Chemical precipitation. one of the older processes. is rapidly giving way ¢o plain sedimentation and to septic tanks, more generally. the latter. The bacterial processes now coming into general use include the septic tank. contact beds, percolating filters and slow sand filtration. sumo 17431:. The, septic tank. as now «known, has Been developed since 1894. It is. 90 for this purpose. the question is which one to adopt, and what degree of purification is desired? Broad irrigation need not be considered in connection with the sewage purifica- tion works for Bridgeburg, as suit able land for the purpose is not available. The popular conception of sewage, which pictures it .to be a vile mass. indescribable in appearance and color, is gained from the unknown contents of cesspools and improperly con- structed and neglected sewers. Near 13’ all sewage. when fresh. is simply water with about two parts of su- spended matter in 1.000, of ‘Which one-half may be organic matter. It is this one part in one thousand which is to be removed or so changed in character as to be rendered harm- ess. Experiments have shown that “ all sewage purification processes to be successful must be subordinated to the requirements of micro organisms, by whose "agency alone such purifica- tion can be Completed.” This being the case, it becomes evident how di- rectly opposed to nature’s law is any process whose essential features a 6 attempts at sterilization. which would suSpend theagenciee employed to do the work in hand. Sewage swarms with bacteria on gaged in breaking down trganic mat ter into fixed mineral compounds. Organic matter and bacteria always accompany each other. arm as soon as the organic matter .has been re- moved the food of the bacceria is gone, and death comes to them swift ly. It will thus be inlferred that sewage purification processes are val. uable in so far as they change the composition of the organic matter into fixed mineral compounds, The purification of sewage should involve the breaking up and oxidising of or ganic compounds and putrescihle matter present, and transform them into either harmless elements or sta- ble compounds, without any of the ofiensive and injurious consequences which attenfl the natural processes or ordinary spontaneous putrefactive decomposition. And further experience will no doubt. show how better results may be obtained, at less coss. SEWAGE BACTERIA. The greatest. danger from sewage is from the harmful bacteria which it contains. but. shey are not to be dreaded unless they obtain access to the human system; this they rarely do, except through the water supply. The 9bject of The main principles of sewerage construction, aside from dispOSnl works, he” been established for many years, but the best. means of rendering sewage do to be discharged inco bod- ies of water from which public water supplies are taken, is a question of the present, or of very recent date but experienCe has shown than sew- age can be rendered practically harm less. No very definite answer can be giv- en as to what conStitutes the endang- ering of a public water supply, owing to our lack of knowledge regarding the length of time disease germs will live in water. In addition to the question whether sewage is to be treated or not, there isno further queStion as to what degree of purifi- cation is required. and this is also ref to the judgment of the t’rovincial Board of Health. The water supply of the city of Ni- agara Falls" and of many of the resi- dents along the bank of the river be- tween Bridgeburg and Niagara Falls, is that mOSt immediately concerned, but it is not necessary for me to dis- cuss the question of whether the water supply of Niagara Falls or any 1 other place is end :ngered, as the lProvincial Board of Health for Ontar- io has definitely decided not to allow any municipality to empty its crude sewage into any body of fresh Water, and will not now sanction the sewer- age plans of any corporation where no provision is made for installing a disposal plant or se Nage purification works, and, although the sewage from Bridgeburg is infinitesimal com pared with the sewage of Buflalo and other large cities which empty their sewage into Lake Erie. your citizens will be quick to svmpathize with any efiorts made in the direction of sew- age purification and readily appreci- ate the dangers arising from the cou- tamination of your own Water supply. 1 The cardinal principle regarding the final ‘dispcsalof sewage is that no public water supply may be en- danger-ed. The beat available means for the final disposal of your sewage is the most important, part of the whole sewerage problem now under consid- eration. (Niagara Falls Review.) Subjoined is a portion of the report of Mr. George Ross, civil engineer, on a sewerage system for the village of Bridgeburg.

Her 3 scholars on hearing of her resigna- tion, presented her with a beautiful gold bracelet. showing their apprec- iation of their teacher’s kindness and good services while with them.

Holding the sewage in the bed in contact with the bacterial agents gives tne beds their name. _ The relatively large size “of the material composing these beds. and of the interstitial spaces, permits quick filling and emptying. and facil- itates a rapid renewal of the air sup- ply in the free spaces in the bed. This favors a great bacterial deveIOp- ment and a correSpondingly speedy breaking‘down of the organic matter of the sewage. Contact beds are filters in which coarse materials are used; the bottom and sides of the beds are generally composed of concrete or other water- tight material ; the beds are filled with sewage. stand, fuli, are then emptied. and then stand empty. Each of these periods should occupy from 1% to 3 hours. according to the type of sewage to be dealt with, As |a. rule, the filtrate from a coarse- igrained bed is applied to a bed com. posed of finer grain. The coarse beds are called primary. and the fine beds secondary; the terms “single contact” 'and “double contact.” beds are often used. The filtering material in con- tact beds may be hard cinders, coke,‘ broken stone, gravel, etc. The beds‘ are built for operation singly, in pairs! or groups of three; the sewage in the last two cases passing through two or three beds in succession. When built in pairs or groups the coarse material of the primary beds is ap- proximately from three quarters to two inches in diameter, and from a quarter to one mch in diameter for the secondary or fine beds. Should it be decided that the efilu- ent from the septic tank. to be in- stalled by your municipality, must be further purified before being emp- tied into the river. the preferable manner of‘ treating it would be by passing it through contact beds. The tank affluent compared with the crude sewage. will show a purifi- cation of from 60 to 70 per cent., and the filtrate or emuent from contact or filter beds. compared with the crude sewage. will show a purification of from 80 to 95 per cent. The sludge, or matter which settles to the bottom at the tank, should be removed at intervals of a year or less, although in many cases it is a matter of surprise how slight is the accumulation of solid matter that oc- curs in the formot sediment in the tank itself. It.has been shown that the whole of the solid matter in su- spension is, with proper management, capable of liquifaction by biological agency. IA detritfis or grit chamber is gen- erally placed just ahead of the inlet of a septic tank. in order to retain mineral solids, which cannot be acted on by the bacteria, and tlfus liquified. sewage, until it has become more or less liquified and gasified. The sew- age flows in at one end of the tank and out at the other. commonly thmugh submerged inlets and outlets. The tanks are now generally con- structed of concrete. and in cold climates should be‘closed at the top and then capacity should be about equal to the flow of sewage for one day. ' Bunessan.
