corpse.

(e) The whole form must be made in duplicate, either with a pen, carbon paper, or simplex paper, and the signature of the physician or coroner and undertaker must be on both the original and duplicate copies.

(f) The undertaker's certificate and paster of the original will be detached from the physician's certificate and permit and fastened to the end of the coffin box.

From this it is not to be inferred that action by the board will always be taken within the time mentioned.

Plans shall be accompanied by three copies of specifications and three copies of an engineer's report on the project.

On approval one set of plans, specifications, and the engineer's report will be retained for the files of the State board of health, one set will be delivered to the organization for which the work is to be done, and the third set will be returned to the engineer.

REG. 46. Information required.-The plans for a complete water supply and water system shall consist of the following parts:

A general plan of the municipality or district, showing the proposed system. Detailed drawings showing construction of any special structures in the distribution system.

General and detailed plans for the water treatment works.

A comprehensive report upon the proposed system by the designing or consulting engineer. This report to be typewritten upon letter-size paper, and the sheets are to be firmly bound together.

REG. 47. (a) General plan.-The general map refered to in regulation 46 shall be drawn to a scale not greater than 100 nor less than 300 feet to 1 inch, covering the entire area of the municipality or district to be supplied with water, and shall accompany each application in the case of a new water system, or any extension or modification of any water supply or water treatment system, unless such a general plan of the entire area has been previously submitted.

If the municipality is greater than 2 miles in length, the map may be divided into sections, conforming in size to those mentioned in regulations 48. The sheets shall be bound together and a small index map supplied, showing by number the area covered by the various sheets.

(b) Details of map.-This map shall show all existing or proposed streets, the surface elevations of all street intersections, and the elevations of the principal parts of the water system, such as water at the intake, in the reservoir or standpine,etc. The map should show that water-supply facilities can be provided for all sections of the municipality or district, even though the construction of pipe lines in some of the streets is to be indefinitely deferred. The location of intakes, valves, hydrants, reservoirs, pumps, standpipes, and purification plant, and any special structures shall be shown and referenced in a legend near the title. The size of pipes shall be written between the street lines and along the pipe. The map shall also show the true or magnetic meridian, title, scale, date, the municipal or district boundaries, the mean, low, and high water elevations of water at the intake. If the site of the pumping plant is subject to flooding, the elevation of the highest known flood water must be given.

(c) Lettering, lines, and symbols.-Letters and figures shall be clearly and distinctly made. Pipe lines to be built at present shall be shown by solid lines and those to be later constructed shown by broken lines.

(e) Detail drawings.-Detail drawings of all special appurtenances, such as blow-offs, siphons, intakes, conduits, reservoirs, collecting galleries, filters, etc., shall be submitted.

(f) Profiles of long conduits or pipe lines may be plotted to a convenient scale and shown on sheets of the sizes mentioned below.

REG. 48. Treatment works; general plans.-The plans for the treatment works shall consist of a general plan upon which reserve areas or future extensions must be shown, and also the general layout of the various units of the process, together with the piping system.

Detail drawings.-The detail drawings shall include longitudinal and transverse sections sufficient to show the construction of each unit and part of the plant. They shall also show the distributing, drainage, and cleansing systems, general arrangement of any automatic devices, sizes and depth of stone, gravel, or sand used for filtering material, and such other information as is required for the intelligent understanding of the plans.

Drawings.—All drawings submitted shall be neatly and plainly executed and may be traced directly on tracing cloth, printed on transparent cloth or printed on any of the various papers which give distinct lines.

Size of drawings.-The following dimensions are suggested for ordinary use, with the exception of the general map: Distance from top to bottom, 20 or 30 inches; length, 24 inches, 32 inches, 40 inches or 48 inches or thereabouts.

Information concerning treatment plant.-The following information is required respecting the treatment plant: The method of treatment and a description of the units of the system; the rate of operation of each of the systems; the rate of operation of each unit of the plant; if any chemicals are used, the nature and quantity of each, with a description of the appliances for adding the same to the water; a description of all conditions peculiarly characteristic of the water or locality which in any manner affect the design or operation of the system; a description of all special appliances used, any special methods of maintenance or operation of the plant, and the extent of treatment expected or guaranteed.

The report should further include a description of the nature and extent of the area to which it is proposed to supply water, or which will ultimately be supplied from the system, the quantity of water to be supplied daily, and the population to be served, the portion of the system to be constructed at present, and the minimum depth of pipe below the surface of the ground. A description of any provision for future units of pumping plants, filters, etc., should be given. REG. 53. Unsupplied districts. Should there be areas in the municipality or district which, on account of topography or for other reasons can not be supplied with water, a definite statement to this effect must be made and the probable future supply of this omitted territory should be discussed.

Requests for the analysis of special samples should be made to the board in writing, as samples will not be examined unless collected according to regulations of the State board of health.

REG. 58. Approval of plans.—Preliminary rejection of plans or suggested changes will generally be taken up with the engineer designing the system. Final approval or rejection will be indicated on each sheet of the plans and profiles, and in a letter on the project as a whole, copies of which will be sent to the engineer and to the mayor or other executive of the city, village, or institution for which the system or plant is designed.
