There Is nothing really wrong with the system Itself. except that the city has completely outgrown It. and that Atlanta.

now demands and must have In order to stcure protection extensive improvements which will cost. at least This state of attain. was. disclosed at- the regular meeting of the municipal water board at the city hall yesterday afternoon. Superintendent Woodward recommended that a new pumping engine of 20000000 gallon per day capacity be placed at No.

2 station at once and that the board also consider the con- Btructlon or a new reservoir much larger than the present on President George W. Harrison also sent an urgent communication to the board explaining the condition or affairs and expressing the opinion that the board should ask the council to furnish such funds as were necessary for the protection or the public property. The board appeared to be a unit In favor or taking such a step. and a resolution Introduced by Commissioner Er- win appointing a committee to go before the city council with the request of the board will no doubt be passed at a ape- ciii meeting next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The resolution.

and also to consider the suggestion of an additional reservoir at station. It IS probable that the council will recognize the necessity for Improving the waterworks system and make an effort to furnish the money. The expenditure will have to he a large one. and it Is likely a bond Issue will be necessary. The two engines at Hemphlll statlon of iJl000000 gallons capacity each cost 60000.

The proposed new engine of 00001 gallons capacity would be as large' as the present engines put together and would cost. it is estimated. between 875000 and 8100000. The cost of the proposed new reservoir depends largely on its lo cation. The present reservoir cost 84000.

One official of the water department places the cost of the new reservoir and engine at 250000. It will be seen therefore that the estimate of 150000 as a total cost is very conservative.

Honorable Board of Water COUInIs- sloners. City of Gentlemen The' question of an abundant. Cod healthful supply or water for a great city Is one that should not only meet with the consideration of all good citizens but especially claim our attention. The people of this city have Placed a great trust in our hands' and look confidently to us for an honest and careful administration of this trust I mention this for the purpose or calling your attention to some suggestions- that have been brought. to my attention by the superintendent and after considering the same.

I am satisfied that It la the duty of the board to present the matter to. the city council and ask that such steps be taken as may be necessary to secure the city in the enjoyment of a- bountiful supply of pure water. Thejuperlntendent tells me that during the summer of last year and this year the pumps at He station were and are now running beyond HCaPCUy during Part of the day. thereby Jeopardizing the property of our citizens. for should a large tire break out during the time the pumps are being used beyond their capacity serious results might follow before we could get additional boilers in service to.

furnish Steam sufficient to run both pumps. In view of this condition of affairs. Tdeem It. but wise on our part to present the matter to the city council and ask that It make the necessary arrangements to furnish this board with sufficient money to purchase a 20000000 gallon pump In addition to the two now in use at Hemphill station also. an additional battery of boilers.

I also call your attention to the necessity In the ne future of having another large reservoir. The present reservoir has-a capacity of about 170.000,000 gallons of water but not more than 100000000 gallons is available for filter purposes. The filters will not work under less than eighteen feet head. and when the water in the reservoir gets below that mark they will not work. so that practically we have only about two week' supply of water in the present reservoir.

I think we should have a reservoir with a. capacity of not less than 500000000 gallons. Remember. that we are not building for today. but for the future.

Atlanta has grpwn beyond the expectations of every one and she continues to grow. Our new waterworks. put In operation September 29 1893. and supposed at that time- to be sufficient for at least twenty yearsls already found too small. The demand for water Is constantly on the Increase.

and as the city grows this demand becomes more pressing and soon it will be Impossible to furnish water for domestic use and tire service at the same time. but with a 20000000 gal. Ion pump in service we would be for some years. spread upon the minutes and such action be taken by the board as it may deem wise and proper. Respectfully submitted.

GEORGE w. HARRISON. President. Report of Superintendent. is asf frep rt of Superintendent Woodward Atlanta.

Ga. July To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners. City of Gentlemen I have the honor to call your attention to a matter that I consider of vital importance to the citizens of Atlanta and one that should have the. careful consideration of this hoard and of the city council. I.

refer to the lack of pumping capacity at our second station. The pumps now. in Use at this station nave capacity of 10000000 per day each. and it is recognized as a necessity that we should have at least one pump as a reserve In. case of.

accident to the ons in use. as welt as to give an opportunity to keep the pumps in good order by using them alternately. During the summer of last year and this year. the pumps at this station have been and are now running during the afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock beyond their guaranteed capacity. We.

are now pumping over 6000000 gallons of water per day. and during the above hours the pumps art run beyond their capacity. For Instance. sixteen and one-half revolutions per minute is the maximum allowed- each pump and this produced IOUOUW gallons of water. per day but.

from 4 to Ii In the afternoon the revolutions average eighteen and in case of tire average twenty. This shows an parent excess of pumpage of from one to four million gallons of water over the guaranteed capacity of the pumps. but this is not the case so far as the volume Is concerned. for when- the revolutions of the pumps exceed their capacity we get velocity. but no more water.

