the State at least once in a year. It aims to become a clear- 

 ing house for information concerning water supplies. In- 

 formation that has proved of advantage to one supply may 

 thus be passed from plant to plant. This aim may be more 

 quickly realized through the Illinois Water Supply Associa- 

 tion recently formed. The objects of the Association are the 

 advancement of knowledge relating to water-works and water 

 supply, and the conservation of water supplies for public use. 

 The Association is to meet annually at the University of 

 Illinois, where it can take advantage of the facilities of the 

 State Water Survey and the Laboratories for Hydraulic and 

 Mechanical Engineering. The Association can make valua- 

 ble suggestions to the Water Survey, and can also strongly 

 support the Survey in its endeavors to conserve the welfare 

 of the people of the various communities of the State.
