Sewerage Disposal.
Prof. A. Marston. dean Of engineering in
the Iowa State college at Ames, delivered
an address on the Present Status of
Sewerage Disposal in America" Prof.
Marston told OF the history Of sewerage
construction from the earliest times and
OF the experiments that had been made in
succeeding generations for the best hand
ling of sewrage down to the present time
when IL is generally conceded that the
disposal of garbage and kindred matter is
best done by means OF the septic tank.
He explained this process at some length,
stating that the extension Of the septic
process patents by the coming congress
Will be a matter of the utmost Interest
and importance 20 all American munici-
palities.
Il earnestly call the attention of all
members OF this society to this important
subject" said Prof. Marston. ut is our
duty to see that absolute justice be given
the holders of the septic patent and, on the
other hand, If the septic process should
not, in real justice. be considered patent
able, then it would be perfectly proper Ia
resist the extension by congress Of this
patent. In case the statement which has
boon made is correct that royalties have
not BEEN collected In England for the
patent, It would hardly seem proper for
the United states to extend it's life and
compel American municipalities to stand
attacks not Imposed in the country in which
the patent was originally granted. l can.

FIVE CITIES IN THE CONTEST

That Many Want to Land Convention
for Next Year.
Though Wednesday was the first day OF
the convention. candidates for next years
meeting are busy and are trying their best
to interest the delegates in their respective
cities. There are five candidates for next
years convention so far on the field and
announced, with the seeming probability
that either Montreal or Duluth will be
designated, despite the fact that st. Paul
has the largest delegation in Omaha. Gin
clnnati and Seattle are the other candi-
dates.
Duluth was one of Omaha's strongest
competitors last year, Niagara Falls being
the other candidate at that time. The
New York City delegation has not az yet
made any bid for the big meeting, but
Duluth is here with redoubled energy,
! though with a small delegation. For the
reason that Duluth wanted the convention
this year and was induced to 'lsy down
in favor of Omaha, many Of the delegates
seem TO favor il this year.
st. Paul is not content to let the conVen-
ton go to a sister city in it's own state
and has sent a delegation Of twenty-five
to Omaha with the avowed intention OF
capturing the convention for 1909. Mayor
LAWYER is sick and could not come, but
nearly all the Members of the city council
and several city officials are delegates.
and they began to work as soon as they
saw the welcome" arch across Farnam
street.
In view of the fact that st. Paul Eagles
fought Omaha by fair means and foul al
Seattle when the Gate City secured the
1909 Eagles convention, there seems to be
no overweening desire on the part OF
| Omaha to cast its lot with st. Paul in the
present contest.
This is the twelfth convention OF the
league and all the conventions have been
held in cities in the United States. As the
league is composed OF American munich
palities," Canadian as well as United
states cities, considerable favorable com.
ment on Montreai's candidacy Is heard ir
