FUTURE SEWAGE DISPOSAL.

Councilman McCarten OF Marshall
town made an eminently sensible sug-
gestion the other evening when he ad-
vised the council TO save what 1t can
of the disposal plant. The suggestion
was wise considered as simple econ
omy; there is little sense in permit
ting machinery to rust unheeded. But
1t was also prophetic.
With the great advance in sanitation
and com mon sense prevention Of d.
sease the time Is comparatively near
when no Iowa city will be permitted to
dump sewage into the narrow and
sluggish rivers of the state. At pres
ent Iowa cities located on the principal
streams are growing rapidly. Sewage
disposal for city Of 5000 to 10000 is
a very different proposition than for
cities of $1,000 to 100 900 AS they
grow and continue to Increase the
streams will be choked with poisonous
refuse to a highly dangerous degree.
And the time will come when necessity
VIII join hands with science to abol-
ish the system of of making open sew
ers of the streams.
Marshalltown's attempt at scientific
sewage disposal, while somewhat dis
astrous for sufficient reasons, was not
far in advance of the plan which vii!
be forced upon all iowa cities. Nothing
could be flthier or more conducive to
the spread of disease than the present
plan Of universal river contamination
Iowa rivers are unfit to battle in below
cities and how far that contaminat ion
extends is to be conjectured. When
another decade has doubled popula-
ton the present system will have be-
come a statewide nuisance and public
menace.
