The Geo;2;raj)hical position of the Citj of Ottawa lias fitted it ;o fulfil the conditions of the high destiny awaiting the capital of the, as yet, undeveloped British American Empire. Situated ai the confluence of two ol the most important tiibutaries of the Ottawa lliver, on a comnnt^ g position of that strcatn, the day is not distant when the erce of half a continent must be concentrated in the port ut ...s city. The staple trade of the Province already centres there, and the development of the immense manufacturing power and mineral resources of the valley of its noble river can be safely predicated upon as accessories to that importance in commercial affairs it is destined to accomplish, and whose establishment can hardly be called a work of time. The natural beauty and advantages of the site on whi'^h tne city has been budt, attracts alike the attention of the statesman, the soldier, the merchant, tiie manufacturer, the man of science, as well as the sentimental lover of the picturesque. The City was founded about the year 1827, by the construction of a military necessity — the lliUeau Canal — the cause of which this City has been the effect — has no doubt had much to do in it:i st'leciion as the future capital of British North America. Tiie City of Ottawa is seated on bold limestone cliffs rising abruptly from the shores of that gieat lliver from which its nanie is derived. Its limits are defined on the East by the river Fiider.u^ to that point at which the line which divides Lots E and F, in Concession C and D, in the Township of Nepean, leaves that river. This line forms its southern boundary, and passes across lot No. 40 in the same Township, to the line dividing it from Lot 39. It then turns northwardly along that t I, n ' I i line to the line tliviilins Concpf«sioti A .'tnd tlio first Concession, and in Concession A, ••nibracing tliu whole of the broken Lot No. .39, to ihe OUavvji llivcr, incliulin^ iill tlie ishiud.s to ihe southerly (iiJ of the t^iion Hri(lj;c. Thence following the course of the Ottawa, in the centre of the clnnnel, to the western branch of the waters of the river lliileun, and (heri'.M; up stream to the point before named, where the dividing line between K and F leaves the lliver. This area, so enclosed, contains ITTl'O-M' acres, and the islands 36-0"20 acres, about one-lhird of which is partiidly built over. It was incorporated as a town on the 28th of July, 184<7, by Acts 10 and 11 Vic, cap. 43. It could not be ex| ectcd that a City which dates its existence from thirty-five years ago, should be in every respect as well prepared to reci;ive the honours awaiting her as the Seat of the Government of the British dependencies in North America, as other cities whose matured age has given them the benefit of greater and more substantial improvement. Still, as a general rule, the advantages enjoyed naturally are such as in a great measure to compensate tor the want of tl.ose artificial additions which a dense population and a large commerce requires. The increasing demands of the constantly accuiiiulating population, and the necessity exi'>titig for preparing tlie City for the high position it has been selected to occupy, has called for some general and eompreliensive measure by which the extent of the improvements needed could be ascertained and their actual cost accurately defined. The first step towards obtaining this necessary knowledge was that of having an actual survey of the City prepared in the most careful and elaborate manner, and this bad become the more imperative because no actual plan of the City existed. It is true there were a goodly number of paper plans (i. p., lines of projection defining lot boundaries) in existence, but such a topographical plan as was actually necessary to define things os they arc, had never been made. AVell aware of the necessity by previous professional experience, of having this omission supplied in ibe year ISoO, T addressed a communi- cation to E. McCxillivijy, E«.q., the Mayor of this City, pointing out vvliikt I tlio iglit :jlio:il.l be done in a matter of tins importance. As it was hte in the season, (towards the close of i::^eptember,) I did not press the matter on the CouiKil, because it was not a proper time to CMinini;nce a survey of the description required. Although the subject was brought before the Council several times, no action was taken thereon till (he inoufh of August, 1860, when a contract for a survey of the City uiih a view to its- Drainage, IVlacadamization,and a Supply of Water, was accorded to me. This survey had been rendered luiperatively necessary by an application being made to Parliament for an Act to legalize a survey of a portion of the City, (late Ordnance property) by J. S. Dennis, Esq., P. L- S., of which notice will be taken in the proper place, as well as for the purposes before mentioned. Fully alive to the importance of the great work conrnitted to my charge, and having determined that it should be done to the best of my professional power and ability, I did not wait for the contracts to be signed, but at once proceeded with the preliminary. Operations. I had decided on a Trigonometrical survey of the City, because it possesses many advantages over any other method, as it reduces the pos«ibiiity of error to a minimum, and furnishes so many uiechauical checks on its Theoretical and ' Calculated elements, tiia?; no itiea of an error of any consequence could be entertained. The City supplies twenty-five Trigono- metrical points, and the shores of the north side of the Ottawa River and islands in the same, fourteen, making a total of thirty-nine stations, a series of eight observations on the average at each station, from which every point in sight was taken, furnished a mass of data from which the frame-work of Triangles for field use and proof were constructed, and on which the detail •woi'k was based. The extreme accuracy of this method may be illustrated by stating that the greatest dilVerence between the calculated distance and that actually measured never exceeded a decim;>l of one-tenth of one loot in two thousand feet, and the calculations carried throuoh the whole s(;i'i( i of Triangles from West by North-east and South, to the same line again, would close tot he same decijial. r I j I This network of Triangles formed, as before stated, the base ol" operations on which the details were founded, and the position of those details were ascertained by actual measurement of lines run between pomts on the various lines connecting each Trigono- metrical station, thus necessitating the measurement of those lines and compelling an actual check to be placed on the calculated distances. CTlinc, so chained, the positions of houses and al! other details, were fixed also by actual measurement, and that operation has been performed on every Structure, Fence, Hou^e or Lot, in the City, as it stood up to 1st November, 1860. The true posiilion of a!l details having been ascertained, lines of Levels were run throitgh all the streets then open, and contour lines, beginning at th*^ highest point of the hill immediately to North of the Episcopal Cemetery, along tlie edge of the Kideau River, to that pomt at which the City boundary leaves it on the South, to the head of the Bay at the Chaudiere. The survey was then laid down on a scale of 66 feet to one mch, and it covers 300 sq. feet of drawing paper. The sections of the streets cover 560 square feet ot the same material, and have numbers representing the hei'jhts marked on all the ordinates. The plans would iiave been finished at an earlier date, but a portion of svuface contained between high and low water, at the foot of the clifis, of the utmost importance to the City at a future day, as furnishing sites for wharves, etc., could not be accurately got at till a few days ago. The datum for all the sections is the sill of the lowest lock (guard lock) on the Ilideau Canal, and the records of the rise and fall of the waters in the Ottawa lliver, which has been kept for a series of years by the officers of the Ordnance Department, will be available for determining actual high and low water. OBJECTS WHICH THE SURVEY HAS ACCOMPLISHED. The very accurate Topographical survey of the City now laid before you demonstrates the necessity which existed for a measure of this description. A glance at it will suffice to point out the Jifterence between the actual alignment of the streets and the , the base le position it of lines Trigono- those lines calculated es and al! and that ce, Hou'e 60. The of Levels our lines, to North au River, he South, was then •s 300 sq. over 560 )resenting e, but a , at the : a future ccurately iGht lock rise and ept for a ent, wilt JSHED. now laid measure out the and the theoretical straight lines so prominent on all hitherto existins; plans, while the disposition of the houses and structures shows a departure from the principles on which the streets are supposed to have been originally projected. In many cases the actual encroachment of houses and fences on the streets is plamly visible, but till tiiis survey was completed, no remedy^ could be either devised or carrieJ into effect. Through the kindness of Colonel Cofiin, I have been able to comply with the direction of the Water Works Committee, and have copied a plan placed at my disposal by that gentleman, made by J. S. Dennis, P. L. S., and sought to be legalized during the present session of Parliament. I would recommend that measures be taken by the Council to establish the alignment of the streets, by, in the first place, having the survey now submitted legalized, and, secondly, by having proper boundary marks of cast iro?i placed at the intersection of every street, to the lines between which, the front of all houses should in future be restricted, and not even as much as a moulding should be allowed to project beyond. In the meantime, it would be advisable to allow sucli frairio or other oodcn houses as are now c!i the street to remain till removed by dycny or otherwise. This, of course, only applies to cases where the houses are only three or four ftet over the line and where the encroachment has not been recent. In placing the cast-iron boiiiidary marks, they should be located on the outer edge of the sidtwalk so as to be alike free from tiie obstruction of projecting house fronts and from the danger of bting built over. Jn comparing tiic rehidts of our survey with that made by Mr. Dennis, a dtvialion of some feet is apparent at the lower end of Cumbtrland St.'cot, commencing on the \V(.