Then the outlet is at low water
mark Of the river and at ail stages
except the lowest is under water
this closes tine lower extremity. So
we have closed apparatus ii i hieh
gas is always developing bGt at
very high water we have i good
deal more than that. At this stage
very large bulk of the apparatus
at its lower part viii be filed WITH
wafer, aud the gas which, occupied
this portion will have been f.raed
back into The upper part of the sew
erage. This latter will evidently
be tnen surcharged with sewer gas
in high state Of compression, un-
less outlets are made for ii ut ire
q1ent intervals along theapparatus.
If this compression is allowed 10
take place, we have the dangerous
complication arising where the sew
age gas, freighted with disease, is
forced back into our dwellings with
power which no traps or water
valves can resist.
We have left ourselves nospace to
describe the various mechanical
contrivanees whereby, in modern
sewerage, this ventilation has been
etfected, nor is it neediul, as we
.
do not propose to take the place Of
the skilled engineer who should do
it all. Our original purpose was to
show the necessity of employing
such an expert. we will, however,
refer such OF orr readers as may de-
sire to parsuc the study to a little
work which may be obtained by
ordering at the booksellers, and
which contains a large fund of in
valuable information on the subject.
Its title is "Sewer Gases their Ma
ture and Origin, and How to Protect
our Dwellings. BY Adolfo de We
roma" The price OF the book is
seventy-five cents.
P. S.-We learn with pleasure
that the Street Committee Of the
City Council is instructed to proceed
at once with the sewerage OF Frank
lin street from Second to First, car
rying the outlet to the river. While
il is impossible with their present
resources to make the sewerage of
the city what it ought to be, it is
satisfactory to see the Council thor
oughly awake to their responsible
tiles in the matter.
