Concrete Tanks.

Concrete tanks are rapidly supplanting reservoirs and cisterns of every other type. Wood decays and iron and steel will rust. Concrete is the ideal material for tanks when they are properly constructed. They are described at length in a bulletin issued with the above title by the Association of American Portland Cement Manufac-

turers, Land Title Building, Philadelphia, Pa. The bulletin sets forth the advantages of concrete for the purpose specified and then presents working drawings, tables, etc., in conjunction with general descriptive matter illustrating proper methods of construction. It is one of the especially valuable books issued by the Association, as it meets the needs of thousands who are not contractors, but who require improvements of this character.
