ALAMEDA SEWERS
A System Sanitary and

1T WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
The Automatic Flush Basin Does the
Work That Reduces Alameda'S
Mortality Record.

Like some other things in the city of
Alameda. her sewer system is UNIQUE and
admirable.
And this is why the mortality statistics
OF Alameda make such good advertising
matter for California when published in
the Eastern papers.
For fact Zymotic diseases ara of most
rare Occurr enc e in this green little city Of
beautiful houses across the bay, and such
thing as sewer gas Is known to the in
habitants on hearsay evidence only.
I'VE have the finest sewer system in the
world" says Street Superintendent Frod-
den, and there is not . resident of the
peninsula unwilling to corroborate him.
That's because of your Geographical
condition." says the stranger you have
the natural advantages that other cities
lack"
YOU'RE wrong." says Mr.. Frodden.
''There is n OF a city in the world, least OF
all one on this coast. but what could and
should have as excellent sewer system as
our own"
And If you hesitate about accepting this
as gospel truth Mr.. Frodden will proceed
TO show you that the natural advantages

Cities"
1t takes part of the time of two men to
keep the sewer system of Alameda In
thorough working order. If any other
city can show a system that requires less
expenditure for its maintenance. Mr.
Frodden and the people Of Alameda would
be pleased to know OF it.
There is one thing which might be con-
sidered drawback to the sewer system
of Alameda. Eave-pipes may not be con-
nected with it.
But Aiamedans hold this no dlsadvan-
tage. They say that is one of the features
of the system and not an Inconvenience.
They point out that no sewer system is
large enough to carry off all the rain water
at all times. and they maintain that when
ever such thing is needed it will be time
enough to construct rain-sewer system
Alamedans are proud of their sewer
system, and the truth is they live all the
longer because Of 1t.