^t side of that ;trcet at ih'.' junction of St. Patrick's Street and running to the intersection of Cathcart f?trcct. Taking all tiie circumstances oi' tiie case into consideration, 1 am of opinion thut tlie iiiti.-ri ^ts of the City nil! be best served bv having a consultalion between parliis selected to act for the Corporation and tiie Crown Lands Di'|)ar(n)cnt, or whom- soever they may delegate, for tiie purpose of settling the u i ! 8 alignment of the streets, and that the lines so determined on may be legalized ; at the same time, such questions affecting private property as may be involved therein, can be quietly settled. But the great problem which this survey has solved, is that affecting those improvements demanded by the altered circumstances of *he City. Foremost amongst them is the primary one on which they must be based — THE DRAINAGE OF THE CITY. Ottawa may be described as situated on bold limestone cliffs sloping towards the Eastward, till, at a point where King Street intersects Rideau Street, it attains its maximum of depression, at an elevation of 70 feet above low water in the Ottawa River. It ascends from that point to the summit of the ridge of sand hills immediately overhauguig the Rideau River, when it attains a maximum elevation of 114 feet above low water. It will thus be seen that the axis of depression takes the line of King Street, and governs the natural drainage of the whole City. The true principle involved in the consideration of the plan by wh:ch such an extensive system of drainage tonipelling the construction of expensive works, hliould be conducted, is that of making all the natural resources of the surtace contour available. - In pursuance of tins purpose I would recommend the adoption of the natural depression mentioned as the best site for the maiu sewer of thai system of drains which must pervade the City. Starting from a point on Hugh Street, 200 feet, to the south of the present Ciowti Timber Office, the direction of the main sewer will lollow the line of Albert Street to the Basin at the Rideau Camil, ur.der the bottom of which it passes at a sufficient depth for security, and fol!o\^irig the course of the present B_> -wash down INIosgrove Street to its junction with Rideau Street, thence to the juiiclion of King Street, along that street to the foot of Calhrart Street, and up that street to the intersection of Diilliousie Slreet, the line of which latter street it follows, crossing McKay Street and through the grounds of John McKinnon, Esq., to the final outlet into the Ottawa. Into this main sewer 1 1 ined on may ting private ttled. But lat affecting mstances of ne on which estone cliffs Cing Street pression, at taua River, of sand hills it attains a It will thus u'ng Street, ity. The b by wh:ch :onstruction making all lable. - In ption of the niaiu sewer . Starting nth of the nain sewer the Ptideau client depth t Jl) -wash eetj thence the foot of section of 's, crossing ilcKinnon, nain sewer the whole drainage of the City will be passed, except that portion to the westward of the Concession line between B and C, Wellington Street, and the area between it and the River, together with the district known as Le Breton's Flats, those portions finding (heir natural outlet through the ravine at the latter place. The superficial area on which the City of Ottawa stands is equal to 3S29'0'19 acres, divided into five Wards, namely : Ottawa Ward contains, By Ward do., St. George's Ward contains, Wellington Ward do., Victoria Ward do.. 228- 1- 32 acres. 202-0-35 " 4.8i-l-25 652-2-03 261-2-1-i (( « « There is thus a total area of 1810-0-3i acres and 18'3-25 of water within the City Limits, from which the natural drainage has to be conducted ; and if to this is added the sewage furnished by a population of 90,5GO souls, or at the rate of 50 persons to the acre, we have a total quantity of 4-30,925,282 cubic feet per annum, equal to nearly 819 per minute, to pass through the artificial outlets which must be provided to meet the exigencies of the case. The method usually pursued in providing for similar contingen- cies is to assume that the rain fall over the whole area is equal to 39 inches per annum, and of this quantity 2t inches has to be disposed of as superfluous, the remaining 15 inches being (as ordinarily assumed) disposed of by evaporation. This rule is not of universal application, nor can it hold good amidst a dense pop- ulation, simply because the area of Po?idage is diminished, and therefore while two feet may be the average contribution of rural districts to the rivers and streams, that furnished by cities and towns must more nearly approach three feet. In well drained cities, very liuie is absorbed by evaporation, and the true rule which should he adopted is to adjust the area of the sewers to dispose of the wiiole quantity, plus the sewerage contribution of the whole population, and in additioni to provide for contingencies ■'I « to arising from suildcn discharges owing to atmospheric aberation. In considering this subject, I have siijiposed that such a circum- stance would occur as a rain fall of two inches in 24' hours, and have adapted the sewers so a^ to accommod:ite that quantity as fast as delivered. Tlie main sewers as desciibcd, will be of the lengths and dimensions as follows : From lluorli Street to Basiii 2,900 feet ; Basin to Lock on Bywash, 84<5 feet ; Lock to Rideau Street, 500 feet ; Llideau to intersection of King Street, 1,900 feet ; equal to G,M'5 feet, with an average outfall of 35.23 feet per mile, '^riie area drained by this portion of the sewer equals 893-0-52 a;res, and with the population as assumed (50 souls to an acre), the seweragi? would eqtud 155 feet per minute, while the natural drainage would be 237 feet per minute. The dimensions of this part of the main drain 2'. 6" x 3'.6" will discharge with a depth in the drain of 2 '.3" ;= 153f) cubic feet per minute. For the proposed length of uKiin, the accompanying sketch, plan jNo. 1, will show the design. From the point where King Street intersects Ridean Street, to the foot of Cathcart Street, a distance of 2,680 feet, an en- largement of the sectional area is requisite. Because the rate of fall per mile is reduced, while the superficial area is increased to 1180307 acres, the outfall bemg only equal to Id-.^S ft. per mile. The section of this drain shews an prsa of 3.6 « 5.0, and with a depth of 2.6 head in drain, the discharge is equal to 2352-35 cubic feet per minute. The sewerage due to the population is equal to 205 cubic feet per minute, and area 293 cubic feet, equal to 498 cubic feet per minute. Sketch plan No. 2 gives the design for this portion of the main sewer. From the intersection of Cathcart and Dalhousie Streets, the main sewer, to its final embouchure at low water in the river, has a total length of 3,217 feet. The average outfall is li feet per mile, the capacity of the main drain has been enlarged to 4'.0" m 5'.6", as the superficial area has also considerably increased, the drainage from an area of 1322* 1*11 acres, and sewerage from corresponding population, equals a gross amount of 787 cubic ftfet per minute. 1- aberation- I a circum- i' hours, and quantity as II be of the ct to Basiii ; Lock to Ling Street^ ? outfall of lion of the as assumed 35 feet per per minute. 3 '.b'" will ') cubic feet couipanying n Street, to i?et, an en- the rate of icreased to t. per mile. 0, and with to 2352-3r) opulation is feet, equal gives the troets, the ! river, has 14 feet per 4<'.0" H reased, the ernge from 787 cubic ir From the cliffs below Mr. McKinnon's house to a point below> low water mark, it will be necessary to build the sewer down an incline of 40 feet in 100, and as the (!is<: barge of sewage from so large a population must necessarily hi oflensive,it will be requisite to construct that part of the sewer with especial care ; it should be set in cement, and carried down to a point below the surface of low water. One of the great objects gained by delivering the sewerage of the City at the p int indicated, will be that of having it carried away at on;e by the current ; the evil arising from allowmg it to gyrate for weeks in the various eddies sure to be encountered at any other point are avoided, and ui a sanitary point of view, the importance of removing the filth of a Lrge city cannot be over-rated. The capacity of the last portion of the main drain will be equal to the discharge of 3071-20 cubic feet per minute. The rain fall due to the whole area to be drained, would only reach 356 cu ,.ic feet per minute, while a population of 65,000 souls, at an average of 30 gallons sewerage matter per head per day, would furnish 431 cubic feet, making a total of 787 cubic feet per minute, or \ the capacity ot the sewer. STREET DRAINAGE. The main sewer forming the natural axis of the surface drain- age, the leading street drains are lateral to it, consequently the greatest length atlnirjid by any of these drains will jiot much ex- ceed 3,000 I'eet, all (he parallel streets will thus have the smaller drains, as the disposition of the surface compels draining in the din^ction of the greatest outfall^ the intersection of the lateral sti-eets cutting up those parallel to King Street, into small blocks. Assuming a length (.>f 4,000 feet as the greatest to be drained continuously, and tlie width of street 6(5 feet, and of lots on both sides 99 feet, = 264 feet, which sum mulliplind by 4,000, will give an aiea 1,056^000 square feet area, at 50 souls to the acre, the |)opulation would equal 1,210, rain fall of 39 inches would give a discharge of 6^ 41 ! ', 12 cubic feet per minute ; sewerage at 30 gallons per head jjerdiem, equal 4.