service pipe connections, both for
fire hydrants and domestic service
pipes. Fire y. hydrant connections
should be Ain, which will answer. for
two Bin. connections to hydrants.
kThe sizes prescribed for this pipe
system may seem larger than neces
sary,-they are larger than required
for present inhabitants,-these mains
are not large enough for meeting the
requirements of twice your present
population withou some inconven
fence caused by frictional loss in the
pipes. 1t may be necessary as popn-
together near or at either end with
Ain. pipe.
The Low Pressure System" would
require approximately $3.50 feet OF
1O-in. pipe, and 10000 feet of Bin
pipe and 10000 feet of 4-in- pipe. All
service pipe connections should be
put in at the expense of property own
ers, and they to belong to the proper
ty.

to consist of one pipe line laid in the
alley between Main Street and Rich
ardson Avenue from the Military In
stitute to South boundary of Secs. A
and 5, a distance of two miles. This
pipe should be Gin. diameter, and
should not be. connected to the Low
Pressure mains anywhere except by
pipe leading to street and pipe. with
no valve, except one for use during
repairs or connections, intervening.
The quantity and size distributing
mains required for meeting necessi-
ties on the North and South Bench
Lands will require careful survey and

pipe will probably be ample. therefore
this amount is provided for in this es-
innate. In connection with this
First Plan," there will be. required
A stand Pipe having capacity of
about "a hours average usage of wa
ter for 5000 inhabitants, or eight
days for 1000 Inhabitants, being 480-
900 gallons. The tank required will
be "a feet in diameter, 14O feet high,
which will give static pressure at 10
cation of tank of sixty pounds per
square inch, and would exceed so
pounds pressure everywhere on the
highlands, and will hold 100000 gal
Ions. This St. and pipe to be located
preferably in the densely settled por-
ton Of the town, to avoid excessive
FRACTIONAL loss in pipe in the event of
general fire and rapid usage of water
from different MIGRANTS at the same
time. 1t would, however, be perfect
ly proper to locate the stand pipe on
highland, anywhere along the
line of the 10-in- master main.
There will also be required in this
First Plan" a small Pumping plant,
capacity to raise the water
from the low pressure master mains
into the Stand Pipe with the required

be 500 gallons per minute while work
