It is reasonable to believe that the population of the greater Altoona water district will be about 105,000 in 1950. and 123,000 in 19T0. These figures are somewhat lower than former estimates.

He alked on spraying Ha told of a test made summer, in which trees receiving seven complete sprayings, yielded a crop witlr a percentage of 07-7 clean, marketable bushels of apples, out of 100 and unsprayed trees yielded only 2 8 bushels out of 100. John Eice, Frankstown.

This totci is approximately three-fourths of a million gallons a day less than tie demand in 193). the last year before completion of universal meterage of all water service. The large volume of water furnished by the railroad tn the shops and yaris is a material factor in redurics the demand on the municipal water works to below that which generally obtains in cities of comparable size and character where ail water for industrial, commercial, and domestic purposes is talten through meters from the public supply. Kittanning Point reservoir can safely supply an average draft of 1.20C.0CO gallons daily during a year of moderate drought, or exactly equivalent to the present water requirements of the high service district The remaining reservoirs have combined capacity sufficient for aa average draft of gallons daily during a year of moderate drought, or l.SsO.OOO gallons daily in excess of the average requirements of the low service 'district. Conditions In 1939 and 1931 During the protracted drought which occurred in the summer and fall of 1330 ard extended well into the spring of 1S31, Kittanning Foint and the impounding reservoir were entirely emptied, and the three remaining reservoirs were seriously depleted.

It was necessary to pump water from Lake Al-toona into the high service district supply main for a total of over 11 months during this period. The DilniB! raltrnarf reservoirs were likewise depleted, and the: citv was required to rurnisn tne railroad gallons a month i i proportion, the payroll usually 40 pec cent of the cost of the reset voir. He also stated that it would take nearly a year and a half to complete the project, thereby assuring! men work for that time. It is well understood that to increase the city's debt by' $1,500,000 to carry out the plan would necessitate an Increase in the city's water rates in order to get th funds to provide a sinking fund and to meet the interest payments.

H. Foster Bollinger, chairman of the General Emergency Relief committee, told of the work in feeding many of the city's unemployed by giving them jobs on city aiid county projects. Ha said that something must be dons soon to care for the needy as the emergency plan will cease in April. He expressed himself as pleased with the recommendation, first, in giving the city an adequate water supply, and second, as a means of giving work to many of the needy, Samuel B. Taylor, director of the city department parks and public property, whoi also is head of" the water explained to the directors the meaning of hig'i and low service.

He mentioned the difficulty in the city, would be a high service main should burst. He pointed out that, the future need will be high service water. Directors gave a vote of thank to city council for authorising the survey, and to Engineer for making a fine survey of the water situation. E. J.

According to our tests of water fro mstreams on the Allegheny watershed, it ie of superior quality due to the relatively small number of habitations on the watershed and freedom from mine drainage. Also, this reservoir would supply the whole city if troubles ecur on low service lines. "In fine points, the merits, of a reservoir in Will Run valley are: First, the proposed reservoir site is owned by the -city; second, ability to carry on construction without interference with supply of water from existing reservoirs; third, relatively small expenditures for supply "main, because of proximity of reservoir site to the.

Oakton reservoir; fourth, low cost per million gallons of water supplied through a long period of years; fifth, ability to maintain supply to the entire city in event of pipe line breaks or other emergency causing interruptions of supply from reservoirs in the Horseshoe bend." A few of the other projects listed In the survey were -explained by the engineer. In referring to Bobs creek. South Foplar run and Canoe Croek. he said that reservoirs at places are beyond consideration at this time because of the cost. Bobs creek construction cost would be $1,500,000, and would increase the city's supply 8,000,000 gallons a day; Canoe creek, water would have to be pumped and a pipe line if nines long would have to be installed, giving 6.000.0CK) gallons a day; raising height of Lake Altoona would cost $950,000, and would increase by a million gallons of day, but which would still have to be pumped to the high service; Higgles and Homer's gaps, 2,000,000 gallons a day, with cost of jeservoir approximately Sugar Run.