^ cubic teet per minute, thus giving a to-?i of 11 cubic feet per minute to be disposed of. Tiie dimensions of the longer street drams being equal to 2 feet by 3 feet, with a depth of water equal to 2 feet, will discharge with a fall of 10 feet per mile f399 cubic feet per minute. For the cross drains, a much smaller size will suffice, llie dimensions according to drawing, will be 1'.6" t-i 2 '.4.", The form adopted for the sewers is that commonly known as egg-shaped, because it combines the advantages of great strength and resistance to vertical pressure, as well as allowing the utmost scouring capacity, and cmsequently preventing the deposit of sediment. It is advisable to build the main sewer in stone to the springmg of the upper arch, the boitom and sides of the sewer to that point being composed of single brick, lying as shewn in drawings. The upper arch or crown of the drain being of double brick. The smaller sewers, street drains, manholes being built of brick set in cement, all the brick work should be set in cement. Gutter drains and house drains should be earthenware pipes, 6 inches in diameter. The gutter drains should be put in at 500 feet apart or to suit ti)e blocks into which ihc .ity is divided. The man- boles in the main sewer are to be 1,000 feet apart, and should serve as gutter sewers also. Before closing my observations on this subject of drainage, T would wish to enforce the necessity which exists for one uniform and comprehensive system as necessary to the sanitory condition of an Increasing population, as it is imperatively demanded for the success and preservation of the works requisite to insure commer- cial intercourse. The drainage of that part of the Cily known as the Lower Town is naturally defective, and the attempts which have been made to improve it are failures, because no proper outfall has - been established for the desultory and ineflective measures under- iuken. For the uppei' portion of this division of the City, an out-. 13 i:er diem, 11 cubic the longer depth of feet per IS, a much » drawing, known as t strength he utmost deposit of one to the B sewer to shewn in of double It of brick Gutter 5 inches in feet apart The man- nd should rainage, T le uniform condition ed for the ! comraer- *}e Lower have been utfall has res under- ly, an out-. fall might be had by draining into the Rideau Kiver, but all eastward of Dalhousie Street is under the influence of that stream at high water, and drainage to any beneficial extent could not be secured. The condition of the Rideau River itself is such as to ignore the idea of any attempted drainage in that direction, which could only result in converting it into an immense cess-pool. As the portion of the City lying along that river is little better than a swamp, and northward of Rideau Street it is the most densely populated portion of the City, the condition of its inhabi- tants can be surmised, but it requires actual experience to appre- ciate the discomfort endured in wet weather from its almost un- known depth of mud, and the eftluvia arising from its frequent stagnant pools of water. The fearful prevalence of the smallpox during the last season is one of the many evils of a similar descrip- tion due as much to the unhealthiness of a locality without effi- cient drainage, as to the epidemical character of the disease. The funds of the Corporation have been wasted from time to time in desultory efforts at drainage, ridiculous in design, and totally inapplicable to the purposes intended, as well as utterly useless in the prospects of any general system hereafter to be adopted. So absurd is the manner in which the drains hitherto constructed in this city, have been designed and budt, that a system of opc7i sewers would be far preferable for all useful purposes. It could only arise from gross ignorance of the effects produced by the concentration of the sewerage of a densely populated neighbor- hood that drains built of loose stone covered with cedar, and without sufficient outAill would be allowed to be constructed at al.", as the inevitable result must have been to destroy the cellarage of the City in a little while, and to convert the houses into recep- ticles for the worst kind of miasmas. In addition, the designs for those drains are the worst possible, a rectangular form being best adapted for silting up by the deposit of the heavier material held in suspension by the sewerage water, and it is only stating a well- known fact to assert that nearly all those drains at present con- structed are now silting up to a considerable extent. The con- clusion which must be forced on the public mind is that a general system of drainage must be adopted ; that the first step in that di- ' 1! tr -f u rection must he taken by constructing a main sewer, nud that it will be more ecouomical lo undertake those improvements de- manded by the altered condition of lliis City simutoneously, so that the laying of the pipes for water supply can be accomplished while tlw sewerage excavation is refilling, arid the surplus being employed to grade the f.treets, the macadamization may be completed immediately after. STREET PAVING AND MACADAMIZATION. The next subject for consideration will be the Improvement of the Streets and Highways of the City. It is a well known rule that good roads are as necessary to trade and commerce as good markets, and it might be added that one of these conditions generally makes the other. At the basis of any system of street improvement, the thorough drainage must lie, because it is ridiculous to witness the eflorts made to macadamize in what is literally a sea of mud, and the available asset:^ of the Corpora- tion are expended in fri.itless endeavours to construct roads through a morass^ from the surface of which they disappear the first wet day. The condition of some of our leading streets is proof positive of tiiirj matter. It is a great mistake to suppose that a quantity ot broken shale thrown over a thoroughfare is the proper melhod of construction. It is a mere perversion of terms to call sucli a proceeding macadamiz;ition. Tliis at best is but squandering uselessly i'unds which juJicioujly empioved would be a benfficial investment for the City. As remarked before, the first operation must be the provision foi- tliorouj,h drainage ; the road bed should be then graded and s dud. This hist operation coMsi'?ts in covering it with stiff cl.iy to a deptii of ihri^! incli(!s ; ovim- tliat a layer of small boulders from tliice to five incluis in diaiiinter, should be placed, ard the broken stone fur mac idariiizition to a depth of eighteen inches in the centre, slopin;;- to l^vehp inches at the gutter, shou' .1 be laid. The road bed i^liould he ca^.t high^T in the centre, at the rate of twelve inches in fii'ly fuft, so as to allow a slope for the surface water to run ofl freely. Advantage should m I niid that it ements de- Jsly, so that icomplished rpliis being n may be )N. ovement of known rule ce as good conditions my system ie, because ize in what e Corpora- ruct roads iappear the ling streets mistake to n over a 1. it is proceeding f uselessly investment n uKist be should be 11 covering a layer of should be a depth of les nt the ■ high'T in as to allow [age should 15 be taken of the inclinatiou of the surface to construct the side drains with such an mclination to the nearest gutter drain as to prevent the possibihty of overflowing ; and the macadamization should follow the contou. of the transverse section of the road bed, which outline should be carefully preserved in all subsequent repairs. The material used in construction should be hard stone ; the limestone of this neighbourhood is too soft and friable, filled with shale, easily disintegrated by atmospheric action, and crushed into plastic mud by a few days' traffic. The Nepean Sandstone appears to be a hard and durable material, and, if of the value asserted in the Commissioners of Public Works' Report, might be rendered available for the required purpose ; but I should not like to recommend its use till after fair trial. But the common Syenite or Gneiss is incomparably the best material, and would be the cheapest, because the most durable. Still, macadamization is inadmissable where a large traffic exists, and other methods roust be resorted to. The experience of all cities is against the adoption of macadamization as applied to great leading thorough* fares, and edorls have been made in many places to Bnd a substitute in Asphalt, Wood Paving, Brick, and even Cast Iron, as a remedy for the inconvenience arising from clouds of dust or unlimited quantities of tine mud. After fair and sufficient trial, each of those experiments were discarded in turn as fadures, and the common stone block pavements of those road-makers of the ancient world — the old Romans — resorted to as the nearest approach to ,)erfection, thus illustrating 4he sage observation of the wise king, that " there is nothing new under the sun." The method followed by the ancient conquerors of the civilized world, after a lapse of two thousand years, commands our admiration, because they appear to have viewed their Public Works as being built for the benefit of their successors, and therefore took every precaution to make them as imperishable as the material of which they were constructed. The use of wheel carriages not being as extensive as in our day, there was no necessity for observing the rules which govern modern road-making in so far as the inclination was concerned ; but great care was observed in the construction. Although the grades might be inadmissable, still the structure ! ; i * -J I k\ If i i 16 Was without fault. It was ia all respects a raised causewa/; regularly graded, the bottom of the road bed formed of boulders Tarying from six to eight inches in diameter ; over this was laid a bed of concrete, in which the rough blocks were firmly embedded. At this day, when portions of roads so constructed have to be, removed for railway cuttings, the only method available is blasting, precisely in the same manner as of rock m situ, and portions of it come away, or are displaced, which must again be drilled and blasted before they are manageable. — Modern practice in this matter of