gases of decomposition. and the evaporation from such mischne would be most offensive under such conditions

With a fall of 44 feet per mile the water, after flowing through the Aqueduct, 64 miles, would be delivered at 375 feet elevation above the Sea.
Al Tisztam an embaulement to impound water 90 feet in depth would form a reservoir having a surface area of abord 23 acres. The volume of water impounded would be about 250 millions of Gallons.
The Conduit if constructed, as suggested: will contani about 3 millions of Gallons
of water.
There are 13 Diagrams.
The Aqueduct is shewn 6'0' x 3'6 in deptle
