great wrath of st. Louis, Mo-, which
, claimed pollution of the Mississippi
| river. Now Chicago is facing the alb
solute necessity of building disposal
beds that shall change its sewage into
the harmless fluid sent out of Biz
mingham and London.
Many Problems Encountered.
The vast size of these great sew
crs especially the disposal of outfall
sewers which carry the main portion
Of all the collected material to the
disposal beds to be refined and have
the germs killed, has made the engi-
neering problems very difficult
The connecting and laying of the
small sewerage pipes which connect
with the individual houses is very
small, although, Of course, the ex-
pense mounts into the millions in great
cities. When city begins to dig into
the very heart of it's streets it finds
conduits and pipes of every sort and
description. And these have been run
through the street beds with little or
no consideration for any possible after
need Of sewer construction.
This great mass Of pipes frequently
checks the work. Again railroad tun-
nels underlie nearly every city of i'm
portance and the sewers cannot possi-
bly, go through them. Yet a sewer
once started has to continue on a de-
cl1nging grade with the proper curves
and proportionate size of piping.
Water. gas, steam and nearly every
other class of pipes can be bent or
twisted as the engineering exigencies
of the problem may demand. but the |
sewer pipes once started must go |
straight. and must go on down
grade, unless pumping stations are in
stalled, which work less satisfactorily
and at far greater expense to the
taxpayers.
Concrete, reinforced where the work
must come near the top of the street

| Is the second method as distinguished
from merely carrying away the sewage
i and letting it run into some big river
| or the ocean.
The storm water problem is always
solved by carrying 1t to some out
lying point of the city's boundaries
and discharging it into a natural
waterbed to continue its road to tide
water at it's own opportunity.
Where the city lies close to some
great and swiftly flowing body of
water engineers have allowed the sew
ers to be directed toward it, and at
various points the polluted material
Is discharged into it and thus swiftly
swept beyond the city's district. Few
cities, however, can do this, which is
the first method mentioned in this ar
ticle.
London, lying on the Thames river,
and not far from the coast of an is
land, cannot discharge it's waste ma
terial into the Thames river, as it
would pollute the stream and cause
disease. All of London's sewerage Is
taken to vast reduction plants on the
banks of the Thames river and there,
by chemical processes, is reduced to
state described as "sludge."
Three enormous tank steamers big as
the average ocean liner, daily carry
off thousands of tons of this sludge
far out to sea, where 1t is dumped
overheard through patent chutes and
allowed to seek the bottom of the
ocean.
Acting discharge of sewage in its nat
ural state into freely flowing deep water
is now practically unheard of in the
case of the big metropolis. Philadel-

Methods Used in Large Cities.
In Paris the French began so long
| ago as 1878, or shortly after the close
of the F'rench-Prussian war, when the
city was badly injured, to take up
the vital matter Of proper sewerage.
The French sewers are the best, be-
cause the simplest and the cheapest.
Being put in when underground rail-
ways, telephone and telegraph wires
and other conduits were little known,
they had the right of way.
The typical Paris sewer Of the big
ger sort is really a conduit on top,
through which all sorts of pipes and
wires are strung. Beneath the pipes
and on top of the sewer itself the
tracks Of the various underground
railways and street car lines have
ben placed. Beneath all this in sort
of false bottom arrangement, the
actual sewage is taken to the Seine
river and thence to the sea-

towns in this country.

population, about $4,000, 600 is to be