formation, has been modified for two reasons : — In the first place, the expense of setting in concrete would be very great ; secondly, because the extensive use of wheel carriages, the consequent economy of animal power allowing heavier loads than the ancients ever dreamed of, by the limiration to easy rates of inclination, involve an amount of wear and degradation by actual mechanical means, which the ancient roads had not to encounter, and compelling the Comparatively frequent renewal of the modern ones. Those reasons rendered it necessary to substitute for the concrete some less adhesive material, so that the repairs needed might be accomplished without interfering with the integrity of the whole surface, and at the same time an efficient road bed in which the blocks would sit firmly, could be obtained. The usual method of building such roads at present is to place over the clay soling six inches of coarse sand^ and on ttiis to lay blocks of stone one foot in depth at least, and of as regular a shape as possible. In some cities those blocks are usually cut to a perfect cube of one foot ; but my own experience does not lead to the conclusion that such a course is at all necessary. My specification for the construction of such a roadway would run thus : " The road bed to be *' regularly formed as usual with an inclination from the centre, " of one foot in 25, soling of three inches in stiff clay, smoothly "and fairly laid, six inches of coarse gravel spread over the " soling, and the stone blocks to be evenly and neatly laid in " same ; one row through the centre of the width to be paved, " to be laid first — the outer rows on each side, next laid, so as to " act as curb stones, and the remainder of the block to be laid } causeway; ] of boulders this was laid were firmly constructed only method s of rock in which must mageable. — een modified of setting: in he extensive inimal power id of, by the ount of wear I the ancient omparatively ons rendered ess adhesive accomplished surface, and blocks would I of building ; six inches of foot in depth n some cities tie foot ; but that such a construction d bed to be n the centre, ly, smoothly 2ad over the eatly laid in be paved, laid, so as to c to be laid 17 '•' between, beginning from the centre and each side, so as to " leave one row as keystones. Care should be taken to keep the " upper surface as close to the sectional contour as possible, and " the true grade of the road on Longitudinal section, should be " preserved." The superficial area of such blocks should not be greater than two feet square, larger stones being liable to get out ot position and to injure the general structure. I would recommend that from Union Bridge, through Duke, George, Wellington, and Rideau Streets to Rideau Bridge, this style ol road making be adopted for a width of 20 feet in the cen- tre of the road, as shewn in drawing No. 7. From the inter^ section of Su^sRX Street, to foot of Bridge at New Edinburgh, a similar construction is desirable. The remainder of those streets should be macadamized with broken gneiss, and good gutters fprmed at the sides, 'i he cost involved in this measure, although necessarily great, will not be useless, because a roadway propeily constructed after the proposed design, will last for many years, and will only require partial repairs. The difference of cost between it and the miserable attempt at macadamization resorted to at present, is so small as to make it a matter of very little impor- tance in the consideration of this subject. I would propose that the remainder of the thoroughfares of the City should be macadamized with broken gneiss; but in no case should the native limestone be used. The construction of gutters as shown on Section No. 10, is necessary ; they should be formed of stones set edgewise. Curb stone, next street, should oe at least 2 feet deep j and great care should be taken in the construction to build the gutter with all the attributes of an inverted arch. I would also reioinmend that flagged sidewalks be substituted in all the main thoroughfares for the present wooden apologies; and in all others, that grave' sidewalks be built, as ;5hown in drawing No. 10. Those walks should be formed in the usual way of preparing a macadamized road : the bottom should be composed of boulders to a depth of six inches, over this coarse gravel should be placed and levelled, while the whole should be blinded with fine sand. At the outer edge a heavy curb-stone should be placed, on edge ,pf not less than two fe?t ir. depth by eight joches in ividth. The rl I I I ''I I ! 18 sidrvralk should have a surface inclination towards the gutter of six inches in twelve feet. The cost will not be much greater than thii present nuisances, and the advantages in comfoit and a sanatory point of view, beyond all comparison. The great objects 10 be attained by a comprehensive measure of this description, are cleanliness, facility for traffic, and positive freedom from the calamities of annual ejuJemics, and with a proper supply of water, comparative immunity from fire. The plans proposed for effecting those objects are in accordance with the natural facilities afforded by the situation of the City, and therefore at the minimum of cost the disposition of the main sewer enables three-fourths of its length to be constantly flushed by the waste of the Canal ; and the By-wash, instead of being a source of disease and a nuisance to the low-lying portions of the City, will be made available as a medium of cleanliness. The smaller sectional area of the main drain westward of the Canal, its great outfall, and the facilities which it affords for ordinary flushing operations, renders the consideration of artificial means to that end of only secondary importance. The Longi- tudinal sections of the streets will show that every advantage has been taken of the natural surface to prevent expensive excavation, and the best and most effective system of macadamization has been recommended as in the end the most economical. I look upon the opening of Wellington Street and the erection of a new bridge as a substitute for the existing one, (^known as Sappers Bridge) to be absolutely necessary. This would involve a large amount of excavation from the end of Elgin Street to the foot of the new bridge, and would necessitate the levelling of the who'e area between Wellington and Spnrks Street, at the point of junction. This Bridge should have sixty feel of width between the roadways, and according to sketch shown in No. 9, fihould be one hundred feet span. It should be an Iron Lattice Bridge with Stone Abutments and Wing Walls. — - Sketch No. 11 shows the plan proposed to adapt it to to Sparks and Wellington Streets. I would also advise tbe ereetioD of a new Bridge, according to design in sketch \y gutter of six greater than foit and a The great uru of this nd positive ith a proper cts are in situation of imposition of e constantly I, instead of ing portions cleanliness, ward of the affords for I of artificial The Longi- kantage has i excavation, mization has I. the erection , (^known as I'ould involve in Street to i levellms of reet, at the feet of width vn in No. 9, be an Iron ig Walls. — • adapt it to also advise s;n in sketch No. 8, across the Rideau at t!u foot of Rideau Street. — Instead of passing on the site of the present Bridge, it would be advisable to pass the new structure over the foot of the Island, and elevate it considoinbly : it should be of three spans of 180 feet each. I would also recommend a similar Bridge to be erected at the foot of St. Andrew's Street, passing on to the large Island in the Rideau, and across that to the Eastern channel, over which a single ?pan will carry it to the eastern shore. The erection of the Bridge at the foot of Rideau Street will involve some excavation on the end of that street, which is provided for in the estimates, and will have the effect of lessening the ascent. The reason for the bridge at Park Street is to allow ready access to the Wharf and Railway Station. It is a mistaken notion to suppose that confining th,'0uld be equal to nearly 145 horse power. Having demonstrated the perfect practicability of the projected supply, the next consideration is the quality of the water and its adaptibility to domestic purposes. The River Ottawa furnishes an unfailing supply of pure water, unchanged in quality by freshets, and preserving its purity for a long period, deriving its source from and traversing a region of crystalline rocks; it is singularly free from taint by decayed vegetable matter, while the large and extensive hikes it traverses act as natual filters for the deposit of any sediment it may have held in solucion. It thus reaches the City so pure that the question of infiltration need not be entertained. Personal experience has demonstrated its palatable and healthy qualities, as well as its thorough fipplicability to all domestic purposes, while the aid of the chemist enables us to perceive and appreciate the reasons of its superior qualities. In colour it is of a pale yellow amber, and its chemical composition is as follows : Carbonate of Lime, - - . . 0-2480 " Magnesia, .... -6696 Silicia, -2060 Chloride of Potassum, .... '0160 Sulphate of Potash, .... oi22 " Soda, .... 0188 Carbonate of Soda, .... 