provide an efficient and economical system of

districts which are not yet severed, that de-
parture from the usual custom be adopted on
the following plan, which may be modified or
not, as circumstances may require, and which
can also be applied for the relief of sewers
already constructed. OF this l shall speak
hereafter.

age at the same point l can divert either of
the sewers that their outlets will be differ

districts.
For the improvement of the old sewers of this
City, would introduce pIpe-sewer of suitable
size in the bottom OF the large brick sewers,
and on true grade connect the house
with the smaller sewer, and then have an
efficient service for the houses at all times-the
storm water being allowed to pass Oft through
the larger sewer.
If this plan were adopted and carried out in
the large brick sewers of this City, il would be
of great value and give permanent relief to
cellars and easements, especially to those in
the low-lying districts along the waterfront
and east of Montgomery street. 1t would cor
rect faulty honsepipe connections and give
deeper cellars at q minimum cost. If necessary,
the lower part OF the water sewer, from
the house inlet down and over the sewer-pipe
can be lined with six inches of concrete con
forming to the main sewer at a cost, including
sewer-pipe, house connections and concrete of
not more than 90 cents per front foot of each
lot.

Practical Hints for Constructing
New and Improving Old
Sewers.
OPINIONS OF AN EXPERT
Civil Engineer William P. Humphreys
Suggests Some .Apropos NUM-
cipal Reforms.

Coming from such an expert as William
P. Hum phreys, civil engineer, the follow
ing opinions on the City sewer system,
both as regards its ordinary and storm
water carrying service, would seem par
ticularly apropos at this season and will
doubtless be read with special interest:
Our sewers have been and are still being
constructed to carry both the storm waters and
the house sewerage. AS we have little or no
rain FOR at least seven months of the year, and
as there is not a sufficient amount of house
sewerage during the dry season to create a cur
rent in the large sewers, it generally remains
to accumulate with the dirt and sand passing
into the same from the street, thus making an
elongated cesspool of the sewer, choking the
same and breeding disease and pestilence.
To obviate all this, and at the same time

In the "reminiscences of General Sir Eve

a touching instance of courage and self
sacrifice is given. One June day in 1855

Russian batteries ALI of the men reached
shelter in the trenches except a seaman,
John Blewitt. As he was running a ter
rifc roar was heard. His mates knew the
voice of huge cannon, the terror of the
army, and yelled:
"Look QUIT 1t is Whistling Dickl"
But at the moment Blewitt was struck
by the enormous mass of iron on the knees
and thrown to the ground. He called to
his especial chum:

The fuse was kissing. but Stephen Welch
ran out of the trenches and seizing the
great shell tried to roll it off his comrade

State Papers Behind san Francisco in

Now that everybody is agreed on the impor-
tance of inducing the convention to California
everybody should assist Southern California in
raising respectable share OF the cony ention
fund.
San Francisco is raising the fund now: she
may have it completed by this time next week.
Ten thousand dollars subscribed by Southern
California in the next few days Will receive
more notice, make a deeper impression and
give us more influence than 100000 sub
scribed after all the money required has been
secured.
Do not stand back and wait for the next fell
low to put his name down for something, but
subscribe what you can afford and subscribe
it at once without reference to others.
Observation-Disclosures subscriptions are good,
thousand-dollar subscriptions are better, but
all subscriptions, whether they be for 81 or
$1,000, are good and will be appreciated by all
loyal Californians for the spirit that inspires
them.
1t is not expected that few people will carry
the burden, but that many will take it up and
thus make it lighter for each.-Los Angeles
