Chief Engineer Kienle of the Board
of Water Commissioners submitted his
weekly report 10 the Board at its meet
ing this morning. This dwelt with the
"a hour test, of the 43-inch forcing
main. on Friday last. The test show
ed a leakage Of about 30,50O gallons
in that time which is considered very
low. The line is nearly two miles long.

to determine, as open faucets in the
houses and leak in connections may be
responsible for much of the waste.

words Many of them are sunburned
and happiness is spread over their
faces.

session daily in the Public Schools
that being between 9 and IL o'clock
and it will be devoted mainly to the
promotions.
Altogether there will be nearly
1000 children TO attend the sessions
from now until next June in the public
schools, while the parochial schools
will also have about two thousand.
The Salesianum, at 9Th and West
lstreets also opened this morning.
,t3 George w. Twitmyer, superintendent
of schools and Miss Bessie Devine,

busy this morning looking after the
details of school opening and cooper
ating with the principals of the va
