It was explained by Mr. Montgomery that it is impossible for water plant operators to -know approximately, without great expense, the condition, of bis mains where electrolysis action is taking place, and the gas or water rflpply of large cities.

is often endangered by tho failure of-, mains without previous warning-. The 'soil in which the pipes are laid is first in importance, Mr. Montgomery said, a weftk curxent often destroying the pipe in a short time.

A copy of their findings will be presented to the board of commissioners and will also be printed in several of bureau bulletins, it declared. Orleiuis; Al Slebert, New OrleansiiA. I- Pearson. Kansas City; Jlrs. A.
