Excerpt from Notes on the Selection and Design of Public Works: Hydraulic and Power Plants, Electric Lighting and Pumping Installations, Water Works, Sewerage and Drainage The officials of municipal or private corporations who find it necessary to undertake important improvements, such as the installation of water works, sewerage systems, electric lighting plants or power plants for various purposes, are brought at once face to face with complex and important problems. Invention has made manifold methods available for each case, and interested parties stand ready to prove (to their own satisfaction at least) the pre-eminent value of the goods or methods they represent. The conflicting evidence is confusing to those unacquainted with the details. While there may be many methods and plans for construction of an improvement, there can be but one best plan and that plan can only be determined by judgment based on extended experience. It is safe to say that aver large proportion of the public works of today are needlessly expensive. Sometimes they may be cheap in first cost; too cheap, indeed, for ultimate economy; and while much attention is commonly given to this point, the cost of maintenance and operation is often practically neglected. The cost of operating a large percentage of the water, light and power plants now in use, could be materially reduced by the adoption of proper machinery and methods. Economy should include all phases of the question. It is important, when new works are to be installed, to know what has been done in similar cases elsewhere. It is hoped that the following notes, data and illustrations from the writers practice, will be of interest and value in this connection. The writer will be glad to furnish further information concerning the works in question or to design and superintend the construction of similar works. New plants will be designed and installed, and old plants remodeled on an economical and modern basis. Attention will also be given to the testing of water, light and power plants, and to the examination and reports on their condition and value.
