费城的过滤混乱。

费城过滤局首席工程师吉列少校被迫辞职，因为政府的变化已完成了他预期的工作的百分之七十五，并且将使命令退出混乱。由纽约市过滤系统建设的首席助理工程师弗雷德里克·C·邓拉普（Frederick C. Dunlap）继任，工资为8,000美元。几周前，Uunlap先生的晋升和吉列少校的辞职被预示了消防和水工程专栏。吉列主要的年薪为17,000美元；但是，随着对过滤式培训的工作几乎完成，没有理由为什么应该继续薪水如此之高。指出的是，整个过滤系统已经详细计划，几乎所有的过滤系统都签约了。吉列市市长的执行辞职，在现有条件下，这是不可避免的，没有反映他的专业人物，也不得忘记（说通讯员）他被带到舞台上太晚了，也从未得到自由。此外，他还被市政厅的政客团伙的束缚并束缚，他们反对他们中间的“有力和诚实的人”。他可能会去巴拿马运河上班，据了解，一个好的位置正在等待他的接受。II是继任者Dunlap先生，据说由于他对工作的深入了解，因此特别为该职位提供了很好的装备。 He was in actual charge of the building of the Torresdale filtration plant, lie personally drew nearly all of the plans for the work under the direction of Mr. Hill and he has made a special study of sand filtration. Major Gillette, on taking hold of the work in Philadelphia, found less than seven miles of pipe, most of it in triple line in a single ditch, with twenty-seven months’ work. There are now being put in twenty-five miles, most of it in single and double lines, and, at the time of completion, it will have taken only a little over seven months’ actual work. Major Gillette found work going on involving only four “growing” pipe ends. Work is now going on involving nearly forty such points of increment. He leaves ready for use at the Torresdale plant two pumping engines, with a capacity of 40.000.000 gals, each, the remainder of the power plant to be ready about the end of June, by which time the intake will be completed and the conduit repair work finished. so that the whole plant can be operated at its full capacity of 150,000,000 gals. As to the cost of the filterbeds at Torresdale: Th * fiftylive already built when Major Gillette came on cost $91,272 per filter as compared with the commission’s estimate of $43,795 per filter—an actual expenditure of $121,697 per acre, as comnared with the cost of an acre at Albany. N. Y.. at $77,000 at Pittsburg, and $75,800 at Washington fur the same kind of filterbeds complete. Major Gillett Ms estimate of $1,064,000 being saved by the city under the various contracts let bv him. as compared with the prices which, he said, would have been paid under former contracts, was made up as follows: Filtering materials—Total cost at presort prices. $302,000: cost for same work under the former contracts, $(>57,000—a saving to the citv of $355,000. or for the 37 filters being finished under present contracts of about Sto.oco a filter; on ten other filterbeds an additional saving of over $too.ooo. Cost of Torresdale pipelines under present contracts, $1,696,000, as compared with $2,302,000 at McNichol’s contract prices—an indicated saving of $606,000.
