Library Notes

In the current issue of House
hold magazine is an article en-
titled care Tree Roots Choking
Your SeWer?" which should be
of interest to many local people.
The article say in part:
"Clogged sewers can be ex-
pected by almost every home,
particularly those surrounded
by fine old trees. Digging out
and replacing a sewer line is
expensive, whether a connecting
line by the house owner or a
main line to he replaced by
tax payers.
Here's how an ounce of pre-
vention will save a peck of
trouble. Pour two or three
pounds of copper sulphate crys-
tails, better known as blue Wit
riol, into the toilet bowl and
thoroughly flush out. This
flushing is important. A con-
siderable flow of water should
follow the crystals at once to
insure their being carried be-
yond all metal pipes and out
to the clogging tree roots. Cop
per Sulphate will corrode iron
and steel but cannot harm the
clay tile of a sewer line.
"After crystals have been
flushed beyond the basement
walls and into the clay pipe
and entangling tree roots, a low
rate of flow in the line for a
time will favor their action.
Avoid wash day, bath night,
and other times when a lot of
water normally goes down the
drain. Some water is neces-
sary to dissolve the crystals,
but too much will wash them
away.
"Once lodged in the offending
roots, the crystals dissolve,
killing the vegetation. The roots
soon rot off and flush out,
again opening the sewer to full
flow. Don't use copper sulphate
on a sewer that is completely
clogged. There has to be a flow
of water to carry the crystals
to the offending roots, once the
connection is opened with a
rooter or other means, a cop
