provement project for the Water Bureau,
included in the s1l.3O0.OOO loan, which will
be begun Immediately after the money is
made available by Councils. following the
approval of the loan by the voters at the
coming election.
From the S1,5O0,0O0 allotted to the Water
Bureau, II Is estimated that nearly $780,
900 will be expended for labor here, af-
fording a measure of relief to many un-
employed men in Philadelphia.
Mayor Blankenburg will urge Councils
in n message on Thursday to pass all
preliminary legislation. which ordinarily
delays actual work on loan projects, in
order that the constructive work may be
started early In December.
Chief Davis. OF the Water Bureau. said
today that he was concentrating his force
on the preparation of plans and specfica-
tions for the work in the bureau which
will be affected by the loan. His bureau
will be ready to advertise for bids and
start actual work early in December, IL
Councils heed the advice of the Mayor
The loan includes 100000 for the con-
struction of sedimentation basin at
Torresdale for the Water Bureau. From
the nature of that work il is estimated
that one-half OF that amount, $500 900,
will go directly to laborers.
Plans for the basin will afford 1000 900
square feet of surface area and a depth
varying from 10 to 20 feet.

ming of a direct service water supply
main to South Philadelphia from Tor

for pipe, which will provide employment
for workmen in the pipe foundries.
From the $4,000 item for Improvement
of the water system in West Philadelphia
about $4,000 will be expended for pipe
and approximately $4,000 will go direct
to local laborers
The 100000 item for the extension of
the direct service main into South Phila-
delphia will be merely the beginning of
project the ultimate cost of which will
be about s1,750000.
1t Is planned to carry a 4s-inch main
from I'd and Market streets to Snyder
avenue on the eastern edge of the south
ern section OF the city, go westward near
Snyder avenue and return northward
along the Schuylkill River, completely
girdling South Philadelphia with a high

cities to the outlying districts where sta
tionery business as a business in itself IL

In consequence wherever and when
ever stationers gather together there, too,
IL "Uncle George" cordial, happy and en-
thusiastic, modestly accepting the homage
thrust upon him by his former associates
as due the dean OF his profession.

wives and daughters or the delegates,
are in attendance.
Another special feature arranged pri-
marily for them is trip scheduled for
