Excerpt from Report of a Committee of the City Council Appointed to Examine the Sources of Water Supply for the City of Providence: October, 1868But there ought to have been many more than three hundred and fort y-one boilers in this city when the list was made up for our use, and water suitable for boilers would have contributed to such result, thereby augmenting population and wealth.It is said that the manufactured articles of the city amounted in the year past to more than thirty-three millions of dollars. This is a large sum, and yet it would have been much larger, had a generous policy in respect to water prevailed in times past.Though Providence has gained population and wealth Since it became the counting-house and workshop of the extensive factory establishments which cluster upon the neighboring streams, it has gained far less than it would, had soft water been abundant during the past fifteen years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
