I.angford, the considling engineer, who described tho main I eat ores of the building. It lias been designed to accommodate any kind of plant likely to be installed, and will be located on a flat section. The boilers will be of water tube design. The floor of the condenser and boiler rooms will be five lect below the ground level. A drain live loet deep is provided for, to gravitate the condenser water back to tile river, and the ash ejeeior will also lie connected with this drain, thus saving labour.

About 1 I pc'' cent of this would lie ashes, and it would not a fleet the river to any great extent. 11l any ease the Drey I’iver was a sludge channel.