As a result the pumps are injured by being run beyond tnelr speed and the useless consumption of coal re suits. There is but one remedy for this. To meet the demand and bu ready for tire service both pumps will have to be put in operation during the two hours referred to. and that means the use of two more boilers necessary to furnish steam sufficient to run both pumps. This will leave us with one boiler and no pump as a re tiult.

Last year I rewDimended to the board. the necessity or putting in an additional battery of boilers but the board decided otherwise. I again call your attention to this necessity as I see it. It our boilers can be kept In the. condition they now- are.

they will last- many years longer than' they would If used so often as would be necessary to run both pumps during the afternoon. To meet the requirements of the city the board should a once make arrangements to put in a 20000000 pump In addition to those In use at No. 2 station. Should the Increase In. the consumption Qt water go on as it has the past two years.

we will need this additional pump next year. and as it takes-about twelve months to build and put in operation a pump of this size I call your attention to the matter at this time so that you may take such action In the premeses as you see tit. The matter of nother larger storage reservoir should also be considered for from present. Indications the reservoir now in use will not hold sufficient water to give us more than two weeks' supply so that an accident at the river station or It for any reason the reservoir should not be supplied for two weeks the city woutit suffer. I respectfully' urge your honorable body to take this matter us with the city council and place the board on recor.

as to its views of the situation. Respectfully Superintendent.

from Consolidated. The committee on electric. and other railways of the city council. Councilman Ed Burns chairman wilt hold an Important meeting at the city hall this after- noon at 3:30 o'clock. The various applications for franchises train street rail- way companies wll probably the entire session.

The main Interest. of course wilt center In the applications of the Collins Park and Belt Railroad Company which has. applied for rights of way on nearly every principal business and residence street In Atlanta. The company asks to condemn and parallel certain pieces or track or the Consolidated. and is probable there will be a warm debate' between the representatives of these two companies this afternoon.

The Collins park road has. applied for a line on Luckle street to North avenue. via Hemphllt avenue to the pumping station also a line on Auburn avenue to' the Line shops thence to Pecatur street and toDccatur also a line on Ivy street. Forrest avenue to eastern part of the city also a line on Piedmont avenue and- Courtland street to Piedmont park also a tine on Ivy. Butter and Gllmer streets the Boulevard and Woodward' avenue to the Federal prison site also a line across the Mitchell street viaduct through the west The Consolidated and the Atlanta Rail.

way companies also have several petitions. before the committee. The Atlanta rail- way asks that It be allowed. lay a line along McDantel street. This is what the Richardson street citizens are objecting to so seriously.

believing It will result In material Injury to their service. The Consolidated asks for various changes in Its lines In different parts or the city. Edwin P. Ansley has an application for franchises on Emmett and Ashby streets to his property near the pumping station. He asks for theprivilege of rvfnning either a steam or a dummy line.

Ira Sage and others ask for various franchises to build an electric line to Roswell. It wilt be seen. therefore that the committee will have itshands full. and that It will probably take several days to complete Its report on all the applications.

NEW TRDE LIRE Old Kirth GurIi Ralliay Will Be APPLICATION FOR. CHARTER Now Line Is To Connect Columbus O. and Port Royal S. C. OHIO KNOXVILLE AND PIRT ROYAL Amendment to Charter Provides for a Line of Coast Steamers To Be Operated.

The North Georgia Railroad Company. which was incorporated In 1890 Is about to take a new lease of life change Its name and organize a system of lines connecting Knoxville Tenn with Port Royal. S. C. An.

amendment for the charter was filed in the office of the sec retary of state yesterday morning and yesterday afternoon the certified copies of the amendments were prepared and ready to be forwarded' to the directors. The new company will be known as the Ohio. le and Port Royal Railway Company and one of the objects of the organization will be to connect. Columbus O. with Port Royal and.

the south Atlantic seaboard. Another of the amendments to the charter le that the company be allowed to build and operate steamboats. In. all. probability a line will be organized to connect Augusta.

