Against City by Chicago Concern Which Alleges Ownership of Dis-
 pOsal Tank Process.

Alleging that the septic tank pro- cess of disposing of sewage, such as is now in use by the sewer system of Conway, is covered by a United States patent, the Cameron Septic Tank Company of Chicago last night filed with the city council a claim for S4O5, representing nine per cent of S4, 300, supposed to be an estimate of the cost of the tanks. The claim was filed by Attorney A. L. Barber of this city. It came as quite a surprise to the council, as the use of septic dis posal tanks has been general through out the country for many years and this was the first intimation that their use infringed any patent. As the construction of the sewer system was done by the improvement dis trict board created for that purpose, the claim was referred by the council to the board and it's attorney.
