Midgley Tay1or.l Themap given therewith shows the positions of the severalworks described in thisPaper. Although the Author’s duties included the design of the various stations, and in some cases of the building works, the space at disposal renders it necessary for his remarks to be confined to the mechanical details ; and even these cannot be dealt with by any means as fully as he could wish. PARTICKPUMPING-STATION (Fig. 1, Plate 7). The sewage discharged from the Glasgow and Partick intercepting sewers, the former having a diameter of 6 feet and the latter of 5 feet, is dealt with at this station. The head to beovercome is 35 to 36 feet, including a sufficient allowance for loss of head while passing through screens, etc., and for giving assurance that the in- tercepting sewers will, except during very heavy rain, always have a clear fall into the station. The sewage flows across the station and, after being raised by the pumps, is delivered directly over forebays into the main outfall-sewer, where it joins the high-level sewage passing through the aqueduct over the Kelvin, and flows with it to Dalmuir.There are practically no horizontalpipes: the flow of sewage and the behaviour of the pumps are under easy observation ’ Ante, p.

Walking is a great way to stay healthy and benefits are plentiful. Below are a few of the benefits that you can expect to gain by maintaining a level of walking which suits your ability. • Helps control weight • Builds and maintains healthy bones, muscles and joints • Improves the function of your heart and lungs • Relaxes you • Reduces signs of stress and anxiety • Gives you more energy • Reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol • Increases self confidence • Keeps the brain active Why not build up your walking programme If you are starting out on your first walk build up your fitness gradually and join one of the many health walks in your local community, meet lots of new friends and chat while the miles disappear and before you know, its time for a well earned cuppa, whilst reflecting on your morning’s exercise. Next on the programme is level 1A which is slightly longer than your health walk but you know you are ready for the challenge! Moving on to Level 1B which is slightly more adventurous than the last level, incorporating more inclines and walking for a slightly longer distance. Last level on the Renfrewshire Walking Network programme is Level 2 which incorporates all levels adding in rougher ground, longer time and distance walking but just as enjoyable with lots of company along the way! So whatever level you start at there is a walking group in Renfrewshire for you.
