Nearly every condition for the formation of a alore reservoir which had been so fruitlessly sought for in the bars and contracted valley of Pokfoolam, would appear at first sight to buy hare fulfilled.

The Greek Government has sont a conciliatory at Pokfoolam, and the questionable expedient ef soto to the Great Powers demanding the oxton- a triple réservoir, which had to be rosorted to in sign of the frontier adjoining. Epirits as adjudg- order to doviny a water-supply howoror seant, ed by the Treaty of Berlin. iho marked contrast presented by the generous diniensions of the Aberdoon Valley could not but bo a gratifying sight.
*On closer emmination, however, the bed of the valley scarcely appeared to have sufficiently high elavation to provide water to the higher portions of the town. The sabaquant surveys were productire of the disappointing ro sults, for although it was proved that the for- mation of an inland laite of treaty-two acres war perfectly feasible, it was also discovered that the exit of the water sonki not be effiotod at a greater clovation than 240 text shoro maan 201 lavel. Abordeen water, it brought by gravitation iate town, could therefore only serve those dis tricts below that level.
A dat at Aberdeen 30 feet high in its deopost part and $20 feet long would form so impound ing reservoir of 213 million gallons. This quinti- ty gives 2 gallons por day and together with the prosoat Pokfoolum supply, would make a total storage of 997 million gallons, or a tutel daily allowance of 14 gallons por hoed of pop
talium.
"The sres of the gathering ground above the reservoir site is 610 aus yilding in years of the smallest rainfall, sey 30 inches, a drainage of 630 million gallons, which after a deduction of sixty per sent. for percolation into the ground and evaporation would test a bilance of 270 million yalious or more than onagh by millions to till the reservoir. A stream giving approximately 100,000 gallons per day flows down the valley all the year round, and thers are likewise two anal perennial nullets which would be of some help in roplenishing the voinme of stored water after all rain druinngo and cassad. Owing to the very low site of its outlet onlvort and its consequent fanbility to accoramilate the noper town, the Abordeon project, if adopted. would necessitate two distinct sote of water works. Those parts of Victoria lying above the outlet level would have to be fed from Pokfoalum by a high level conduit, while the lower town would have to bo pravidel for by a low level conduit from Aberdeen loading into a low level service reservoir to be built at some couronlent xits on the 200 fast level in the neztra of the city. The line of demarcation between the two
water services would be a little boler the laval of the Bonbar and Caine Roads and Govern ment House grounds.
The conveyance of the last milo and a quarter of the Aberdeen supply would have to be made in cast iron 24 inch maine as it would be injudi- cions to expose it to the chances of pollution by the percolation of town drainags, and inden, at intervals along its whole length structural pro- cautions would have to be faker to make the cover of the conduit impervious to the Altration of sewage irrigation and ctor impurities, for its low level would compel it to pass through many frequented places and occasionally below the level of cultivated patches of Inad.
Bat it is mainly the inadequate sight of delivery which zo seriously detracts from any advantage that a water supply from Abardaan
might possess. It makes the project like the
Pokfoolura triple reservoir soheme rank as an alternative plan, to be reverted to only when anything better has been found impracticable."
The cost of gravitation works at Aberdeen was found to come to £250,000.
