SEHERAGE NEEDED.

The question of sewerage II now
being sgitsted in Heppner. 1t IL
question that now coHfronts u
aud will continue with greater
force with the growth of the city.
A proper regard for the health Of
the community absolutely requires
the removal Of the refuse which is
impossible 10 keep from sccumu-
la,iug. In al towns where there
are no sever, the sewage which l.
run into cesspools becomes a dan
gerous element From deoomIo-
.itIou il contsminAtes the earth,
air and water aud is 4 disseminA-
tor Of diseAse. The citizens and
ta1psyers Of Heppner, have, with
hardly a dissenting voice. signed a
petition 20 be presented TO the
city council that some action may
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1902-06-12

be taken IN this important matter.
Heppner has never had any sys-
TEN OF sewerage and with the ac-
cumulstion of refuse for many
years, the fact that some action
must he taken in the not far dist
ant future is we'll understood. The
greatest barrier to the successful
operation OF sewers in this city is
the lack Of water, however, from
investigation the theory is prsc-
ticahle and it is claimed that
enough water can be obtained for
= very good system. What seton
will be taken remains to be seen.
1t should be given careful study
for it means large outlay Of
money, but the health of the com
munity is not to be reckoned by
dollars and cents. The design for
a system of sewers will depend
entirely upon local circumstances,
and can be determined after the
people have rendered their de-
cision. The first thing to get at is
the amount OF water supply, for
the amount of sewage per capita
depends largely upon this question.
United States statistics show that
the use of water varies in the diff.
ferent cities from % to l75 gal.
Ions per day per capita and that
the amount used is rapidly in
creasing. In many cases the in
crease has been 100 per cent in 2C
years. If the people of Hepppel
decide to put in sewers, let the
system be substantial and perma.
nent, and provision must be made
for the extension and growth OF
the town. 1t is we'll that tie agi-
tstiop has been started, for it will
culminste in lasting benefit TO the
community. The problem is be,
tore US and it cannot be put aside
for s great length of time. From
the number of signers to the pc
tltion that was circulated this
seek, it would appear that the
citizens are not inclined to put of
this question. Comparatively
speaking, there is very little sick
ness in Heppner. The absence OF
fevers is remarkable, but these
conditions will not always con-
tinue without proper care and dill
gence on the part of the inhabi-
tauts in regard to sanitary en-
vironments. The cost and trouble
of putting in sewers would be
small compared with scouree OF
typhoid or malarial fever.
