tots point IS of quite uniform depth and has
bed or solid sock overlsid with loose deb-
ns TO the depth of several inches. A trench

tion will then be laid. aud then a third,
possibly a fourth, until the west bank
of tie river Is reacned. These sections IL is
proposed to unite under water by q simple
method, which could not, however, be well
understood without a long technical de-
scriptiOn."
"Bu: how can this pipe, which is twelve
inches. be well supplied? Is not the pipe
leading from your pump house down Canal
st. also . twelve-inch9" querried our re-
potter.
True; but the twelve-inch line was
never intended for the main feeder for toe
city. That will be at least a twenty inch,
possibly a twenty -four, and will lie in
Plainfield-ave. Ny own preference is fr
that avenue, for large number of con-
sumers could thereby be easily reached"
