IN oEa NEGOTIATIONS WITH JER-
SEy CITY THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN
INTO CONSIDERATION, AND WE

SEY CITY MIGHT NEED. OR so MUCH

hitherto determined, but from incidental
| observation tina have gradually accu-
mulated, and especially by. a reasoning
from analogy in the light of recent re-
| suits found by experiment on the con-
duit at Rochester, N. Y, I have no doubt
| that under the contract hydraulic gradt-
| ent the discharge will be less than the
| contract requirement.
EXTRACT from Supplemental PROPOSE

consumers supplied by 1t. and the Com

%, 200. 900 gallons daily and should. Under
ordinary conditions, be sufficient for the
