to failure on the part of the borough to 
enter into a discussion of the sizes, etc. 
This projected sewer will serve as an out- 
let for sewage from the various buildings, 
and the necessary laterals have been laid 
with this in view, but, of course, they can- 
not be used until the main line is laid. 
The following is a list of the quantites 
used in obtaining the results outlined : 
2-in. galv. wrought iron pipe. 7,60Olin. ft. 
li-in. galv. wrought iron pipe. 44,4C0 “ 
1-in. galv. wrought iron pipe. 15,900 “ 
Flush lawn hydrants 378 pieces 
Standard hydrants 50 
Drains laid in cement, 6 in. 
to 12 in 32,200 lin. ft. 
French drains, open joints, 6 
in. to 8 in 9,250 “ 
Sewers, laterals, 6 in 3,150 “ 
Catch basins along roads 275 pieces 
Catch basins on lawn 10 “ 
Without entering into the question of 
economy, which will vary greatly accord- 
ing to local conditions, it may be added 
that the writer has considered the advisa- 
bility of establishing a local pumping sta- 
tion for the purpose of obtaining water for 
watering purposes. At first thought it 
seem inadvisable, inasmuch as in course of 
time the ground water might be polluted 
from the graves, but with certain precau- 
tions taken it seems justified. If a tight 
well is sunk to some considerable depth no 
ground can get into it without first being 
filtered through a corresponding layer of 
soil, and by surrounding it with loose stones 
as far down from the surface as drainage 
can be provided the bulk of the ground 
water coming from near the surface will 
be given an easier outlet through the drains 
and the possibility of having objectionable 
water enter the well will be negligible. 
This question may serve as a basis for 
some discussion. 
Naturally the work described above does 
not lend itself advantageously to photo- 
graphic representation; the views of trench 
work, however, will give an idea of depth 
and also of the method of staking out the 
lines with batters, boards fastened above 
the trench a suitable number of feet above 
the grade of the drain, provided with nails 
on the center line between which a line is 
dawn taut and permits verification of the 
depth and line at any point during the lay- 
ing of the drain.

THE LOT INDICATED. 
FINES FOR MISBRANDING INSECTICIDES 
Notices of Insecticide Act judgments 
have been issued recently by the Depart- 
ment of Agriculture regarding the follow- 
ing cases : 
A fine of $200 was imposed on the 
James A. Blanchard Co., of St. Joseph, 
Mich., for shipment into Nebraska of mis- 
branded lead arsenate ; for shipment into 
Iowa of misbranded Paris green, and for 
shipment into Iowa of lead arsenate 
which was adulterated and misbranded. 
The lead arsenate shipped into Nebraska 
bore a label which stated that it contained 
15 per cent arsenic oxide, which statement 
was proved false by analysis. Each pack- 
age of Paris green that was shipped into 
Iowa purported to contain one pound net, 
whereas each package contained less than 
one pound net. The label on the. adulter- 
ated and misbranded lead arsenate which 
was shipped into Iowa claimed soluble ar- 
senic oxide less than 75/100 of 1 per cent, 
which statement was untrue. 
A fine of $100 was imposed on the Blu- 
mauer-Frank Drug Co., of Portland, Ore., 
for shipment into the state of Washington 
of “Whale Oil Soap” which was mis- 
branded. The label stated : “This soap 
is highly and universally esteemed as a 
destroyer of moths, worms, lice and a]l 
insects that infest plants, shrubs and trees; 
it also operates as a fertilizer to the plant 
or tree.” Tests by the Department of 
Agriculture showed that the product was 
not effective in destroying all insects that 
infest plants, and that it did not contain 
any substance that would act as a plant 
fertilizer. 
A fine of $25 and costs was imposed on 
the C. G. Betts Co., Spokane, Wash., for 
the shipment into Idaho of a quantity of 
insecticide called “Inland Lime-Sulphur 
Spray.” Misbranding was alleged because 
it consisted partially of water, and neither 
the name and percentage amount of this 
inert ingredient, nor in lieu thereof the 
names and percentage amounts of each 
and every ingredient having insecticidal or 
fungicidal properties and the total percent- 
age of inert ingredient were stated on the 
label. 
A fine of $25 was imposed on the Hood 
River Spray Manufacturing Co., Oregon, 
for shipment into Washington of an in- 
secticide known as “Niagara Spray.” Mis- 
branding was alleged because the article 
consisted partially of water and the label 
neither stated the name and percentage 
amount of this inert ingredient, nor in lieu 
thereof the names and percentage amounts 
of the ingredients having insecticidal or 
fungicidal properties and the total percent- 
age of the inert ingredient. 
A fine of $25 was imposed on J. C. Pier- 
son, of New York City, for shipment into 
Colorado of an insecticide designated as 
“Stott’s Fir Tree Oil Soap.” The label 
on this mixture read ; “Effective for kill- 
ing scale, mealy bug, red spider, aphis and 
all insects that infest plants. It keeps 
palms in a fine, healthy condition. It is 
an excellent wash for dogs.” Misbrand- 
ing was alleged for various reasons. The 
word “Stott’s” on the label was consid- 
ered misleading, as the name of the manu- 
facturer was not “Stott,” but was the 
Thompson Carbolic Soap Co. The insec- 
ticide also was not effective for killing 
San Jose scale or for killing aphis and 
all insects that infest plants, and the state- 
ment on the label that it contained 85 per 
cent of soap was also discovered to be un- 
true. 
A fine of $25 was imposed on Peter 
Kerr, Thomas Kerr and Andrew Kerr, co- 
partners doing business under the firm 
name of Kerr, Gifford & Co., of Portland. 
Ore., for the shipment into the state of 
Washington of a quantity of “Heming- 
way’s Pure Lead Arsenate” which was 
adulterated and misbranded. The sub- 
stance consisted of more than 50 per cent 
water, although the label stated that it 
contained only 50 per cent water. The 
label also claimed that it contained 15 
per cent arsenic oxide and 32 per cent
