for the water is never to exceed 50 francs (£2) for each 1,000 

 litres (220 gallons), delivered within each twenty -four hours, per 

 annum. 



7. — The Canal Conduit for Irrigation and Manuring. (Fig. 1.) 



Independently of the supply of drinking water, there is another 

 and much more extensive system of canalling for the purposes of 

 irrigation and manuring the fields and meadows on the heights 

 of Neigies, on its north-west side, which will be connected with 

 two points of the undertown gatherings of the sewers and waste 

 waters — the one in the neighbourhood of the projected paper 

 mill, the other near the great suspension bridge. This is to be 

 the undertaking of a branch Company, as before stated. And this 

 second conduit will be as important to the inhabitants of Ereiburg . 

 and its neighbourhood for sanitary conditions as for economical 

 results, and it speaks forcibly for the vast foresight and the 

 weU directed enterprise of the ingenious promoter of these 

 works for the general good. In the plan, fig. 1, the canals may 

 be observed by their dotted lines. These canals will terminate 

 with proportionably large receiving tanks, from which the irriga- 

 tion and manuring of the neighbourhood are pointed out by the 

 radiating dotted lines. 



The raising of this waste water and sewage is brought about 

 by a new method, discovered by Mr. Ritter, and applied here at 

 Freiburg for the first time. This method is based, as is also 

 Capt. Liernur's system, on the application of compressed air, 

 which will be applied in a direct manner on the half liquid 

 matter that will be gathered together in the tanks for the up 

 delivery, and will leave nothing behind. All this will be done 

 without the aid of pumps as hitherto in use elsewhere. 



8. — The establishment of Fish-culture, the Bathing estabUsh- 

 ment, and the Ice-houses of PeroUes. 



About 1 mile behind the dam, and on the left side of the newly 

 formed lake of Perolles, and at a pleasing and picturesque spot, 

 may be seen the establishment for fish-culture, the bathing 

 establishment, and the ice-houses, &c., all joint undertakings of 

 the one branch Company, as before stated. (Fig. 1.) 



The establishment of fish-culture was formed for the praise- 

 worthy intention of stocking afresh the waters of the canton for 

 a circuit of about 90 English miles around Freiburg. For this 

 reason then this branch Company, or more properly speaking, 

 Mr. Bitter, caused a concession to be made to him by the 

 Council of Freiburg to farm the fisheries of the canton for fifty 

 years, upon a payment of 100,000 francs (£4,000) as a premium.
