Excerpt from Report on the Quebec Water Works

I have the honor herewith to submit my report on the various and best modes by which a greater supply of water could be obtained through the present line of pipes - as directed in your letter of instructions of 21st February last. I was also then requested to report on the practicability of a scheme which was lately proposed by a certain Gentleman, and adopted by the City Council, which scheme, although it had been in operation since the 20th of January, had not turned out to be altogether satisfactory. The scheme alluded to had been abandoned previous to my arrival in Quebec-but as there had been some complaint made against the summary removal of the machinery by which it' was attempted, I may still be expected to refer to it.'
