laid 1t will be conheesed with the pipes in the
cross streets, but to do this it will be necessary
Ia shut OF the water one square above and one
below the point where the connection is being

the corner OF 9Th and l. is made, the water will
be shut off the 9th street pipe at X street and
again at NJ street, and while the work is being
done the water in NJ street will be from the 10th

the stop cocks at and M streets will be
opened and Sth street then shut off In the

shut of from more than two squares at time,
except when the principal connections are made
in the pipe vault at the reservoir and at Foun-
dry branch. After the new main is down and
ready to receive the water, the connections will
be made at these places, and then II will be ne

ton will be made in as short time as possible,
and it is thought both can be finished in about

The various committees having careful
~ examined the entries in their several
departments affixed the blue ribbon, when
the owners of the same reported the fact
and their names TO the Secretary and the
fairness of their decision, merit being the
test in all cases, was a gratifying fact. The
fortunate were pleased, of course, while
those who were unsuccessful determined
to try again. The ribbon system worked
admirably and facilitates the labors of the
Secretaries greatly.
