THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF GLASGOW.
In the course of an article in Page Magazine on the Glasgow main drainage system Mr. Benjamin Taylor, F. R. G. S Temarks that the main drainage scheme for the collection and treatment of the sewage of Glasgow and the adjacent Local Authorities was authorised by special statutes in 1891, 1896, 1898, and 1901. The territory included stretches along both sides of the River Clyde for a distance of about fifteen mles, the super- ficial extent of the drainage area being about forty square miles. This, tervitory may be in- creased by the inclusion of areas belonging to ou lying authorities.
The drainage area is divided into three sections, erch "distinct from the others, with separale works for the disposal of their sewage.
The principal features of the western scheme. or second section now in progress, are the con struction of an outfall sewer to convey the drainage of the higher levels of Glasgow and Partic' to the works at Dalmuir: the construc-

The Glasgow and Partick intercepting sewers are pumped into the outfall sewer at Partick Bridge on the munirípal outskirts of the city, the lift of which is 37 ft. The pumping engines, three in number, are of the triple-expansion type, with plunger pumps, each being capable of raising 4,250 gallons per minute or 16,0co.cco gallons per day. Steam is supplied to these engines by four boilers, working at a pres- sure of 160 per square inch. The Clydebank intercepting sewer is pumped at Dalmuir, the lift there being 21 ft. The smaller engines at Dalmuir are of the centrifugal type, and the power for the treatment plant is transmitted by electricity,

All the sections of the western undertaking might have been completed before this had not the Town Council, at the outbreak of the South African War, directed that capital expenditure on works should be suspended owing to the advanced rate of interest on money. expected, however, that during the course of this year (1903) the work on the northern bank of the river will be so far advanced as to permit the greater part of the sewage derived from the westem area being purified, and a correspond. ing improvement in the conditios of the river * brought about.
+
The works on the southern bank, the details of which have already been elaborated, will be pushed forward, but a longer time must neces sarily clapse before their completion can be affected, probably 1907.
The original estimates of the cast of this great scheme bave been largely exceeded, for various reasons which need not be gone into here. The present estimated cost of the whole scheme is £2,100,000, but the ultimate cost will probably be considerably more. Then the Clyde will be comparatively clean and sightly once more, and the descendants of the lordly salmon captured by the rod of Saint Mungo
ay return to the haunts of their ancestors.
