Waste of Water===The Sewers=== Pavements and Special Assessments. The nnnual report of the Board of Public Works for the nine months ending Dec. 81, 1875, has just been published, Its most Interesting portions are as followa: | During the period which this report covors, no ruhllc work of a kind to attract general attentlon an becn undertaken; but in no past year hos so mnch been accompliahied toward insuring the safe- 1{ of the city ngainat fire, and thereby enhanclng tho stability of all ita materin] intereats, In somo other years o larger number of milles of water-pipe haa been tald, but it wna of smaller dimension, and 10 B grent oxtont designed only to convey thequan- tity required for domesticconsumption. Lost year the Doard lald the greatest quantity of large malns ever Juld in one year in thls city, the dealyn being to_sirengthen our fro-nglitfug revotirces by sapplying hitherto unprotectod districts, In creaning the pressnre in other districts only partially secured by provious work, and_innking uvallabie the water which will Le mlqpllull Ly tho land extension of the new lake tunnel, through the new Weat 8ide pamping-worke, which will proba- bly be In operatiun by nifumiminer. ‘Fhicre aro now ovar 410 miles of water-pipeslald in the clty, In 1871 thero wero 272 miles, Of the pipen now lald, there nre m-arl{ 4milen of 36-Inch, uver 19 mlies of 2t-inch, nently 11 miles of 10- ineh, ncarly 10 miles of 12-inchi, nearly 2 miles of 10-inch, over 71 miles of 8-inch, and over 155 milen of O-Inch, making 276 miles of U-inck and o grester diameter, Nearly cleven-sixteenths of vur pipe are, therefore, of alzes conaliered mafe for fire purposes in nll cltles in the warld, O the 41% mllcs of pipes Jakd in Now York IIF o Nov, 12, 1875, 255 milea were only O-inch In diameter, This comparison will show that it is unfalr to con- tinue tho clomor In the intereat of Insurance com- ponica, that tho water-pines In Chicago are unrra- ronably amall {n diumoter as compred with_thoso in uke In otbier clios.