0410 Alumina and Oxyde of Iron Traces, Manganese and Phosphorous do.. 0G116 As none of the sewerage of the City will bo discharged into tho River above the falls, tho water can be taken from the Bay, and with a little precaution, without the intervention of a supply pipe, from the mill-lead at the wheel-house. The next question for consideration is that of quantity. A supply of 30 gallons per head per diem for a population of 25,000, would equal 750,000 gallons. Allowing 250,000 gallons m jrc for the use of tho Parliament Building and for the City, to be employed for purposes of cleanliness or embellishment, we have a total of t' gals, de- reservoir could bo ^Y minute, reckoning a velocity leel \,'ould trated the isiderution purposes, are water, urity for a region of 7 decayed t traverses ■ have held question of ience has veil as its e aid of the sons of its er, and its J480 5696 2060 )160 )123 )188 )410 5116 id into tho Bay, and upply pipe, A supply 300, would for tho use nployed for a total of 0'\ 1,000,000 (one million) gallons per diem to be supplied, giving the Reservoir a storage capacity for seven days, A single pump will deliver over one and one quarter million gallons in 24 hours, and as there is provision made for four pumps, casualties arising can be provided against and a constant fiupply kept up. But it is a question deserving the serious attention of the Corporation, whether it would not be advisable to obtain by purchase or otherwise a site for another Reservoir oi similar capacity. Such site is available'on the Sherwood property. I would earnestly advise the City authorities to obtain the site marked on the accompanying plan, on which the relative positions of tho Reservoirs, Wheel-hf-.j Mill-lead, and rising Main, are marked. It would bo as wen to observe that the proposed working power could be made available to its fullest extent, so that the question of quantity to be supplied is not of anyseri>us consideration: with the power at hand it would be a mere affair of expense. The last element necessary to the success of this great measure is that of cost, and it cannot be said to be a very heavy matter when tho prospective and peculiar position of the City is to be taken into consideration. Its greatest item, as before stated, is the construction of the Reservoir, but that is an unavoidable outlay it would bo impossible to dispense with. I hnvc made the calculations on an increase of population to 25,000, and with an additional Reservoir the works will be capable of supplying water to double that number at least. I have estimated what I know to be ample sums for the construction of those works, and I hold tenders from mechanical Engineers in this City who are prepared to contract for the machinery and water pipes at the prices given by me. The advMitage of having all the machinery constiuctod in this City is sufficiently obvious, and sho Id not be overlooked, as it is one of the benefits likely to arise from an extensive measure of this kind, calculated to develop the manufac uring cnpabilities of this City, and ^0 establish amongst us that mechanical sui>eriority which our material resources demand, and which the progress of events assuredly requires. The Estimates for the completion of this measure will be found appended, and it behoves the people of this Citv to see what the actual denifiu'l on their resources will be in connection thyrowith. As before stated, they are amply sufficient to meet the requirements of the design placed before the Council, and arc nr t in excess of tho doQiand. It is a subject of serious consideratioD for the people qf '\l u III • m i\\ 26 this City, that it bo prepared to take the high position awaiting- it, and that no mistaken economy will interfere to prevent the inaugu- ration of measures imperatively demanded by the exiscnciis of thi.s case. With the example before us of the c:(ies of Ore. t Brit.iiti and the continent of Kurope, the founders of thosu new s ats of empiro on the American continent, have an ineiteni'Mt and a precedent to gui'.le them in adojjting a differmt mode of procedare. Now is the time to establish an efiicient system of imptovements calculated to promote the comfort and sanitory condition of the people and facilitate the development of the commercial and manufacturing interests of the country. COST OF CONSTRUCTION, AND DESCRIPTION OF WORKS. The leading thoroughfare through the City is from Union Bridge to the Bridge over the llideau River at the foo*^ of Bit'eau Street. From East end of Suspension Bridge to West end qf Bridge over Mill leads and Lumber Slide channels, — a distance of 332 feet, — this street must be paved twenty leet wide in tlie centre with blocks of gneiss laid on six inches of sand. The remainder of the width, forty-six feet, should be macndnmiz'-d. The substratum being rock, will not require any of the conditions demanded by other streets ; and the situation of this portion of the City bping on an island, no necessity exists for taking its drainage into consideration. The length of the Bridge connect- ins it with Bridge Street, is 480 feet. It is a wooden structure built on stone piers with an average width of 18 feet, and should be replaced by a wider structure ; in fact, all those bridges should be 40 to 60 feet wide, but as it is in good repair, it does not seem necess.iry to include a new structure in the Estimates. From East end of Bridge to junction of Duke and Bridge Street, a distance of 460 feoT, with a width of 60 feet, the paving, as described, being 20 feet wide ; two flagged sidcvvalks of 12 feet each : macadamizntion of 16 feet. Duke Street has a length of 872 feet and a width of 60 feet, to junction of Queen Street ; Queen Street from Duke Street to foot of Pooley's Bridge, 220 ft. length, 60 ft. width. Within 32 ft. of the East end of Pooley's Bridge, a house used as a blacksmith's shop appears by the boundaries to be on this street. Pooley's Bridge, a wooden structure 145 feet long and 24 feet wide : it is built on be?itSf waiting it, ho inaua;u- cii s of this e: t Biit.iin '.V s ats of it and a procoflaro. ivovcnients ion of the ircial and WORKS, oni Union le foo* of e to West anneis, — a wenty leet es of sand, ndfimiz'^d. conditions portion of taking its e connect- 1 structure and should Iges siiould does not Estimates.

The roadway is about 30 feet above the bed of the Ivavine over whiclj the Bridge crosses. I would advise that this R:ivino be filled with the debris coming from ti)e excavation of the clitTs, a culvert of three feet diameter placed in tlie centre of the Ravine, and the surface levelled southward for 200 feet. A str.et called Perkins Street is shown oh some of the City maps as running from this point southward to Broad Street, neither of those streets are open, but the line of the Ravine through which Perkins Street runs, is the key of the drainage of the Flats and all that surface contained west of Concession B and C which cannot be effected by the main sewer. The area of this surface will be 34S'3'15 acres, discharge from which will be 9i< cuhic feet per min., and from 17,000 inhabitants, 60 c. f. : total — 154* cuhic feet. It is proposed to dr.iin through this street info a sewer 2x3, and an outfall of ten feet per mile wdl give its discharging capacity, at a depth of two feet in drains, as 599 cubic feet per mmute. This sewer is to reach to the head of the Bay, where a sluice is to be constructed to secure ample flushing power and an embankment drawn across the head of this Ravine. Immediately adjoining the North East corner of this Bridge, a house has been buiit within the last three years. — Existing boundaries .«how this house to be on Queen Street, previous to its junction with George's Slreet; but it is for the Council to ascertain what authority placed those boundary stones in position, or of what value they may be. As the house now stands, it is a nuisance, simply because it compels a turn at right angles on a steep descent, and must be removed either by purchase or other means, before the thoroughfare can be fairly said to be open. The house stands 65 feet from the end of the Bridge, and it leaves the approach thereto only 62 feet wide. !From the Bridge to George Street, a distance of 65 feet — from thence to end of Wellington Street, 785 feet, the average width of the present street is 42 feet, but it must be widened to 66 feet at least. Wellington Street has open i length of 3680 teet, measuring from Dr. Hill's house to East side of line of intersection of Elgin Street and from thence to foot of proposed Bridge over ! > I ,1 28 Canal and River 400 feet to be opened. The average width is 96 feet, of which 20 feet is to be paved and f^2 feet macada- mized. Flagged sidewalks for the whole leiigth are advisable, and T propose to raise the present surface of th; street between Bank and Hugh Streets, on the average twelve inches. A similar elevation will be necessary between Metcalfe and Elgin Streets. From the Eastern side of the latter street it is proposed to excavate, as shown on Section No. 1, to head o. proposed Bridge, and to adapt that Bridge to suit the traffic between both sides of the City, through Sparks Street and Wellington Street. The grade, as shown on Section, will give an inclination of 6'7 in 100 feet, tl)e length of the structure constituting the Bridge will be 260 feet, and the embankment or filling to foot of present Sappers' Bridge shows an inclination of 5.5 feet m 100. — The cost of this structure, with a Bridge span of 100 feet of Iron, Abutments of stone, Wing Walls, etc., etc., and filling, has been estimated. The total length is 320 feet. The length of Rideau Street from present gate at ^oot of Sappers' Bridge to end of Kideau St., is 6125 ft.; width 96 ft., and 66 at lower end. Several obstructions occur in this street. On the West side of Nelson St., North of Rideau, at the junction, a portion of the fence of a lot owned by Mr. A. McGibney, appears to be on the street, and from that point the true alignment of the street has been intruded on by houses and fences. It is proposed to pave 20 feet of the width of this street, macadamize 52 feet, and flag sidewalks to junction of King Street. From the end of Rideau Street to present Kideau Bridge, a distance of 460 feet, the roadway must be widened and excavated, as shown in Section No. 1. A new bridge should be thrown across the River at this point, elevated considerably above the level of the present Bridge, so as to reduce .the ascent. The cost of this is also estimated. This excava- tion should extend from the head of the Bridge to Wirtemberg Street, and the rate of inclination should be 4' .7" in 100 feet. The present surface should be excavated to an average depth of 2'.6'' from Cobourg to Gloucester Street, and filled from thence to King Street, an average depth of 18 inches, from that street to Ottawa Street, a filling of the same depth will be required. This is shown on Street Section No. 1. e width is macada- advisable, : between :hes.

