This. howev- er. would make storage of the filter- ed water difficult and purification in- complete. Furthermore, the construc- tion cost of a structure below water level would be more than of one built above it. It is best. therefore. to pump all the water through an m‘rator during the warm months, to effect complete purification.

About 2.5 hp. would be re,» quired for the rapid filters, and where- as it costs about $3158 per h.p. per an.â€" mun, exclusive of attendance and. cap- ital charges to pump your present supply, by steam. it would be far cheaper and much more convenient to employ electric power at the rate oi $52.50 per h.p. per annum. The mo- tors could readily be fitted with deâ€" vices for maintaining a constant head on the filters. It would be more dif- ficult to do this vith steam engines. on account of condensation in the pipes.

Over the tile there is graded gravel, and over the gravel 40 inches of sand.

All - these lands have been personally selected by our experts, who have had twelve years’ experience . in Western lands. These lands are distributed entirely among set- tled districts in quarter and half section lots (160 and 3220 acres.) None further away than ten miles from a market, and all within a radius of 30 miles of Indian Head.

Lindsay on account of the character of the unfilt- ered water. er above the sand is 4 feet. The area of sand surface is 0.25 acre, divided into two beds. This provides for a. rate of filtration of 4,00,000 gallons 5.x”. .vwvvâ€" . The filtered water passes through devices for regulating the flow there- of and goes thence to the clear water basin. “hen the filters become clog- ged. they are scraped and the remov- ed sand washed. The sand is replen- ished annually. These filters will de- liver from10,000.000 to 15,000,000 gallons between scrapings , thereby causing,r the whole area to be scraped not oftener than once every three weeks at present rates of consump- tion. The filter would require :2.) extra attendants. but lawyers wouid have to be hired for SCFu|=2'!-.-' In Slnzlll plants this work is usually performed by the pipe-laying gang. Mr. Weston then gives description of mechanical filters which he does not recommend on account of extra cost of operating. He also remarks: “The Scugog water would be‘ difficult to treat and One extra filter attend- ant would be. required. ‘ ’ COST OF CONSTRIT‘TION .-’\‘.-‘r) ° MAINTENANCE The tables of cost with this report gives estimates of the cost of con- struction and operation for both sys- tems of purification. In a word, the English filters cost more to construct and less to operate. than do the me- chanical filters. The costs of opera- tion are on the basis of a. yield of 500,000 gallons per diem, or half the tion are on the basis of a yield of 500,000 gallons per diem, or half the rated capacity of the devices. On the basis of 750,000 gallons per diem, the cost of water per million gallons would be less,â€"11,x;m'».y, $8.15 with the slow. and $11.41 with the rapid system of purification. The estimates are based on US. practice, as outside of Victoria, 8.0., the writer knows of the existence of no large English filter in Canada, and the mechanical filter plants at Deseronto, Renfrew. and DunnVille. Ontario, and Longue- nil, Quebec, are too small and of too temporary construction to form a basis for estimate.

The death of five members of one family. due to typhoid developed from the drinking of impure water from a well. is a warning which should not pass unherl-d in any home in Ontario. says The Weekly Sun. In the greater part of the Pro- vince wells are now exceedingly low. and when this condition exists the danger of disease caused by the use of impure water is . always present. No water should be used for drink- ing purposes from a well in which the supply is low. without first be- ing boiled. Even where the supply is abundant, if there is any reason (or suspicion as to purity. the mat- ter should be settled at once by an- alysis.
