(ii'.NTi.KM".N We herewith submit our semi-annual report, and would resect fully cull your uHctitl'iii to the woik done during I he pant nix months. There has been no new mains laid rive tappings have been made at a net profit of f,'. 85. One hydrant has been net ut a cut of 2: 75. The pumps have been thoroughly over hauled and repaired ut considerable ex petihs, ami are now in flint-clans condi tion, The new .'10-inch belt and other im provement made on the Union pump, has increased its ellKueucy so that there In no possibility of it breaking down un der the heavy work required to keep the reservoir full. The reservoir was cleaned out this npiing, uf'er the pumps were repaired, and found iu excellent condition, Joining the repairs the reservoir sup plied the bill for four days, including the lower ciiy for one day when the pumps were shut down. It was mentioned in last report that lower insurance rates could be had if ceituin improvements were made to the pumping station. On the recommenda tion of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific, we have placed a sprink ling system on the station, at a cost of (81 27, and in consequence of the same and the general distribution of hydrants, together with the efficient fire depart ment, the city has been specially rated and given rate book No. 3, making a say ing iu insurance rates of from 10 to 2-3 erceiit. We suggest that the council have the oi l Willamette hydrants changed to use a wrench to turn on the water instead of the present difficult method, which has the serious objection that they are al ways open to any miachevious person who might be disposed; to tamper with them. This defect has already cost con siderable for repairs, and the improe- mc nt mentioned would make all the hy drants uniform. v RECEIPTS.
