The storage cistern already referred to will be made of con-crete, and as it is 15 ft. in depth the bottom of the cistern willbe about 10 ft. below the water level at high tide, and hencemust be constructed to withstand a water pressure of about600 lbs. per sq. ft. First the excavation for the walls will bemade to near the water line, and then the concrete walls builtin to make a concrete ring. After the walls are constructed to.

The roof proper is of 2-in. spruce plank, tongued and groovedand spiked to 2-in. x 5-in. sticks bolted on side of purlin the sheathing a five-ply slag roof is to be placed and willbe constructed as follows: First, a layer of dry felt is placedon sheathing, and over this four thicknesses of wool roofingfelt, weighing 15 lbs. single thickness to every 100 ft. The felt the water line depth, the earth is to be taken out from underthe ring, thus permitting the latter to settle down due to its ownweight. As the concrete ring or wall settles more concreteis to be added on the top, and so this process will be continueduntil the walls are constructed to the required depth. The bot-tom cistern is to be constructed of concrete and reinforcedwith steel rods to stand the required pressure. The whole will July 22, 1905.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 137 be made th
