difficulty in finally determining the lime to be adopted
for the new intercepting MIMI. After carefully con

'blaring this matter in all its bearings, I have adopted
for thee. inter...piing !ewer, the positioos and duce
Mous indicated by thick red lines upon the atesompany-
ing drawings", the several gradients and aims being
figured in ma ease.
It will be seen that by the arrangement I propose,
the whole of the sewage from ile;oombe Barris would
be meditated to the east end of the promoted dam,
through which is iron pipe would b• laid (Pta
beneath the apron of the outrages) for the parpoof
conveying this sewage to the western 14. .1 the Beak
-
water. The mirage of Weymouth will be solleeted by '
means of an intereepting sewer essumeming nest the
north-set corner of Hope-square, palming along the
Quay, and through the now embankment be the Gni
\Moils Quay, up to the western end of the New Darn,
where it would voile with the 'ewer from the eastern
iide.
Having now described the mode by which the whole
of the sewage of Weymouth and lielcombe would be
brought to • toms at the projeeting polut of the shore
south of the Beskwatitr Bridge. It is desirable that I
should here state in general terms, and as briefly
es possible, the meet prominent fasts bearing
upon the restate whir& have been arrived at in different
plasm where attempts have been made to dispose of
town sewage by various methods, in sash a manner as
to render it inoffensive and innocuous, and also to make
It as far as possible, a Degree of profit,
lit. AS to the method known as the " Earth Closet
Seldom," introduoed by the Reversed Mr. Motile, of
Dorchester. By this procs. the fusel matter is
deodorised in an effectual manner, and, as remarked by
the " Elver Palatka* OommisMonem, it forms "an
admirable seavraghm 'epsilon§ so far as privy refuse Is
stonserned." It is generally admitted to he very mail-
able for villages and public lastitutions, in many of
which it appears to have been adopted with sumer,
but, from the great attention required in supplying and
removing the earth, it is not adapted le the ease of
large towns. In the we of towns where this system
might be applied, proper sewers would still bea
to tarry off the gnat amount of fields widish thl=
Closet System would ant provide for, except by the
introduction of such a quantity of erathinto mash home
es would be gait* inadmissible in the ease of a town of
the size end eliarmier of Weymouth.
204. With respect to modes of Precipitation. The
system based upon this principle willith ham been most
prominently before the nubile is that which is called
the &B.C. or 81.111ar's proems. The works of the room
pony promoting this potent were examined by the
Rivers Pollution 001alnillni011, both at Leicester
and it L amington but without eatisfastery
results either as to the power of purilisation. or the
actual market value of the immure produced by it.
Further trials are it Is understood about to he made
with this proems at Bolton, Medi, fiouthamptott, and
Crossness. It should be added, however, that the
Oommissiouers reported to the effect that lb:minipills'.
tion required for the extraction and drying of the
manure by this system was "attended with a nauseous
odour, especially in warm weather, and would omission
• serious rittimmee if the works WM liinnied in Of
near a town." It would obviously therefore be unsuited
to Weymouth, names some great improvement should
be made in the proems, and the quietism of its being
remunerative is a matter yet requiring proof. Another
mode of precipitation, known at "Forbes Press:am*
*inside in the treatment of sewage with
' phosphate of alumina. Trials of this arc belay made
at Totteuharn ; the prime of tlie phosphate is some-
where about ti les. p•r ton, sod there appears so yet
to be a doubt as to the value of the manure resulting
frout.tht". applieetion of this process. .

3rd. Verlisus proposals hive been made for the
application of "Filtration,' or the separating by
meehanioal meant of the matters out/Lined In a state '
of suspension in sewage, and subjecting the organie
matters to • :lipid proem of oxidation by the action of
the atnospherie oxygen with which the pores of the
Situate ailed; but this requires that the filter be very
frequently removed, and cleansed, involving mush
attention and expense, whilst the most extensive
application of this system his hitherto failed to trots-
form the soluble putrescent organic matter into Innocuous
compounds. Such WM the result of the exanalnatioa of
tho Riven Palliation Commission into the system
adopted at Biding where the sewage is passed through
filters of eharcoal Dimly puked, and burnt clay bantst.
Charcoal filters wore employed at Uxbridge; but the
process was found to be so i.nperfeet that it WU &ban.

