Mr.. Stacey was at this point called
and described how service connections
are made on wrought iron pipe. He
told of two ways, one of which is en-
ployed when the main is first put in
and the trench open. and the other after
the pipe has been covered. Mr. Stacey
vas also called upon to state where in
Fairfield the soil conditions were such
as to cause trouble with wrought iron
pipe. He pointed out the places on the
map and described this soil as dark
sand With some indications of iron.
This soil had no effect upon cast iron
pipe.
Mr.. Manley was called and asked for
the number OF services put in and taken
cut in the four towns in the district for
the years the company has been under
his control. These figures were not at
hand but will be furnished to the COM
miSsioEerS later.
Mr.. Lewis was called to check up
some items of expense in the way of
supplies bought by him for the system.
and Mr.. Maxcy was also put on for the
same purpose.
Another expert was here called upon
to testify. This was John w. Alvord.

been abroad for study of foreign hy-
draulic engineering and since his re-
turn has been in general practice. For
the last three or four years he has been
connected with appraisals, has been Il
witness in several cases, an appraiser
in eight. Mr.. AlvOrd. like the other eX-
rertS took the figures of others for
work outside of his own line. but used
his own calculations for his own branch
of the work. His figures were carefully
tabulated. like those of the other ex-
perts, and the same general order was
followed to expedite matters at this
hearing. Much of his time was taken
up in explaining his method. He would
provide Il sinking fund of 81 per cent
on the short lived part of the plant and
Of 2l3 on the long-lived part. He thinks
that in the sale of q business like this
the standpoint of both buyer and seller
should be considered. He thought the
business should be worth $4,000 ana
The physical plant $279.S2S, making
total of S3O4,S2S.
Mr.. Alvord does not approve of the
practice of cleaning pipe. He says that
while it keeps the pipe clear, it has a
tendency to injure it and make it
shorter lived.
1t is his opinion that thi system has
not been kept up as it should have been
and that considerable outlay would

iron mains. and he thinks these should
be taken out. Some of the cast iron
mains also need reinforcements.
Mr.. Alvord is not an enthusiast over
filter plants, especially in small places
for they require an expert to properly
look after them and they are apt to
fail into the hands of some incompetent
person. Mr. Alvord, however, described
sand filter such as this system would
require. if it were to take it's supply
from the present source. He would
build Il plant almost exactly like that
described by Mr.. Coffin, yesterday. For
New England waters he considers the
slow sand filter best, but for Western
waters where there is a great deal of
sediment he thinks the mechanical
filter will do more satisfactory work.

He finds that to make the system effec-

poses a great many feet of new mains
must be laid. One of the larger OF
these lines would run up Drummond
avenue to Fairfield. He pointed out
several streets where there should be
mains, where none now exist.
Mr. Hill considered a hypothetical
fire in the Elmwood and said that with
the present arrangement of pipes sis
streams could not be used. Provision
should also be made by proper addi-
tions of mains for pressure from the
reservoir if the pumps are stopped by
anchor ice. He explained how all OF
these improvements could be made and
furnished estimates of the expense. He
would not only make new additions

Hills figures for the plant, now are

CONFLICTING INFLUENCES
Arc Felt in Financial, Industrial and
Commercial Lines.

New York, Oct. 23.-Special tee-
graphic reports on the business situa-
ton to the International Mercantile
Agency from correspondents through
out the United States are summarized
as follows:
Advices from leading trade centers
make plain the presence of conflicting
influences. Relatively the larger num-
Der of unfavorable reports are as to
the industrial situation and outlook.
Good judges believe the effort to hold
up the price of finished steel through
the spring will not succeed. Authorities
adnlit that pig iron makers will have
to Increase the extent of the movement
to restrict the output. Pig iron given
in exchange for coke overhangs the
market. Soft coal prices are being held
up only through combination. Present
plans contemplate the laying off of
nearly $4,000 railway employees, this
winter.
Trust company and national bank
disasters at Baltimore and Pittsburg
We're caused by special conditions and
at both cities it is believed that the
weakness of the financial situation has
been eliminated.
At Minneapolis spring wheat receipts
tend to confirm the belief that the gov
eminent report of the size of the spring
wheat crop was too large. Internation-
al Mercantile Agency advices point to
about 100. 200, 600 bushels of wheat from
this years domestic crop of wheat
available for export. whereas European
continental estimates are that import
ing countries will need 1S0,O0O,0o0 BUSH
els.
General jobing trade is dull in New
England. but the volume is nearly
Equal to that one year ago. The move
nent of lumber there is fair, except for
southern.
Sales of wool have been small, con-
;umers awaiting lower prices. Some
cotton mills are storing product. Shoe
factories are fairly busy on orders for
'pring delivery.
The general business outlook in the
except Texas. is bright.
lew Orleans anticipates heavy
winter and spring trade.

Catarrh has already become national

More than one-half the people are

They are not only considering the ex-

but the possibility of finding national