DESCRIPTION OF STREETS TO BE IMPROVED. Sussex Street. This street joins Rideau Street nearly at its north-western termination and runs for a distance of 2937 feet in a northerly direction, to a point at which it is intersected by Bolton Street, opposite the site of the Soap Manufactory. Its width is 66 feet, and it is the most westerly of the streets of Lower Town parallel with the anticlinal axis of the City at King Street. As far as its drainage will be concerned, it may be said to be adapted to the purpose of a catchment drain, or rather a series of such drains of -^nia!! length, its natural outlets being the lateral streets east of K.ng Street. It is the natural highway to what must become the future port of this City, and the Railway Terminus, as a consequence a thorough- fare of great importance, and must be paved and improved as provided for in the Estimates. In connection with this subject of Paving, I would recommend that all street crossings be paved with blocks similar to than recommended for street paving. The sidewalks should be flagged. The plan proposed will not materially interfere with the present level of the streets or its alignment. The proposed sewer will be at an average depth of ten feet below the surface of the street, affording ample drainage, and its dimensions should be 1'.6" >i2'.0'', as shown in drawings, with earthenware pipes of six inches diameter inserted opposite each house and at each gutter trap. Such traps should not be less than 500 feet apart, and should be constructed to suit the climate. The existing grades of this street will not be materially interfered with. Metcalfe Street. Metcalfe Street runs from the north end of Sussex Street in an easterly direction to the Rideau River. Its total length is 2,590 hot and its width 60 feet. At the Eastern end it will require heavy filling, but this operation can be cheaply effected by the spoil of tlie main sewer which crosses it under Dalhousie Street. It is proposed to pave, macadamize, and flag the sidewalks of this street From its limited arsa it3 drainage will be effected by the small sized sewer. It is hardly built upon, and its principal importance is derived from the Railway Terminus being at present located at its southern ;! 'i ll » (■ 30 end. It is tho second outlet tlie city possesses in an Eastei'ly direction. McKay Street. This street is 870 feet long and GO feet wide. It joins ?>retcfilfo Street oh its Northern side and terniiimtos nt the clilis over '.ho Ottawa River. It appears to be tho cxticmo Northern toriuination of Lower Town, is not properly oponr-d, and can hardly bee >nu' of sufficient importance to make it a subject of special care. Tlurc is provision for macadamizing and supplying it \rith gravel sidewalks. Its draining will only require the sniitller sewers. Baii'd Slrcet. Baird Street extends from the norta cr.d of Carleton Street, in a westerly direction, to the Ottawa River. It is only open to Anglcsca Square — a length of 797 feet, with a width of GO, The calculi tioua for macadamizing and improving this street will bo found in the proper place. Its drainage will be effected by tho small sewer. liedpatlb Street Extends from the undivided space on tho west bank of the Ridoau, between King and Carleton Streets, to the south end of Aiiglesea Square. A house stands ncarl}' in the middle of this street, which must be removed. The length of this street is 1337 feet, width CG feet. It is contemplated to macidamizc and drain it as proposed. For cost,' see the estimate. Its small superficial area will only require the small drain. McTaggart Street. The Ottawa and Prescott Railway occupies the centre of Mc- Taggart Street. Both sides of this street must be improved. Its width of 66 feet will permit 20 feet of clear space being left to tho Railway, which will leave 23 feet to each side of the street avail.tbe for roadway. Its length from the Bridge to Terminus of Radway on Metcalf Street, is 2080 feet. Its western end towards the river is not opened. The side-walks on this street will l)e 10 feet wide. There should be a good, substantial post and rail fence placed along the Railway, separating it from the street on each side. As the main drain nearly bisects this street, its sewage will only require one of the smaller drains to discharge it. Boteler Street. Boteler Street starts from the west bank of the Rideau, and runs to the ciiflFs over the Ottawa, intersecting King,, Carleton, Dalhousie 31 and Metcalf Streets. Us western end, beyond the latter street, lvider. There arc strong reaso:;s for supposing that tho original boundaries of this street have been removed within a very short time, and the alignment of the street altered thereby. It is also alleged that the lot boundaries or lines are also altered ; but from whatever cause it has arisen, the alignment of the street — especially on tho North side — has not been preserved. If those houses on tho south side arc built on the original line, tho true alignment of tho street is preserved on that side ; but it is evident on the north side E 32 'W •I ! this is not the case. The boundary stone on the north-west corner of this street has been (as alleged) removed 2i or 3 feet eastward of its original position, and four feet southward. There is also a house at the north-east corner of this street, at its junction with King Street, which is nearly 10 feet on the street, and also on King Street. The improvements contemplated in this street are comprised in its raacadamization and drainage : for the first a provision is made in the estimates, and for the latter a sower of 2 x 3 feet will be amply sufficient. 3t. Andreio's Street. From Sussex street to King street, a dif^ianco of 2178 feet, St. Andrew's street, with a main width of 62 feet, is in every respect similar to Bolton street, with the exception that the actual alignment of the street has boon pi i^served. The singular appearance of the block bounded on the south hy Rideau street, on the east by King street, on the west by Sussex street, and on the north by Cathcart street, cannot fail to attract attention, as much from the diversity of the widths of the streets as want of uniformity in the dimensions of the lots. The frrquent complaints made of changes in boundaries, and the uneasiness felt by the owners of the property thereon, as well as the extraordinary appearance it presents, leads to the con- viction that some great blunder had been perpetrated in the origi- nal surveys. The only way in which any dispute which may arise from this state of things can be settled is by reference to original plans, if such exist, or by compromise, in which public and privats interests will be conserved by mutual concessions. Provision has been made in the estimates for improving this street by macadamizing it and by draining. This latter object will be ef- fected by a sewer of the dimensions of 2 feet by 3 feet. Parh Street. Pa.'.: street is merely a continuation of St. Andrew's street, from King street to the Rideau River. It is 1871 feet in length, with a width of 62 feet. It is to be macadamized, and drained by a sewer 2 feet by 3 feet. I have proposed to erect a bridge from the end of this street to the Island in the Rideau, and make a road over it, with another bridge over the eastern channel — thus adding another outlet to the Lower Town. Church Street. Church street, from King street to Sussex street, measures 2188 trcst corner eastward of ilso a house with King King Street. omprised in ion is made ill bo amply 78 feet, St. rery respect al alignment ranco of tho ist by King by Cathcart diversity of iinensions of boundaries, thereon, as i to the con- in the origi- zh may arise I to original and privats ig this street it will be ef- strect, from igth, with a 1 by a sewer n the end of over it, with lother outlet asures 2188 feet. Its width is G2 feet, and it requires to be macadamized and drained. Tho necessary provision is made in tho estimate. Tho Gcwcrago will be 2 by 3 feet. St, Patrick Street. From its intersection of King street, St. Patrick street measures to Sussex street 2183 feet, with a width of 02 feet. It is similar to all the streets before enumerated in physical aspect, but presents a more densely populated neighborhood. It is generally in a wretched condition, in consequence of the want of drainage — an evil which affects tho whole district under consideration. Provision is mado in the estimate for tho necessary improvements. Tho drainage will require a sewer of 2 x 3 feet, Ottaim Street. Ottawa street is a prolongation of St. Patrick's street, from King street to the Rideau, Its length is 2820 feet, and width 60 feet. It furnishes presumptive evidence of tho conclusion arrived at when describing St. Andrew's street, and induces the suspicion that those streets had been originally laid out at a width of 60 feet. Tho popu- lation on this street is sparse, and it presents all tho features of a suburban street. The estimates detail the cost of its improvements. It will require a sewer of 2x3 feet. Murray Street. From Sussex to King streets, a distance of 2188 feet, Murray street measures 60 feet in width. It intersects Dalhousie and Cum- borland streets, and will not require much surface change. It is to be macadamized and drained. For the latter operation, a sewer 3 feet by 3 will be requisite. Clarence Street. Clarence street measures 2183 feet in length, from Sussex street to King street. It is 08 feet wide and will require the usual im- provements. Its drainoge demands a sower of 2 >< 3 feet. Parry street is a continuation of this street, and from King street to west side of Anglesea Square is 1303 feet long, and 04j wide. It will require similar improvements, and a drain 2 >< 3 feet, as it is in a neighborhood of no great elevation above King street. Torh Street. From its junction with Sussex street to King street, York street ;measures 2180 feet, with a width of 132 feet. It will require the ii 34 improvements detailed in estimates, and the capacity of its sewers must be equal to a drain of 3 ^«! 