appexdix. 181) if the filter has proper care it will not be essential to do it each j-ear. Care should be taken to close all apertures in the cistern in such a manner that vermin, ground water leachings, or any other impurities will be positively excluded. The roots of certain kinds of trees have a great propensity to seek water, and will find their wa^' through brick-work if there is the smallest crevice to give them a chance to force an entrance. Cisterns are sometimes built partially or wholly above ground; also rectangular in form with vertical sides and covered with a circular arch. The filter is also frequentl}' built above ground and at a distance from the cistern, the water being conducted thereto in a duct made of brick or by iron or earthen pipe. Great care should be taken in laying this conduit to see that the joints are made perfectly tight. Chain pumps are frequently used for drawing water from cisterns and have the advantage of thoroughly aerating the water, but as they are necessarily placed directly over the cistern and require a large opening to be made the danger of contamination from foreign substances getting into the water is greatly increased. The following is a fair estimate of the cost of a cistern of the size shown ou the plan, where the prices of materials are the same as those quoted : Three and one-half thousand bricks at §8.00--------§28 00 Four barrels lime at 1.25_____ 5 00 Three barrels cement at 3.00______ 9 00 Labor excavating, bricklaying, preparing filter with covers, etc------------------------------ 30 00 Total-------------------------------$72 GO The cost of larger ones would be somewhat less in proportion to the size. After this paper had been read, Dr. Balinsoii said : Following out the plan outlined this morning, I will say that this is a perfectly informal meeting, and we would be glad to have all participate in it, and to ask any questions that you feel disposed to ask."
