Years to Come
EDITORIAL

A RE we building Seattle for day? Or are we
n laying the foundations for permanent metro
polls of the Northwest?
That is the only question behind the matter of
Lake Washington sewage disposal that now confronts
the city council
City Engineer Blackwell has recommended APP
preparation Of $4,000 for new septic tank at the
point where the Oregon st. sewer empties into the
lake.
Three of these septic tanks already have been
pleted. Thirteen additional tanks would have to be
constructed to eliminate the sewage that now flows
directly into the lake.
Under the septic tank system refuse would have
to be drawn off, dried, and carted away every time
the tanks are filled. Needless to say this will be
obnoxious to thousands of people ine these rapidly
filling up residential districts along the lake.
Mr.. Blackwell chooses the septic tank system be-
necessary for all the sewers, he estimates, will be
$S63,662
And yet at a cost of only little more than twice
as much-S1 10000 is the estimated fgure-an in

front with pumps installed at five key points to pump
this sewage over Beacon Hill and empty it into Puget
Sound.