3 feet. Some of the lots on the lower end of this street appear to be in a confused state ; and it is alleged that they are more complicated by recent surveys, George's Street. George's street is 1C90 feet in length. It extends from Sussex street to <■ iii.lierland ttrcet, and has a wiilth of 125 feet. It inter- sects Dalhousie street, and is disfigured by an Engine House which stands in the centre, opposite Mosgrovc street. The waste water of the Rideau Canal is carried down this street in an open channel so:ne 10 or 12 feet wide to Dalhousie street, where it is passed under a bridge and through several lots into York street, near its junction with King street, George street requires a drain of 2 feet by 8 feet for its sewerage. DalJioiisie Street. From Rideau street to McKay street, Dalhousio measures 4213 feet, with an average width of 58 feet. Its course nearly north and south, and parallel to Sussex street, being situated on the slope of that hill to which Sussex street may bo snid to act as a catchment drain. The iuiprovenient of Dalhousie street is by no means a diffi- cult task, as ali the lateral drains between King street and Sussex street have sewers of comparatively large area; and as those streets intersect Dalhousie street, all portions of it south of Cathcart street will only require a drain of 1.6 :< 2.0 feet. North of Cathcart street, the remainder of Dalhousie is occupied with the main sewer. The contemplated improvement in addition is macadamization. Oumlerland Street. Cumberland street measures, from Rideau street to Cathcart Square, 2G14, with a width of 58 feet. Its general outline is level, as it lies nearly at the foot of that elevation of which Dalhousie street occupies the slope, and Sussex street the crest. Its drainage from Rideau sti-eet to York will be effected by a drain of 2 x 3 feet. From that to its termination at Cathcart Square, drains of 1,6 >^ 2.0 feet will bo sufl&cient. It is to be macada^uzcl and improved as pro- vided in the estimates. King Street. The anticlinal axis between the cliffs overhanging the Ottawa, and the range of sand hills above the Rideau River, from tho western S-) its sewers to bo in a )licated by )m Sussex It intcr- )URc ^yhich c water of n channel is passed it, near its n of 2 feet iures 4213 north and 10 slope of catchment ans a diffi- nd Sussex lose streets icart street 3art street, ver. ization. bank of that river a short distance above the Falls, holds a southerly course to Rideau street. Along the bottom of this valley King street has been laid out; but the range of heights bordering it on the east sweeps around to the westward, and arc prolonged till merged in the cliffs overhanging Le Briton's Flats, beiow the junction of Maria street with Concession B C. King street, from its junction with Rideau street to the banks of the Rideau River, measures 392G feet, with a width of 132 feot. Its improvements will consist m macadamization and drainage. This last will be effected by the main sewer to the junction of Cathcart street, and from that point by a sewer 1.6 x 2.G feet. This street commands the drainage of the whole city; and particu- larly that portion of it contained between Rideau street and the delta formed by it and the Rideau and Ottawa Rivers. The whole of the district within these lines require effective drain- age, because the lower and more densely populated portions are without suflicient outfall. It is a curious fact, that the low lying portions of every city are always most densely peopled — as if mias- matic influence possessed attractions which were irrcsistablc. — Whatever may ue the cause of this strange anomaly, it is certain that the fact to be dealt with is one of the utmost importance in a sanitary point of view ; and that is, the effective drainage and im- provement of this part of the city cannot with safty be postponed any longer, and the construction of this main sewer should be under- lindertaken as soon as possible — because every month is adding to the accumulation of filth in and about those low lying districts, and the state of the streets and thoroughfares is a disgrace to any com- munity. No remedy short of thorough and effective drainage will suffice to rectify this staH of matters. 'If > Cathcart ne is level, lusie street nage from et. From lx2.G feet ;d as pro- tta>va, and western Carleton Street. Carleton street may be said to leave Cumberland street at the junction of Cathcart street, forming with the latter the east and south sides of Cathcart square. Its length to Metcalf street is 1820 feet, with a width of 06 feet. Its improvements consist in macadam, ization and drainage. For tho latter, a drain of 2 x 3 feet will be required. St. Paul Street. St. Paul street extends from the east bank of the Rideau Canal to Nicholas street — a length of 912 feet, by 58 feet in width. It is to be macadamized and drained. The sewer should be 1 '.6 "ft. x3'.6'' M 36 Besserer Street Bessercr street, from the east side of Nicholas street to the bluflf over the Rideau River, measures 5300 feet in length, by 58 feet in width. It intersects Ottawa, Cumberland, King, Nelson, Gloucester, Chapel, Agusta, Cobourg, Charlotte and Wurtemburg streets. Its natural outfall is towards King street, although from the intersection of that street it is located on a plain at a considerable elevation above it. To grade this street properly there will be a good deal of cutting and filling, which is provided for in the estimates. Its drainage can be effected by sewors of 1.6 « 2.6 feet. Daly Street. Prom Nicholas to bluff over the Rideau, Daly street will measure 4880 feet, l^rom its position on the crest of the plain on which Besserer street is situated, the improvements of Daly street will be mucii easier effected. It intersects the same streets as Besserer, and its drainage will demand the same sized sewers, 1.6 x 2.6 feot. Steioart Street, Stewart street measures, from Ottawa street, 4680 feet to bluff over Rideau. It is 56 feet wide, and in every respect similar to Daly street Wilhrod Street Wilbrod street measures, from Ottawa street, 4160 feet ; is 58 feet wide, and similar to Stewart street. Theodore Street. Theodore street, from junction of Nicholas street and Gloucester Road to bluffs over the Rideau, measures 4440 feet ; is 66 feet wide, and similar to Wilbrod street in improvements. The population of these streets are very much scattered, but they cannot fail attracting inhabitants as other parts of the city becomes filled up. The size of sewers for this street will bo 1.6 x 2.6, Gloxicester Road. The Gloucester Road runs from the junction of Nicholas and Theo- dore streets to the City limits, a length of 2985 feet, with a width of 45 feet. It should be well macadamized, and drained by open water-tables or side-drains running into the ravine at the dam near the City limits. The road bed should be raised at this point, for which provision is made. the bluff 58 foet in loucester, ■eets.

Nelson street, from Rideau street to Ottawa street, measures 1523 feet ; is 58 feet wide, and requires macadamization and drainage. — Its outfall is in direction of Ottawa street, and it is intersected by Parry street. A drain of 1.6 m 2.G feet will suflBce for this street Gloucester Street. From Rideau to Ottawa streets, a distance of 1526 feet, Gloucester street is 05 feet wide. Its improvements consist in thorough drain- age and macadamization. It is governed by the same law that pre* scribes the size of drains tor Nelson street. Chapel Street, Augusta Street, Colourg Street, Charlotte Street, and Wurtemheig Street are not yet opened. It is not necessary taking them into account, because they belong to the same general design, and are governed by the same laws as to improvements and drainage outfall. In fact, the cost of a rod of macadamization or drainage in any of these streets east of King street will accurately measure the cost in the next street, and in every street so situated. Streets South of Rideau. The peculiarity of surface which makes King street the anticlinal axis of the City of Ottawa where that axis changes at the juncion of Rideau street, compels a similar natural division of the streets ex- tending laterally from Rideau street, parallel to and beyond King street, so that the distinction into south of Rideau street may be understood as a natural rather than an arbitrary division, especially when the same streets are named on both sides of that thoroughfare. From the eastern end of Rideau street to the point at which King street intersects, the natural drainage of the great plain on which the streets parallel to Rideau street are located, is to be found dolrn these streets through the lateral streets. Beginning at the extreme eastern end of Rideau street, we have Augusta street to the south, extending from Theodore street, and intersects Wilbrod, Stewart, Daly and Besserer streets. Its length, 1374; width, 66 feet. — Drainage demands a sewer 2 feet by 3 feet. Chapel Street. From Rideau to Theodore streets, length 1372 feet ; width 66 foot ; requires to be macadamized and drained. Sewers 3 m 3 feet, I ! ^i \'^^ :m Gloucester tSlrett.

Im- provements, macadamization and drainage. Sewers 2x3 feet. The excavation or filling for these streets is amply provided for in the estimates. Mosgrove Street. Mosgrove street is some 400 feet in length from St. Paul to Rideau i'.treets, and 198 feet to the north of the ln,tter street. It is 60 feet wide, and should be macadamized and drained. Sewers 1.6 « 2.6. Little Susse.i Street. * Little Sussex street, from St. Paul street to Rideau sti'cet, measures 367 feet in length by 33 feet in width. It should be macadamized and drained. Sewers l.G x 2.6. William Street. From Rideau to George streets 198 feet long, 38 feet wide. Mac- adamized and drained. Sowers 1.6x2.0. An extension of this street is desirable, from the north side of George street to the south side of York street. Sparhi Street. Sparks street, from the Sapper's Bridge to George's st'cct, mea- sures 4158 feet in length, 68 foct wide. Jjctwcen O'Connor auiJih varies from 30 to OG feet ; and as it is j)ara!lel to the main sewer, its drain- age will be delivered tlu'ough the lateral streets. This limits its Bfcwcr to aa area of l.G><2.6. Its other improvements consist of macadamization. Biddy Street. The length of Biddy street now open from Concession B C to Bank street, is 2i58 Let ; its width is 35 feet. As the property is not laid out in town lots, its improvements must be confined for the present to macadamization. Its drainage outfall is towards Bank street, and its sewerage will demand a drain 2x3. Centre Street. The length of Centre street now open is 4195, by 35 feet wide. It is in every respect similar to Biddy street, and will require a cor- responding system of improvement and drainage. Elgin Street. From Wellington to Queen str( its, Elgin street measures 530 feet by a width of 56 feet. As it will carry a portion of the drainage of Spaiks street, it will be necessary to construct its sewers with a view to that object; and, therefore, from its junction with Sparks street its sewers will be 2 x 3. F 40 I Metcalfe Street. This street, from Wellington to Maria streets, measures 1380 feet, by a main width of 60 feet. It will require heavy grading to pass it over the lo'.v ground between it and Maria street. Its improvements have been provided for — a largo portion of its filling being derived from tlio spoil of the main drain. Its sewerage— as it will take a portion of Sparks street, and also a portion of that collected at and beyond Maria street — will be equal to a sewer 2 >^ 3. 0^ Connor Street Is in every respect similar to Metcalfe street. Its length is 1320 feet, width 61 feet. Its drainage and general improvments will be similar. Banlc Street. Extending from the City limits to "Wellington street, a distance of 3050 feet, Bank street docs not possess a natural outfall for drainage, but an ?.rtificial inclination can be had without any extra expense, because its ground surface is comparaLively level. It is designed to conduct its drainage into tb^, main sower ; and as it will be the recipient of the drainage of a largo area, the size of its sewers will be 2x3. The northern end will also be of the same dimensions. There is a remarkable deflexion in the line of this street, com- mencing at Maria street and extending to Queen street. It will be necessary to widen this street; its present width below Maria street not being over 85 feet. JSugh Street. From Wellington to Maria streets, a distance of 1296 feet, Hugh street presents a width of 58 feet. It crosses the head of the main sewer of the City at where Albert street is projected to intersect ; and its improvements arc simply macadamization and drainage. As it is intended to carry the same area of drainage as other lateral streets, the capacity of its sewers must be of tho dimensions of 2><3. Sally Street Extends from Sparks street to Maria street. Its improvements will be macadamization and drainage. Its outfall will be towards the projected line of Albert street, through which a drain of 2 x 3 feet will carry its waters into tho main sewer, Its length is 1028 k^t ; width 60 feet. 1330 feet, ; to pass it rovementa ig derived ivill take a ted at and 1320 feet, :3 will be iistance of • drainage, a expense, esigned to i-ill be the crs will bo ons. reet, corn- It will be aria street eet, Hugh the main intersect ; nage.

