NEW BRUNSWICK.-During the spring of 1911, a plant was installed for the disinfection of the New Brunswick water-supply by chloride of lime.

This hypochlorite plant consists of two barrels in which the hypochlorite is mixed. From these the liquid is drawn off into three other barrels and they are filled with water to the top, making a weaker solution. From these barrels, the solution feeds to a half-barrel, which is used as a regulating chamber, the liquid being kept under a constant head by means of a float. About 40 pounds of hypochlorite are used per day, or about 0.4 parts available chlorine per 1,000,000 gallons.
