The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1894-09-13

NEVER MIND THE WEATHER.-Wc
heard Of a lady school teacher trying
t., explain to o class of small boys the
difference between the temperature
North and South. She told them that
the people at the North were generally
trying to keep warm while the people
of the South were generally trying to
keep cool. Some of the little boys
who had evidently not grasped her
idea, were asked what are most every
one thinking about in South Carolina.
The question was addressed to little
jesse Doty, and he evidently had
heard the older people express what
was uppermost in their minds for he
replied, they are thinking about what
the price Of cotton is. Jesse is about
right, the weather may 60, if we can
get oar price for cotton.

When Mr.. Shedd makes the statement
that he can construct an efiicit mt natural

dencc, with daily capacity OF Is, ,OOo, 900
gallons, for the sum of two hundred and

Years OF investigat on and careful study,
and see what probability there will be
Tor further demand on the city govern
ment to complete system so constructed.
While the mechanical system was under
consideration, the plans for it's con-
struction being under Mr.. Shedds super
vision, no extravaganza in quality or
quantity was too great for him to demand.
Proper enough, though, he probably
knew that the heavy appropria-
tion this necessitated must prove
stumbling block it would be diff
cult to overcome when brought before
the City Council for approval. Upon a
glimpse OF hope for the realization of his
own plans, however, the quantity of
water to be filtered is Immediately reduced
from 2O,OOO,000 TO 100000 gallons per
day, and meters, bath tubs, expensive
buildings and 4S-inch pipe lines disap-
pear and are only heard OF when he makes
reference TO mechanical plant costing
two hundred and eighty-one thousand
dollars s2S1 ,0O0).
Let Mr.. Shedd present his complete
plans aud specifications, and let them be !

Is demanded for the mechanical system;

70 THr EDrroR or rnE NEWS:
SiR-In you issue OF the 10th ult il
contained report of Mr.. j. Herbert
Shedd. M. Am. q. IL. and city engineer OF
providence, X. J., with special reference
10 the relative efficiency and cost of me-
chanicai filters and Of sand filter beds" !"
purporting to consider ''the whole
subject on its merits."
Mr.. Shedd's figures are erroneous and
misleading. They are not baseo on the
merits OF fair comparison, and for the
naturai hlters proposed by him lack all
details OF cost, with which he has exact
ingiy encumbered his assumed figures for
q mechanical system.
experiments conducted with mechan-
lcai hiters at the Pettaconsett pumping
station Tor about one year were to demon
s,rste their efiioiency under the rate OF
nitration for which they were designed
by the builders; namely, l2s, 900 900 gallons
per acre, per day OF "a hours, including
the time occupied for cleaning the filters.
1t was the superior results obtained at the
above average rate, in competi-
tion with the sand filters of
Mr. Shedd's design, which lead
TO the ultimate selection of the mechaui-
cal method. The original recommends
tion OF the special joint committee ap-
pointed by the city of Providence to ex-
anime and report on the pollution of its
water supply, advised Q altering plant
with capacity of 1900 900 gallons per
Gay; but the engineering department
tnought it more prudent to have reserve
upon which to draw In case of necessity,
ana they therefore recommended to the
city government an additional sppropria-
tion beyond that already granted, to in
crease the proposed filter plant from as |
hiters, with Q capacity of 5000, 900
gallons per day, to plant |
OF 90 filters, with O daily capacity |
OF 100000 gallons. There was also
asked, at the same time, sufficient ad- |
ditional appropriation to cover the cost of |
expensive and elaborate buildings. thu

water Works. The latter portion of the
work, the city were to do themselves.
That Contract.
Tho contract for the mechanical filter

ng daily capacity Of 10000 900 gallons,
