through a network Of subsoil drains The
filter beds must be cleaned occasionally
and the upper layers replaced at intervals.
With proper management all the suspend
ed matter in the sewage and from 70 to 80
per cent Of the dissolved matter (organic)
may be removed. While this plan does
not preclude the successful raising Of
crops, this is of secondary Importance, and
under Minneapolis conditions would not
pay for the extra expense 1t entailed.
Experiments at Lawrence, Mass, showed
that from SO to 81 per cent of the bac-
terial growth could be removed by this
process. One acre of land for each 1000
would provide ample filter area under con-
ditions as they exist In Minneapolis, it is
claimed. With preliminary chemical
treatment of the sewage, the fltering
beds could be reduced considerably in
area.
Reading, Pa, has this sytem in opera
ton. It is described as the rapid-double
filtration system, the most modern known,
and serves about $4,000 people. The
gallons per day. The filter beds cost
100000 and the system complete, includ-
ing pumping station, 100000. No esti-
mate of the cost Of such a system in Min
neapolis is possible at this time. The
Toronto officials have been investigating
the matter and the city engineer there re-
ports an est Innate Of more than 81, 500, 900,
more than one-half of which, however,
represents the cost of intercepting sewers.
Probably this would be the main item in
constructing such a system in Minneapo-
lis.
Results of Irrigation.
The system OF broad irrigation is most
frequently found in the European cities,
and is best adapted to large communities
where labor is cheap and garden produce
is high. Only under such conditions can
the raising of crops be made profitable
Under this system 1t requires about one
acre for each 100 population served.
Therefore 500 acres would be required to
take care Of Minneapolis sewage at the
present time. Croydon, Eng. has used

be thrown away for lack of market for
it among the farmers.
Worcester, Mass, has this system.
About 5,OO0,O 900 gallons a day, half of the
present sewage flow in Minneapolis, is
treated daily at an annual cost of from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t is also in operation
in Hamilton, Ont, and in several of the
large English cities, notably Glasgow.
Manchester, England, reports the cost Of
operation under this system at $3.50 per
million gallons. Providence, R. l., has
recently installed this system there.