4th. The next solidest I have to notice is purifica-
tion of sewage by applyiag it to land. This his
bithei to been awned by two methods, one being
generally ksows as " Intermittent Filtrailon," the
. other is ' Sewage Irrigation." In the former the pri-
mary. indeed it way almost be sail the solo, obj.ist

romp win a view to prevent in becoming • nuisance
and ainseroas to Wrath, and se to MIRY it In to allow
of the el Lent water being safely admitted into rivers
or watercourses This system was reported upon by
the "Rivers Pollution Commission" about 2 years duce,
in the following terms —" With a properlyeounitated soil
well and deeply drained, nothing more would be nuee•
sary than to level the surface and divide it into four
maid plots, °ash of which in suseession would then
receive the sewage for six hours. In this way the
sewage of • water closet town of 10,000 inhabitants
could at • very moderate estimate, be Mimed upon

of six feet." The C01111116.40[16(1 speak of this proms

of the sewage ass manure, and only to be reoom Zen led
on a "small scale, or where °incestuous render any
other process extremely didieult or expensive." To
this it may be added that, in consequence of • supreme
difilealty arising out of an Injunction in Chancery, the
system of Intermittent Filtration through lead has
beea adopted under M. Bailey Buten*" direction at
Merthyr Tydvil, a town with a populatioe of 60.000,
the sewage being applied to XI a ores of lead, divided
into four aeries or beds el five sores, each reeeiving the
whole sewage outinuouly for six hours a day. Some
of the mops are said to have realised from £l7 to 1:20
per acre lieu Jane last, and the Chairman of the
Baird has mend, staled that if the load had been
obtained at a fair agricultural value, and the works
carried out at • cost for whisk they eould now be
emend with the inquired expo:Jones, they maid be •
souros of gnat profit to the raiepayers.
The Birmingham Sewage Inquiry Committee, visited
Merthyr resently, and state that "Not the slightest
offensive odour WWI given out, either from the land or
the carriers." After • most complete and exhaustive !
enquiry, daring the mouths of July, August, and Sept- !
ember, last the Birminglam Corporation have decided I
to adopt the system of Intermittent Filtration through
landorad propose also to supply sewage to occupiers and
owners.

-'171;-Syetem of Sewage Irrigation has been adopted
for upwards of 110 years in the vicinity of Edinburgh,
for 11 years at Carllslo. 6 years at Barb 5 years at
Rugby, 4 years at Banbury and Bedford, 3} years at
Warwick, and for shorter periods at other places.

As regards the vela* of ordinary town sewage for
agricultural purposes, it haa been determined by careful
analysis and investigation, that in • given quantity as
It flows from the sewers, the matters In suspension are
only one third (by weight) of those in solution, that the
fields are relatively more valnehie than the solids In
the ratio of about seven to one, and that the Intrinsic
money value of the dissolved constituents in 100 tons of
average sewage may be taken at 164 whilst the sus-
pendoi matters in the same quantity may be taken at
21, or say 21 per lon on the whole. It mast be tare.
fully borne in mind, however, that this represents the
Outmoded value of the eonstitneata. and that their
praotioal or actual fertilising value is oessiderably
muddied by the great balk of water In which they are
contained. This is • emeriery consequence of the
geueral adoption of the comparatively modern system
of water closets, and the large quantity of wider eau.

