Methods of Disposal

"Various methods have been de-

which have been found lunsatisfac-
tory, on account of the character of
the soil In other instances large

flcient elevation to give good drainage
so there will be no accumulation OF
subsoil water, offers ideal conditions
for building septic or sedimentation
tanks and filter beds.
The topography and geological

as to make it an eminently suitable

Adequate Drainage system.
THE sub-irrigation water must be
taken care of. AS recommended by
Mr.. WILDER. Deputy Health Officer,
the city should have adequate drain
age system to take care of the sub
irrigation water, and this drainage
system should be entirely separate
from and independent of the sewer
system. The pipes of this drainage
system of necessity would have to be
constructed in an opposite manner to
the sewer system. In other words
the pipes should be porous enough to
freely drain the subsoil In planning
and building new sewer system,
the future growth and needs of the
city should be kept in mind. The
questions of paving and muncipal

Sewage Disposal.

Granted that We have satisfac-

duty does not end with their con-
structiCn. The next question is,
What are we going to do with our
sewage" So far in discussions re-
lating to sewers, apparently no
thought has been taken Tegarding
the disposal of our sewage with ref
crence to the towns on the river be-
low us. We seem to think that when
We have dumped our fresh sewage
into the Yakima river that all re-
sponsibility is there ended. No at
tempt whatever is made at purifica-
ton, and the towns taking their wa

are compelled to drink our sewage.
Visits have been made to some OF the
slaughter houses. and to the outlets
of the two sewers.

lists in the minds and imagination of
people who have heard only these

would be be kept busy writing on
the death certificates as the cause of
death, Typhoid Fever 1t is re-
lief to know that these reports are

of our sanitation.

or even half century ago there
might be some excuse for city the

Use of Septic Tanks

"In beginning the use OF septic
tanks some time is required to obtain
the best results. as it takes weeks or
even months for them TO "rtpcn,
that is, for the destructive bacteria to
become sufficiently active n large
percentage of the matter in suspen-
sion is liauefed in the tanks by the
action of anacrobc bacteria and the
amount of solid matter, or sludse re-
naming is surprisingly small. TINS
is shown by the fact that in cities
where the tanks have been in con-
slant operation, they have had TO be
cleaned, that is. have had the sludsc
removed. only three times in chit
years. Sludge disposal is really the
most difficult problem to solve, as the
sludge is hard to handle, is not read
lily burned, and its manurial value IS
low.
when the sewage has been acted
upon in the septic tanks the ethucht
is ready for distribution over inter
beds to be further decomposed by the
action Of aerobic bacteria. after
which it is in a condition to be dis
charged into the river without belhs

required for filter bed is greater than
that required for septic tanks and the
surface must be high enough above
