, capacity, As It probable that the supply of wjl have to be taken from the Inlet during the hot summer months for years to come, iu consequence of the water In tUe Daai becoming impure, it was that in case of rice ihe supply might be tiisufthieut in the IraletJience its ea Instead of brick whJich the ice and luusknUa break dowu ant stoue mV pwt ttraiiud; the. lulet.
