IUAGRAU OF THE CONDUIT ROUTE. 1 ncien Fcaifc Suggests the Need for Care ful Consideration. EEEPIXG WATER CLEAN AKD COLD Plans Tor furnishing a plentiful supply of pure water lor rittsbursr, Allegheny and turroundiup towns are exciting nmchdiscus ticin. The 'Western Water Company, which proposed to dam Indian creek, has prepared a plan of the proposed route its mains will take, of which a diagram is given. The estimated flow of Indian creek dur ing August, 1S92, was 20,000,000 gallons in -4 hours, when the creek was taid to be at its minimum. The drainage area of the proposed reservoir is 125 square miles. Its annual rainfall is not known, but is esti mated at 56 inches, of which CO per cent wou'd be available lor storage purposes. 'J lie annual consumption of water in Pitts burg at present is about 42,000,000 gallons. Allegheny consumes 24,000,000 gallons in the same time. The proposed reserToir is to cover 857 acres snd to contain 150 days' storage for .a daily consumption of 75,000,000 gallons. The water is to be brought to Pittsburg through 12 miles of tunnels, .31 miles of steel pipes, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The tunnels are to be made large euougb to supply 150, 000,000 gallons daily. ricnty of TTater In Sight. The supply for this demand would be ob tained by increasing the number of dams and reservoirs and talcing in the adjacent waters of Mill run, and if necessary con nections could be made with the Youghio gheny river, which, at this distance from the citr, would furnish very pure water. Lucien Scaife, who has made a study of the water works of the large cities both in Europe and America, was seen by a Dis patch reporter yesterday, lie was very enthusiastic on the subjectof getting apurer supply of water for Pittsburg and Alle gheny, and said it was a subject which would soon demand the attention of Coun cils, as the present system neither supplied the quantity nor quality of wafer demanded by the increasing population. When the Indian creek plan was mentioned, he saia; "I have seen the plass, and they seem feas ible to me. AsUAere have been a number of differed tvstems proposed, I would not . - want to ..... r-J2ore than another, till all hare'been thoroughly examined. The sup ply from Indian creek has the advantage of being so located as to meet a large number of towns. If the uuiting of Pittsburg, Al legheny and McKeesport and other towns should be accomplished, I doubt whether the supply would be sufficient The plant would have to be greatly enlarged over its. present plan. If this plan were even adopted for Pittsburg or Allegheny alone I would favor making it larger, because it will be built to last a number of years, and in that time great changes may come to the two cities. There should also be a number of mains so as to provide against accidents. Should Be Thoroughly Investigated. "This is a subject of such vast impor tance to the city that I do not think it can be too much agitated. The DistATCir has shown a commendable spirit in agitating the question. I would urge that the Coun cils of both Pittsburg and Allegheny take up the matter in time to allow abundant opportunity for discussion. They should appoint committees to take preliminary steps. These committees should consult with the Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania and secure the best talent that "can be procured. All the possible plans should then be considered before one is adopted. Alle gheny made a great mistake, when she adopted her present water system some years ago, by having it done as cheaply as possible. She is now reaping her reward snd must soon spend a large amount of money to improve her water works. I do not believe in that sort of thing, but think everything should be made of the best mate rial, so that it will last tor vears. "As a citizen of Allegheny I would not like to see the two cities united. They might go together for a common supply of wajer, but I would object to their being united into one city. When that is done I want to see Pittsburg have a more economi cal form of government than at present. As to the uniting of all the surrounding bor oughs with one head I do not think it ad visable. Experience has proven that the larger a city is the more corrupt its govern ment becomeB, and I would not favor such a move. To unite might do for water but water only. Allegheny on the Right Track. "As to the proposed plan of bringing water from Six-Mile Island for Allegheny, and for which Allegheny will soon" make nn appropriation, I do not think it would interfere with some plan lor both cities. If the Six-Mile Island system should be adopted by Allegheny, and another plan, for both cities, as the Indian creek plan should afterward come in, little change would be necessary, and it would be right in line with it, "Massachusetts has adopted a Jaw that Pennsylvania would do well to copy. It requites that no sewerage is to be put in rivers from which water is taken within 20 miles of any city. This would do away with all the complaints heard, as along the river below Pittsburg. The increasing population along our rivers makes some legislation npon this subject imperative and the Legislature should take it up. "One of the most perfect systems of water works I ever saw was at St. Eiteene, in Prance This city is a ,commerc!al center and is similar to Pittsburg in the wav of her lactone. They have a dam 160 feet high and 330 feet long, that has supplied the city with an abundance ot water and works ery satisfactorily. It cost between 300,000 and $400,000 and is built on a plan similar to the Indian Creek scheme. Keepin j Water Clear and Cool. "Paris is supplieJ with water from small springs. This water is stored in covered reservoirs, which keep it cool and fresh. I would like to sav that covered reservoirs should be used here, as it keeps out im purities of all kinds. What is the use of going to all this expense of having pure water, if it is" not kept pure after it has been collected for us? There, arches of maonrr a"re built over ibe water. Thes? are covered with earth and sod, which keep the water as cool as that ot tbe spring. 'Paris also has a unique way of getting rid of her sewerage. ' is not run into the Seine, but pumped to Isle of Geaneviellers, where it is puri 'r being passed through furrows and, FACTS SPEAK PLAINER THAU WORDS.

Wo want them to wear the same clothing as their fashion able metropolitan cotemporaries, and they can do it, if their parents will but visit KAUFMANNS' Children's Cloth ing Department, where Best & Co.'s matchless novelties will be on special exhibition this week, and where (this may seem strange, but it's true) the choicest and "creamiest" little Suits can be had for less money than in New York. This latter fact is accounted for by our universal SHALL PBOFITS AND LAEGE SALES system. A Lecture on Cranks. John H.
