SYSTEM DIsAPPROVED.
Better Method Of Dtsposing Of Sewer
age Required,


The District Commissioners have disan-
proved the sewage disposal system which
has been introduced into the property of
Mrs. A. L. Barber, Mount Alto" on the
west side of Wisconsin avenue, and have
ordered the supply of Potomac water shut
off, Robert I. Fleming wrote to the Com
missioners lately requesting that a permit
be granted for temporary sewage dis
posal system for this property, on which
is located an old frame house which he
said would be removed in a few years.
After preliminary report from the plumb
ing Office the papers were referred to the
health office for an opinion as to whether
or not the proposed system would consti-
suite nuisance DR.. Woodward reported
An inspection of the premises referred
to shows that system for the disposal of
the drainage of this house has been in
stalled, and this is presumably the one
which the within application undertakes
to describe. Inquiry shows. too, that the
wastes from nine or ten people are ex-
pected to be provided for by it. Appar-
emily. too. the drain pipe is connected to
the downSpouts Of the building The di-
rection of surface drainage at the point Of
discharge is toward adjoining property,
and in view of the probable amount of
drainage in rather close proximity to 1t, /
am of the opinion that the existing sewage
disposal system on the premises described
herein will constitute a nuisance and a
menace to public health. I recommend
that an investigation be made to determine
whether the construction of this system
was or was not in violation of law, and,
if So that the proper action be taken to
secure the punishment of the responsible
parties. I recommend further that the
applicant in this case be requested to
state whether the sewage disposal system
now existing on the premises described in
his application is the one for the MAIN
tenance of which permission is now sought,
and that, if he admits such is the case, his
application be rejected"
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, has reported that
in order that the plumber might be paid for
his work the plumbing in this house was
recently inspected and passed by the plumb
ing Office, with the understanding that the
same would not be used or water turned
on until system of sewage disposal had
been approved.
1.-THE plumbing certificate was limited"
says Capt. Harding, Ito the plumbing with
in the house. Potomac water was intro
duced In the premises in 1896, but hereto
FORE I am informed, the water facilities
were limited to yard hydrant. 1t now
appears that notwithstanding the condi-
was issued, the usual application was
made at the water registrars Office to
have the water turned on, as has been done
every year when the premises were occu-
pied. I concur in the recommendation of
the health officer that the accompanying
plan for sewage disposal be disapproved,
and I recommend that the water be turned
off and the applicant be informed that 1t
will not again be turned until an ac-
ceptable sewage disposal system is sub
mitted, approved and installed"
