THE PROPOSED ROCK CREEK RESERVOIR.
When the Rock Creek reservoir shall have
been constructed, following naturally the liberal
supply now projected, it will probably be found
tomac by combined tunnel and canal into the
expedient to divert fair proportion of the Po-
valley Of Rock Creek to find its way through
the Rock Creek reservoir to the city. 1t will be
cheaper and pleasanter than any hygienic enter
prise predicated upon parsimony Of water.

and the practice is common Of using bath tubs for
this purpose. All of these would store up but a
small amount ofwater. The pressure in the mains
throughout the city varies from three to thirty
pounds per square inch, rarely falling below six
pounds. Under this head the ordinary three.
quarter inch service pipe will discharge. if flow

Tour hours supply of twenty-six million gallons
There are 20,415 services supplyin9 wate,
Tor domestic purposes besides the Connections
TO Sis MIGRANTS, and to all Of the public
buildings, reservations, and fountains. II is
easy to see that continuous flow through :
small proportion of these will account for the
disappearance Of water. 1t is probable that the
waste is widely distributed. 1t is evident from
the uniformity of the flow Into the city that the
consumption Of water varies but little during
the twenty-four hours, and the conclusion is in,
eyitable that the average method Of taking the
water is by letting 1t run. OF course It runs 10
the lower levels, and leaves the submits high
and dry.

Tue same cnahhels, as In the larger cities OF
Europe and here.
"Another phase Of the question now appeared.
The extension OF sewers increased the amount
OF filth discharged into the rivers, causing pol
luton of perhaps the only available source of
drinking water for other towns. This new
trouble was mostly felt in England, where the
population is dense and the rivers are small.
and where 1t consequently has attracted the
greatest attention. A sufficient publication of
the sewage before dscharging into the rivers
became the only alternative"

sobered dewn, and the question resolved itself
into the epdeaVer to obtain sufficient purifica-
ton at the least cost to the community,

found to give coed and economical results, and
their respective advantages depend On local con-
ditions, which require careful consideration in
each case"
"After these remarks, APPLYING to water-car-
rige in general. it is now in place to examine
into the ways by which it has been effected; and.
here, too, We are met by a variety of opin-
IONS. - II
''COMBINED SYSTEM.
''The characteristic feature of this method of
sewerage Is that st serves the double purpose OF
removing sewage and rain-water by means of the
same sewers. In ttracing its origin it was found
that the underground removal of rain-water in
densely pOpulatedctieswas considered necessary
even before regular flow of sewage was created
by the Introduction Of regular supply of
water; and at the present day, when buiit-up
districts are even larger and the payements are
better, which allows a more rapid concentration
of rain-water in the streets, this underground
removal In large cities Is even more necessary
Further, 1t has been found In London that
during rain the first wash from the streets is
likely to be as foul as ordinary sewage, and
therefore 1t Is proper, especially when they are
not well cleaned, that it should be led into the
same channels.
1.-THE objections that have been made against
the combined system on sanitary grounds are,
therefore, only substantiated when it is imper.
fectly designed, built maintained, or applied
difficulties to which the separate system is also
exposed, and perhaps from it's greater complex
ityin some cases even in q greater degree.
When publication is needed It win depend on
the local conditions whether the combined sys-
tenn, with interception of sewage, is to beayoid-
ed, but not ON any general defect OF the system
itself"
s So
From these points 1t can be concluded that
the economy Of . combined system over 8 sepas
rate one depends mainly on the following con-
0fftonH WhGr0 rain water Wunk N faxrSnd -

neglect on the other will have q much greater
| influence on the sanitary condition Of each sim
| gle system than the difference between any two
systems can have under equally good condi-
lions. 1.-The factor, therefore, which will
| mainly govern preference is less the sanitary
value. as frequently asserted, than the cost OF
construction and maintenance. But as also the
| cost depends on the locality on It's physical
| features, on social requirements, and on the
value OF ground and materials, 1t is evident
that the criterion for Judging the relative ad-
vantages of the different systems, both from a
| sanitary and financial point of view. is the
| locality itself. And as the conditions presented
by the various cities and places are exceedingly
best for all localities, but different external
conditions will demand as readily different solu-
lions. both in general and detail.
''This is, in my opinion. the direction in which
an ultimate agreement to the various contro-
verSies, as mentioned at the outset NAV be
found. And as most Of the Objectionable fea-
| lures which have cansed adverse criticism were
due to faulty cOnst rQctiOn or neglect of mainte-
nance, rather than to an essential error In the
system, attention to these two subjects ia at
present OF most Importance, and will also con-
| tribute toward q greater unanimity Of opinion.
sit now remains to recapitulate the principal
local conditions under which each OF the water
carriage systems seemed to be best applicable,
point Of view. In some cases it may requirethe
closest local examination, however, to deter
mine preference.
'The combined system is snitable where rain
water must be carried of under ground from
extensive districts, especially when they arc
closely built up, as In large cities, and where
new sewers must be built for this purpose.
Where publication is not required or IL not
difllcult and storm-water overdows are not Oh
jectionable In pOlluting the streams.
Where sufficient amount Of water or sewage
is available for flushing the larger sewers.

and other towns.

and can be concentrated In few channels

small or at least short drainage areas, and on
steep slopes or side hills.
