These b-mds add very little, either to length cf line or resistance of water passing through. This pipe will furnish about 15,000,000 gallons per day without any excessive back pressure. "The reservoir is 550 feet so.uare and 80 feet deep, and will hold when full 50,000,000 gallons of water. The pipe from the pumping station enters this at the northwest corner, and the pipe, leaditfe from the reservoir to the fil ters. leaves from the southeast corner, thus leaving a Space of some 600 feet hr ,ween points of entry and exit.

The present code was ordered by council to be a different kind of work, the resolution directing that the legis lation of council and the acts of the general assembly relnVive to the city should he put In a concise form, and numbered off into sections, with refer ences on the side to the volume and page of the original nets, like the state code. In addition to this, the codifier was directed to make any suggestion* n the way of needed reforms that might occur to him. The resolution directing this was passed on Dee. 16, 1896, and M. P.
