Mr. BAIL/AM.. the engineer, read the following report
on the arrangements he had made in pursuance of the reso-
lution of the board se to deodorising the contents of the prin-
cipal sewers:

laden I ed to make arrangements for deodor ;slug the
sewage discharged from 40 of the main sewers by precipita-
tion with lime ea recommended in my report of the 28th

" On the following morning, five or raiz were being thus
deodorised by the admixture of ground lime, sod the next
day the moms was going on at 40 of the main outlets. Large
vats have 'Moe been constructed, and are bey teed ea
rapidly as they can be made in order to substitute the milk of
lime for ground lime at all these seism, this being the moat
advantageous mode of application. Lime hoe hitherto been
supplied to the board in small quantities, under the jobbing
contracts, at 17e. 6d. per yard, but, considering that such
large supplies should be obtained upon the most favourable
terms, I obtained fresh tenders from thirteen table and
well-known lime merchants. and from the two bbing ace.

" I have now to report that about 1,000 tone of lime have
hem need in the seven at • oat of about 0001., and that to

On the motion that this report be received,
Mr. Deputy HARRISON wanted to know hew long Ibis

continued for the present, or during the hot weather, se the
lime was pat into the ewers, sad from them 11 flowed into
the Thames . . . . .

91r. Lama hoped that they would hew what we of the
greatest chemists of the present day—Dr. Holman--taid
upon this subject. He said : " The several processes M11)-

Mr. PRILLIPS rid a chemist examined before a comndise
d the Boum of Commons said that for every ton of lbw
throws la, ft oausd four tons of depoelt, and therefore it Ito
man a wiry serious matter to consider whether such a mama

Mr. Picgarr hoped the process would not be discontinued
aril it had had a fair trial.