It will follow the conditions of Sally street, as far as its improvements arc concerned, the drainage outfall from intersec- tion of Queen street lying through Albert street. Its drain may bo 2x3. Rklimoad Eoad. From City limits to Concc?sion B C, at jimciion of Maria street, the length of Richmond Road is 8337 feet ; its width is 66 feet. It is the Concession line between A and the First Concession, in the Township of Nepcan ; and from the line dividing Lots 39 and 40, it forms the City boundary to its junction with the lino dividing 38 and 39. It will require to be opened at the easterly end, vehere heavy rock cutting is necessary. Its drainage will be effected by Broad street, into Perkins street, and down the ravine into the proposed tailrace, below the present site of Pooley's Bridge. It will require a drain 2x3 feet. Albert Street. That portion of Albert street between B C and the Richmond Road finds its outlet for draining through the latter thoroughfare. It is 1010 foot in length, and 58 feet in width. It will require a drain of 1.6x2.6. Victoria Terrace. Victoria Terrace extends from Richmond Road at its junction with Broad street, to Pooley's Bridge. It measures 2000 feet, by 58 feet in width. It requires only the usual improvements, and a drain of 1.6 X 2.6. The outfall will bo to Perkins street. George's Street. George's street, from the end of Pnolt^y's Bridge, is 780 feet long, by 45 feet wide. At present it is formed by escarping the cliffs und>.r which it runs, and forming the road bj' partly embanking. It re- quires to be widened, and its improvements are included in the esti- mates for the main thoroughfare. Its drainage area is limited, and need not have a sewer larger than 1,6 x 2.6. Concession B C. This line crosses the City limits at the line dividing E and F from Lot Forty. It holds a northerly course till its junction with tho Richmond Road and Maria street, where it may be said to terminate 42 atpresfint on th© edge of the cliff. Its length is 2770 feet, width 45 feet. The contemplated improvements consist in simply macadam- izing this road. Its drainage outlet will be through Ba'ik street, along the City limits. TJiit as this portion of the City has not bten laid out in streets, a consideration of its details arc unnecessary, cspecitilly if any future contemplated extension of the City limits should inolude Lot 09 in the first Concession, its natural drainago would be in th.at direction to Richmond Road, through Perkins street to the ravine where the tailracc for the proposed water-works will discharge. Wellington Street. Occupying the slope of the Government Reserves called the Bar- rack Hill, on its soutiiorn face, and the cliffs on which the Episcopal Church stands, on ihc northern face, the drainage of Wellington street is governed by its peculiar location and its natural outfall, which is towards the river, at the upper end of this street ; and its drainage should be delivered into the Oltawa ne:\.ly on tlielino of Concession B and C. Its length and width will not materially alfoct the question of drainage, because its fall is so great that a drain of 2 « 3 is more than ample. The streets to the northward of it will be drained partly into it and partly into Victoria street, which will find an outlet through John street int j the Ottawa River. The whole of this drainage will be — Victoria street, 1220 feet ; John street, o27 feet ; about 200 feet of Hugh, Sn.lly, and Bank streets will be drained into Victoria street, and the balance into Wellington street. The dimensions of the drain for Victoria street will be 2 x 3 feet. The imprcvements on Victoria street will consist in excavating the eastern end, and raising it to a uniform grade from Hugh to Bank streets. Lc BrittorCs Flats. With the exception of Queen and Duke streets, none of tho thoroughfares arc more than partially open. In this distance its drainage is governed by the outfall through Duke street to tho river. Queen street is the proposed line of tb* Conduit for Water Works, and provision has been made in the estimates for improving all these streets. The various Islands need not be taken into consideration, because *hey have drainage outfall in every direction. 4-3 width 45 nacadam- ik street, not bten cccssnry, ity limits drninago ;ins street vorka will tlic Bar- Episcopal ^ton street , which is s diainaqc )unccs?ioii aflVct the \n of 2 « 3 Iv into \t it through inagc uill ibout 200 ,0 Victoria ensions of rcvements end, and tie of tho stance its tho river, jr Works, z all these Iii closing this description of the streets, it is evident Mint a thorou:jh and comprehensive system of drainage is a first necessity, — that this system should follow the natural contour of tho surf;iCL', and that it should be rendered as elTective as possible by the capa- city of the sowers and the outfall given thereto. I have so r.iranged that tho drains will be at a minimum depth of ten feet below tho surface of the street, thereby allowing fully a six foot cellar, and providing amply for outfall from house sinks, drains, &c. I would ndvise tho adoption of cffcctivft sewer-traps in all street sewers, so arranged as to prevent gravel, sand, or other surface material, find- ing its way into the sewers. And, in conclusion, I tliink the neces- sity for commencing the main sewer during tho present season is tufliciently apparent, and called for by tht; circumstances in which tho city is placed. It is a mistaken idea to suppose that the desul- tory and miserable efforts heretofore made can be persisted in — too much money hns been already wasted by this means, and tho expe- rience of last season points to the evils likely to bo entailed on cur increasing population by inattention to the first rules of social life. .'w>v*vX,"^*v"w^.-»-^/'--".

It would not be neces- sary however, to pi'ovide I'ur this largo outlay at once ; tho work should be uiidcrt iken by uistahnents, and cuinpkted within a period of four years. The advantages of this inouc; of priiccLdiiig will be that the expenditure for those necessary wi^rks should be equalized on the pro:;;ressive value of property, and the necessity ol adding mateiially lo the pnblio burthen of the present inhabitants avoided, A consideration of the financial arrangenu-nts by which the great objects of this inensnre are to be attained, properly lHK)n<;s to the City Council, and it is beyond all question that their action will be sustained by the r.itc-payeis, in the effort to Becure for the cily full value in permanent and usvful woiks of public iinitrovensent, for tho out'ay demanded.

As the first ihrce year's operations aro directed to the r.oniplction of such woik^; ns are most' needful, it wdl not mo "h atl;ct the gi'iieral interest, if tlie I)alanco, amouiitin'j; to $G-t8 833 72 of the whole estimafc is not laid ont for ft much longer period, ill the streets upon w'lioh this soin should bo expended are, with the exception of S[)'nks Street, coniiuirntively of little importance, not extensively inii't upon, and nalur.illy occu- pying such ))ositio;iR as would render the ininiediale .ip lieation of measures ot improvement unnecessary. One of the chief eonsidcra- lions which have influ"nc(d my decision in the appropriation of theso sums, arises from tnc al)R >lute necessity of applying prompt reme- dies to the evils under which the low lying [)or-J )ns of th • city aro sufferin;jr, as well as to prevent the wasteful, useh/ss and outiageoua expenditure of public money on mischeivous arid woithle^s works. AcGotnpnnying this Report is the large P!an of the city, fourteen sheets of longitudinal sections of streets, two sheets of designs, and general plan. 1 would respectfully recommend to tiie Committee, that all care be taken of the large Plan — tliat it may not lie open to every person, as such a course would infallihly i/isure its de.-truC' tion — ai'.d tliat tracings be made of it. for general u^e, as soon as possible. As it shews the actual position and descrijition of every street, louse and structure in the city up to November 1800, its value as a record is abundintly apparent, and the Council will fiad it necessary to have the l.)calion of every new hnus" or other struc- ture hereafter to be erected, a curately placed in its true position on that plan, as well a matter of Municipal econ uny as neoess?.ry for the e.\ eution of such woiks as may Kubs"qucnt!y be undertaken by the city. The tibh^ of grades appended, are referred to li-'o sill of the Guard Lock on the Rideau Canal. In concludiu"; this Report, T would not bo doing my duty to tny fellow citizens if I did not strongly point out to the Council, the necessit/ ior taking a< lion thereon with the least possible delay. The health, prosperity and future growth of t'.is city must depend in a greit measure on ihe en^ rgy, ahiity and pi udeiice of its leading men ; and this is always measured by the extent of public improve- ments and the f.cil ties (or cleatdiness and comfort which piudent measures of administration .secures. It is not necessary to loo!; to other cities where cxtravagent R]ieculaLiun in public improvements 7§ has hcen the rule, but the actual want of thoi?e social and com- mercial facilities iiffordcd by good roads, draiiinge a>^d ^^ater supply is so apparent here, tlial it does not require any f.u fLtched theory to decide on the extent of iinprovetnent, or the amount of population it is meant to accommodate. The circumstances of the city requires this outlay; every month it is delayed a'.lds to i(t. lu.are cxpensive- ness, as well as prevents the property of the ciLizens fiom attaining its full value. All which is nevertheless respectfully submitted. GEORGE n. PERRY, C. E.
