An eree on Lentru i øl and largely uninhbited - including two er more volleys with the slopes on either side should be taken over for the f m Reservoire sould b constructed with the necessɛry cut und conduits, and enter led to the hillsides in the re to be dresa on se required. A pier would be constructed .t the foot of the valley and the night soil, brought by lighter from the city, would be pumped up through pipaa to atorage tanke high up on the nillsides: city rubbiah would be conveyed by overhead trolleys. Below the storage taks and rubbisa dumps, terraces would be made, and on these would be built open sided onede in whica Indore Compost would be manuf÷ctured.
