During this part o f the trip the pari)' had the pleasure of the com· pany of ~Ir. G. G. Robbins, of the clnss o f '04 , who is on his wily to Elmira, N.

Party "A" consisting of I·\. K. Veddcrand thecivilengineers; p.1rty "B," headed by Dean Bissell , com· prising the mech:mical and electrical engineers. Party " A" \·isited the sixteen million gallon filtration plant for th e w llte r supply of the city of Nia<':lra Falls, while party "B" in· spected the mills of the International Paper Company, where new spaper stock is made from wood pulp by both mechnnical and chemical pro· In this mill one hund red cesses. and sixty to ns of paper are turned Ollt d.1i1y.

Some idea of the magnitude of this (level· opment ca n be g ained from the fact that both p lauts use in the neighbor. hood of 8,000 cubic feet of water each second of the day, or in othe r words _ 156 tons o f w ate r per sec· o nd . Afte r a thorough inspection of the American plants the parly crossed over to the Calladian side, whe re, close to the H orseshoe Falls the Canadian b ranch of the same company is lCK:ated.
