SCHOOL IN THE TOWN HALL.

Clinton, May 26.-Contractor R. c.
Taylor confidently expects to turn over
the sewage reservoir at the foot OF
High street, in June. A visit to the
work will repay anybody who makes
it at this time. It is possible to see
what an amount of labor has gone into
the construction of the mammoth els
tern.
A few days later the cistern will be
covered with a shed of cement. This
will consist of series Of groined
arches. The arches rest on brick piers,
which are now all in position and com
pleted.
The operation of putting on this roof
which arches over a circle hundred
feet in diameter, is very interesting. 1t
was in full swing yesterday. First,
the entire work must be done in wood.
A gang of a dozen or more carpenters
have been engaged two weeks in cut
ting and laying the boards. This part
of the work is about two-thirds COM
plete. The centre is uncovered, but
a few days more will complete it.
In the meantime, workmen are put
ting in sheathing for the purpose of
carrying the side wall some four or
five feet higher, until it meets the base
of the arches. This anchors into the
part of the wall already down. In or
der that the upper wall may not give in
either direction, steel bands four inches
by seven-eighths of an inch will en-
circle the basin. Three of these great
hoops will entirely surround it. The
cement is poured between the sheath
ings and around the steel bands.
The main agitator pipes lead into the
basin through the screening chamber
The agitation will be performed by
streams of water impelled by power
through the agitator pipes with great
force. This will keep the mass of ma
terial in the basin always moving, and
give little opportunity for the forma-
ton of deposits on the bottom.
The foundation for the station is laid,
excepting section of about 16 feet. 1t
Is cement foundation. The founda-
ton for the big engine is completed.
Workmen today were engaged in
tamping sand within what will be the
boiler room, to make firm foundation
for the support of the floor.
The engineering of all this
work is in charge of metro
politan engineers under Chief En-
94hCSA ANAOA1dIQSOH. inspector John
Urquhart is charged with the duty of
seeing that the contractors perform
their labors according to the specifica-
lions laid down by the engineers.
An unusually large number of col
ored men are in Mr.. Taylor's employ
ment
Among them is a coloreG boy with a
history. His name is Julian Blocker.
He was mule driver at Santiago in
July, 1898. He was "befoah Santiago.

wife who is to become q mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her

But her happy anticipation quickly van-

dissipates her joyfulness.
