indicated. will be 16S cubic feet per
second.
In designing the main outfall sewer
now in service on street, much
smaller percentage of runoff, or What IS
practically the same thing, much
smaller rate of rainfall, has been made
the basis of estimating capacity. The
main sewer on S street from Fifth to
Front street, when just full has ca
pacity of ia cubic feet per second, or
6S40 cubic feet per minute. whenever
the flow in the sewer exceeds this
amount. water will begin to rise in the
manholes above the crown of the arch,
esta blishing an effective hydraulic
grade or slope of water surface greater
than that Of the conduit itself. Under
suchs conditions, the discharge of the
last section of the main sewer may ex-
eeed considerably the amount noted as
its capacity, but all sewers in the low
er part of town will then be serving
under pressure, against backwater, and
the drainage from the lowest districts
will be greatly impeded.
1t is not to be inferred from the
above that the S-street sewer will not
fairly meet the immediate requirements
of Sacramento as storm water out
fall, because for many years a large
part of the city will remain unimproved
The extension of impervious street
pavements will probably not reach the
assumed limit for twenty years, and 1t
may be fully as long before full ia
cility for a speedy delivery of all drain
age water into the sewers has been es-
tablished.
Attention must, however, be called to
the fact that if dimensions of that
sewer were now to be prescribed it
would be given a greater capacity in
order that the frequency of threatened
inundation of low districts would be re-
duced
There have been sixteen days in
twenty-five years in which the daily
rainfall exceeded two inches. There
VIII probably be as many in the next
twenty-five years, and on these the
sewer Will be required to handle more
water than its estimated capacity, at
some disadvantage to its laterals and
possibly at some inconvenience to low
lying districts.
The probability that such inconven-
.ience Will result is sufficiently remote
to make it appear advisable to continue
the sewer in service without change
until actual experience shows it to be
necessary to increase drainway capac-
-ity along the selected route 20 the
pumping station.
The conclusions reached by the above
process of reasoning are not entirely
satisfactory. The data are incomplete
and the conjecture as to the proportion
of the rainfall which will flow directly
into the sewers is necessar rily depend
.enf upon conditions which are purely
local and which cannot be known with
any great degree of accuracy in adj
vance of the extension of the sewer sys-
tenn.
However. an attempt has been made
TO compare capacities of sewers as now
proposed with the capacities of the
sewers which have heretofore served
portions of the city and of which many
have often been taxed to their utmost
The result is shown in the following
table:

New York, Dec. Hubbard Bros. g. Co
says of cotton to-day: Our decline on Sat
urday was reflected in the easier tone in
Liverpool this morning, though here the
pressure of Saturday was not present. The
arbitrage operators between Liverpool

here, but as the call progressed the sup
ply increased and the opening was there's
