standing near one extremity of the main

corridor connecting the two.
In the center Of the circular building
will be a rotunda sixty feet in diameter,
in the middle of which will be basin OF

frances great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be view
ed the opposite side of the series Of great
tanks and on the other line of tanks
somewhat smaller, ranging from $50 to