Savannah and other Important towns accessible with Port Royal. It is understood that there la considerable money behind the proposed establishment of this trunk line to Port Royal and It Is' thought that English capitalists are largely Interested in the deal. This has not been given out on authority. but the tact that duplicates of the' certificates of amendments wUI forwarded to England lend color to this Inference. It is thought that the new line which will doubtless cross several or the coun ties In the northern part of the state will be a.

large factor- In the development of the-natural resources In that. section. The petitioners ask that no limitation be placed on the capital stock. and that the directors of the company be permitted to ssue such stock as they deem advisable. It is-also asked that the charter continue for a term of eighty years front December 22 1890.

the date of the original Incorporation. I. L. Tribble. secretary of the board of directors of the North Georgia Railway Company called at the department of the secretary of state yesterday morning to file the petition for the amendments but declined to give out any further Information regarding the plans and purposes of the new road otherthan that contained.

in the petition for amendments It is thought that the proposed consoll- I dation of several Important lines has. been under consideration for some. time past and that at present plans are almost In definite shape for the deal At a meet- Ing or the stockholders or the North Georgia Railway Company. held on. the 13th.

It- was unanimously' decided to change the name of the company for the purpose of allowing a- larger scope for the Operations. For a. number of years past efforts have- been. made to snake Port Royal. one of the most Important coast towns from a commercial standpoint.

In the south. The harbor. one jof the. deepest and finest In the country Is well adapted for shipping of all kinds. The unusual depth of the harbor.

per- rrtlts vessls of large to to enter. anti this is one or the best points in its fa. or With the construction of railway pl rs Into. the harbor the vessels could be unloaded without difficulty and at small expense. The fact that the new company Intends centering' Its Interests mainly about Port Royal would seem to Indicate.

that great Improvements are contemplated In. that vicinity in the near future. It. may be that a line of steamers will be established between Port Royal- and Liverpool or some other important foreign port. The news of this venture will doubt less come as a surprise to many woo hive not been aware that any sue deal was contemplated.

It Is. not known when active operations wilt begin. but it Is highly probable that preparations will be made at an early' date. The president or the North Georgia Railway' Company Is VK. MeCiBly nd the following were named as Incorporate rs at the time the charter wag granted In 1890 C.

Alex W. Smith Makes a Happy Speech at' Jacksonville. The opening- of" the Atlantic. Valdosta and Western. railway was- celebrated at Jacksonville last week by Ii.

banquet. Among the speakers was Alex W. Smith. Esq. of Atlanta.

general counsel of the road. His speech was one of the events of the dinner. In the course of his remarks he said We are told that agriculture Is' the' foundation of all material prosperity. and' yet how lame and halting was agriculture until the ralfroals came to market the harvest. Again we are told that manufactures are essential- to any pros- perltyand we burden' ourselves with a protective tariff In order to.

foster and. promote these industries and as yet what' feeble and sickly enterprises we would have but for the railroads to distribute their products Agriculture manufactures transportation these three form the. solid and enduring foundation of out growth and progress but the greatest of these Is transportation. The application Is plain That which has proven for the bestInterest and the most rapid development of Ill peoples. and all nations In all ages.

Hence I am Justified In the' statement that no' event In the seventy-seven of your' history has been of more Importance" than the completion to tidewater of the Atlantic. Valdosta ant Western railway. I feel at home here tonight.

Colonel Rufus Reaves the states agent In charge of the Northeastern railroad was In the city yesterday and in the- afternooiFhe called at the railroad commission. He' and' Chairman Trammell. of. the commission had.

a long talk about the cut In rates which the clilr man proposed last' week. Colonel. Reaves said that the proposed schedule of rates would cost the' states road. from Athens to Lola thirty-nine siles long 3000. He said he had figured on It and the state.

would certainly the loser to the extent of 5000 Colonel Tranimell argued that the toad would haul 3000 bales more lf the rates were reduced. Colonel Reaves replied that even" If the Northeastern should get 3009 mOre bales that would yield only' 800 revenue and. the roadwould still be loser Colonel Reaves thought the state ought not to Injure Its own property. Chairman Trammell was. asked If the Short roads could be excepted front his proposed schedule.

lie answered that he did not see howlt could be done. The cotton case will come up again next week and the short lines wm to Heard from. jAs no reduction In rates Is suggested Sy Colonel Trammell- for distances over 100 miles there would be no for' a vast amount of the cotton Whlch goes out by the ports.
