Catho, who was In a partially intoxicated condition, got Into bis buggy on Main Street near Seventh and whipped bis horse until it started down the street at a lively gallop. At Tenth Street he turned around and started up the street, but was stopped by Chief of Police Shaw- and plared under ar rest. After much pleading and a promise not to commit the offense gain he wa released. no gravel when the outlets have sep arate ratings In order to have tbe work evenly distributed. It was also found that when the river was car- rying considerable silt and the filter oecame stopped up more readily than at other times it was customary to rake thj top of tbe beds before wash ing. An explanation was given the superintendent why this was not con ducive to efficient operation and the pructlce has since been discontinued. "Regarding the supervision that is maintained the plant is materially deficient. The operation of any wat er plant should be Btrictly under lab oratory control, and the results of these findings should be the guide by w hich all work Is carried on. For in stance the amount of coagulant us ed should be increased according to the number of bacteria and the tur bidity of the raw water as well as the bacterial efficiency of the filter affluent. The present procedure Is to feed the coagulent by guess and as long as the water coming from the filters Is clear the operator has done all he can do, but at the same time the bacterial life which la the only problem to be feared may not have been satisfactorily cared for. ' Tbe report shows an absence oi colon bacilli in all samples analyzed by Mr. BrewBter. Tho report con cludes: "The company have ordered a plant for tbe application of bypoclorite of lime to be used as an adjustment to the filtration when necessary. While it cannot be said from this investi gation that the installation of thla plant is an uctual necessity, yet it is a very valuable adjunct and when Installed will make the entire system as complete and valuable as can be obtained and If the operation Is put under the laboratory supervision the people of Oregon City may be assur ed of a water supply that is eminent ly satisfactory In every way."
