The muddy, debrisladen liquid becomes clear, sparkling, soft water, free of taint, through the machinations of a $45,000,000 water, sewerage and drainage system. Thus serving residences, industries, steamships, parks, etc., it may be seen that Ol’ Man River has his good as well as his bad points, for while he sometimes goes haywire and dampens a large part of the countryside, he provides drink, power, sewerage and sanitation when approached in the right- manner.A revenue of nearly $1,200,000 was realized from the nearly 20 billion gallons of water used in the New Orleans area. From a point near the shore the water is pumped to the plant in the Carrollton district of the city, where, during (lie course of a year, thousands of tons of chemicals are used to purity the water. Detailed, in 1928, these included 6,553 tons of lime, 1,389 of sulphate of iron, and 25 of liquid chloride. For every million gallons of water, 3,6 tons of foreign matter are removed and when the water finally emerges from the spigots of New Orleans homes it rates considerably higher than the purity standards required by the United States Public Health Service.From the slave-handled pumps of a century ago to the highly mechanical perfection of today is a far cry, but the Mississippi still rolls on, carrying more water than New Orleans can ever use. Those 20 billion gallons are only a drop in the bucket.Over 11,000,000,000Cigarettes ProducedNtw York. - - More cigarettes were manufactured in October than ever before in any single month.
