Abstract
taste doses is by no means of constant width. Under certain conditions it narroxws, that is to say the taste dose and the efficiency dose move closer together, in fact we believe at times they practically coincide. It will be understood from the foregoing that the water which we have to chlorinate is variable, that is to say we will for a period of days get a water at our intake pipes which it is possible to chlorinate efficiently without taste with considerable ease. Then in a few hours the water may change in character to a water that it is very difficult to chlorinate efficiently without getting complaints from the citizens that the water tastes and smells. We call this troublesome type of water "a susceptible water," meaning that it is susceptible to taste or smell after chlorination. At Toronto the variability of the water at the intake with respect to the ease with which it can be chlorinated satisfactorily is entirely dependent upon winds. If we have steady west winds, or north winds, or south winds-the latter being a rarity-we have no particular trouble in chlorinating the city water, but when we get a sustained east