authorities as agrienltural shamble, and as practical
agrioultnrista, assign to ordlnere town sewage,

requires to be raised by vamping for distribution over
the land, the statements of expenditure and receipts
appear on the whole to leave a small profit dies paying
all expenses. It would seem from the latest experience
that as the area of land over which the sewage Is applied
hemmed extended, so the fertilising props are more
folly turned to amount, and the results become more
favourable In a fiesoMal point of view. The eases
wherein the conditions would be most analogous to
thoso which would obtain if the sewage at Weymouth
were utilised by irrigation are—Banbury' with a popula-
tion of 11,000, where the annual profit is stated to have
been about £B9; Bedford, with • population of 15.000,
where the annual profit is Meted to have been about
£67 ; and Werwick, with a population of 11,030, where
the profit for the present par is estimated at £l7l. In
each of these oases the sewage le applied to the land

already said, experWaos also points to the realisttioe of

that the gaieties' of profit must depend greatly upon
the various load conditions in 01011 case, more espec-
ially upon the height to which the sewage has to be
lifted, the eharseter of the land available, the rates at
which yeah land eon oe obtained, under lease or par-
ches), and the average character of the sewage of the
town. It may be here mentioned that ten tons of
water elaset sewage are considered to be equal in value,
for manurial purposes, to about 12 tons of average
pqlvy sewage- From the conditions at Weymouth there
can be no doubt that the sewage would at least equal
the average value of that in towns generally.

flaying regard to all the oireumataness, and the

E2itatigly resonsmood that the sewage having been
celluloid and brought to one point on the weetern shore
immediately to south a the Baskerata Bridge,
should be disposed of by epplioation to • limited area
of land, on the system of "Intermittent Filtration," In
the first Instance, with a view to it. being gradually
expanded and developed into • farm on the " Beware
Irrmation" system, wheal, the sewage would be utilised
in such • manner as will extract all its maunrial
values.
I would therefore rsoommend that, at the outset,
about 15 sores of land be obtained by lease or purchase,
somewhere on the gradually slop log ironed us the
west of the road leading from Wyke to Chickorel,
where I believe suitable laud may be found if the
subsoil be properly drained to a depth of say Oft. In
arranging or this land, it will be desirable to keep in
view the contingency of future expansion to which I
have previously alluded. The out of the reqeisite deep
drainage and preparation of Ulla land may be taken at
about £l2 per we. The effluent water purified by
raising through the land, would pau a into the

In order to raise the sewage to the requisite levels
resort mast be had to pumping; the site for the
pumps and works appertainingtheretobeing that

The Goat of pumping may be taken at about £5OO per

the Perm, and meet probably leave a small margin of
profit.

Considering that the primary Boum of the great evil
so much eomplained of will thus, beyond doubt, be
removed, and free of all annual °beiges except that of
intermit on the first east ol the Dun and sewers, I
apprehend your Board will amour in the view that the
Irrigation system is that which is beet adapted for the
effectual disposal of the sewage of Weymouth.
Inasmuch as some little time may posaibly elapse
before the sewage can he applied to the land, I have
eonsidered it maid** to dories a method. which,
though not eatisfaetory se a permanent remedy, will
nevertheless, to a great extent, abate the DUiSIIIOO
complained of.
This end will be bet attained by the following
arrangement :
Simihemostat, with the laying of the intercepting
sewers and the oonstraetion of the dun, the pumping
statism should be proceeded with, the materials front
szeavetion being used in the einbankineut dam. As
soon as the Lutereeptiag ..wen are immolated and
cionneeted with the pump% the sewage should be lifted
from the low level at wig& it arrived, up to about high
water of spring tides ; the solid matter would be retained
by means of an " Eatrotor." and conveyed into the
country by nichteoll Catl4. The diluent In titer, thus
freed from the solid impurities, would flow iete a tank,
and from therm* be let of only at the oontrnrneausent
of the ebb tide.

There can be no question that this temporary
ariangement, ooupled with the dew, would very greatly
abets the existing evils; but inasmuch se there would
ho no money return to 011101 the pumping chaise., it
will be seen how important 111.. on the ground of
