and seem to depend upon the way the
mechanical filters are worked.

some years ago, perhaps the gallery
needs attention.

17. Kurniol . . . 8 June 1925 . . . 26 Nov. 1925 . . . Variable for though the filtration is
good, at times unfiltered water is
mixed with filtered—this is both un

necessary and unauthorized.

18. Madras Corporation . . . 14 July 1925 . . . 23 Mar. 1926 . . . Though the filtered water is classed as
indifferent the supply as a whole is
bad, because filtration is useless since
unfiltered water in large quantities is
added to filtered water. The final
distributed supply is worse than the
raw water at the lake end.
