A SAND ALTERATION PLAN IS OFFERED
 TO THE CITY
Los Angeles Company Has Proposition That Looks Good to the City
 Commissioners
EXPENSE TO BE SLIGHT
Coulter, Burke and Bliss Are Impressed at Conference
 With Southerner

Will Sacramento fall back on Alteration as a method oi obtaining clear water? SucF seems to be the trend of al events at city hall, following a conference yesterday al which a Alteration scheme was presented by H. W BlaiSdell, president of the Blaisdell Alteration company of Los Angeles. As a resuIi of the conference, City Engi- neer Miller ard City HealtI Officer Dr. Williamson vii be sent to Yuma, Arizona where one of. the BlaiSdel' plants have been in operation eight years.
 The system offered to Sac ramento is a rapid sand fiji iteration system, working or the plan of the slow sand fil- teration systems used in many cities in the East. The feature of the system is the cleaning of the filters, which is accomplished at a low cost by a patented machinery process. Blaisdell, a civil en gineer, has spent many years in perfecting the process and has it patented.
 City Commissioners Coul ter, Burke and Bliss were en- thusiastic over the plan pre- sented by Blaisdell. Com missioner Coulter stated thai the system could be installed at a cost lower than the well system and he is in favor of a complete investigation of the process.
 Commissioner Burke de- clared that the system offer ed was the one for which Sacramento had been waiting for many years. Burke stated that he has always been in ia vor of using Sacramento river water and that the SyS, tenn presented solved the big problem.
 Besides the city commits sioners, City Health Officer Williamson and City Engi- neer Miller attended the con- ference. Following this, Mil Ter and Blaisdell visited the waterfront and looked over a possible site for the filter half 3 mile north of the city limits on the river, just below the Pacific Gas and Electric company's power plant. MT. Blaisdell stated that for a fil- ter to serve the city, a site Of about three acres would be necessary. He stated that the location is ideal and that the river water could be filtered without the necessity of set ting.
 BlaisdeIl and the city com miSSionerS would only state yesterday that the price Of the plant would be very req :, sonable and that the cost or
