1. Describe two methods of laying intake pipes, and describe a flexible joint.

2. Describe a driven well and discuss the method of arrangement that you would recommend for a number.

3. (a) Give a short description of "the biological explanation" for purification of water supplies by slow sand filters.

(b) Turneaure states in regard to slow sand filters: "But the cost of operation is not greatly affected by the rate, so that economy of high rate is not so great as it might appear at first sight." Give your explanation of this state

ment.

4. Describe briefly one system for strainers and collecting pipes in rapid sand filters.

5. (a) Give a list of tools and materials required for the construction of water works pipe line as shown in the blueprint accompanying this paper. The line extends from Pump to Seventh Avenue. Size of pipe is 18", and 10 services are to be made from the pipe to property line in each block.

(b) You have 40 working days in which to do the work. Give a detail of men required and contractor's estimate of cost.

(c) If all material is supplied on the job by the corporation, and you are paid every two weeks, what amount of money will you require to run the job? Assume your own data.

6. A stand pipe 80' high and 20′ diameter, is to be anchored by 12 bolts to the foundation. Calculate size of bolts.

7. (a) An outfall sewer has a section formed by a semicircular invert, with vertical side walls. If the radius of invert is 3′ and greatest depth of sewage is 6', find the slope required to give a velocity of 2' per second.

(b) Find the size of a standard egg-shaped sewer on same slope, to discharge the same quantity of sewage. C 70 and -3.14.

8. Ogden states in regard to a sewerage system: "Whether the system shall be designed to carry house sewage alone, or rainwater . . is properly settled by the local conditions. ." What local conditions would you consider it necessary to consider?

9. In preparing plans and specifications for a sewerage system, what data is it essential that should be embodied in the specifications so that a contractor will be able to get an intelligent idea of work and conditions involved?

10. (a) Describe a method of constructing a trench 10' deep, for a 12" sewer, in water-bearing gravel.

(b) Describe how the pipe is laid and how it is placed at the required grade.

11. (a) What is included under the general term "Wastes of Cities"?

(b) How is each collected and enumerate the methods of disposing of each?

12. Describe percolating filters under the following: (a) design, (b) construction, (c) operation, (d) efficiency.

1. (a) Describe a portable rock crushing plant for use in macadam road construction.

(b) Discuss the elements that enter into the cost of crushing stone.

2. Describe the process of constructing a water bound "Telford" stone road, using the trench method.

3. (a) Discuss the component parts of an asphalt, and outline the method of handling for paving use.

(b) State in as few words as possible the requisites. of the components of a sheet asphalt pavement, giving reasons for your answers.

4. Some of the college walks are in need of repair.

(a) What steps would you take in letting a contract for concrete walks?

(b) What specifications would you draw up for the laying of the above?

5. A street is to be paved and a concrete foundation is to be employed, 5" in thickness. If a broken stone concrete (1:3:6) is to be employed, and the yardage is 7000 square yards,

(a) State how you would construct it, giving the tools, etc., required, and analyse the arrangement and number of men and teams you would require. (Average haul, mile.) (b) Give a bill of cement, sand, and broken stone required for the work.

(c) Show how you would stake out the street for the concrete after the grading has been completed.

6. Deal briefly with street planning-under such headings as you think essential to discuss it from the city engineer's standpoint.

7. In comparing pavements for a certain street, under what headings would you endeavor to discuss them, and compare briefly, bitulithic and sheet asphalt as an illustration of your method.

8. (a) A street railway track is to be laid in a pavement. What, in your opinion, is the best method of constructing the substructure and paving? Give reasons for your answer, and draw a cross-section of the track as you propose

it.

(b) In a double track street railway line, what governs the clearance problem?

9. Describe a common method of suspension of trolley wire.

10 Discuss ornamentation in bridge design with reference more particularly to

(a) A concrete bridge.
(b) A steel bridge.

2. Describe the adjustments of the dumpy level, and explain what you are doing in connection with each adjustment. Use diagrams.

3. (a) You are called upon to make a plan in an office. Describe your work until you have completed the plan.

(b) How many kinds of plans do you ordinarily meet with in practice?

4. Describe the different kinds of levelling and show what headings you would require for notes in each case.

5. (a) In running a traverse, how many methods may be employed for finding the angles between consecutive courses? Give numerical examples.

(b) In the above show how you would calculate the bearing of a new course from an old one, using the examples you have used in answering (a).

6. (a) A survey was made as follows:

[blocks in formation]

Find the accuracy of the survey.

(b) Balance the survey.

(c) Indicate how you could calculate the area by Lats. and Deps.
