In that report the engineer pointed out clearlyzgthe View of the Provincial Board of Health, who are determined not to permit of the disposal of sewage in its crude state into any stream or body of fresh water. \Ve notice since that the town of Shelbnrne is making provision for a sewage system, and the last issue of the Economist of that town gives the “Report of the Engin- eers on Sewage System for Shelburne.” From this report we clip such extracts as may be of general interest andé therefore applicable to our own town.

Domestic sewage (;(.)11tains numerous elements which, if allowed to flow dir- ect into the streams of the district, will pollute the waters and possibly give rise to disease in addition to forming a nuisance. Many different methods of treatment have been tried. such as mechanical filtration, chemical precipitation, and broad irrigation or sewage farming, the main object sought being to prevent putrefaction of the sewage. It is only within very recent years that sanitarians have come to understand that sewage con- tains within itself all the necessary agents for its own purification, and that these previous efforts were all working to retard nature’s own pro- cesses. The agents referred to are minute living organisms known as The main advantages of the separate system are then :â€"â€"(1) Cleanliness; (2) cheapness; (3) provision for disposal. ' lation is a fairly well known quantity. land with a system properly designed Efor this quantity no fouling of the sewers will occur, as the pipes are run-‘ ning partially filled all the time. Furthermore, the Provincial Board of Health now demands a certain amount of purification of the off flow before allowing it to discharge into the neigh- boring streams, and’ as a matter of economy it is desirable to treat only the sewage which requires purification. In general it may be said that storm water does not require to be treated to prevent pollution of the streams. Hence it is desirable to separate it from the domestic sewage which must undergo purification. The separate system provides one pipe to carry the house sewage only, and a second where necessary to carry off surface drainage and roof water. .‘gk viii THE DURHAM CHRONICLE A quiet wedding was solemnized on \Vednesday, the 10th inst., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. "\Vm.

They would ratherwear out five dollars worth of shoe leather hunting after a stray horse, than pay fifty cents to the Chronicle for an ad. that would save time, trouble and worry.

Like a sensi- ble man he goes right to the Chronicle Office and puts in a little ad. and then goes into a safe retreat to avoid the rush. Last week be advertised two properties in town and the ink was hardly dry on the paper when Hardy Dean came along and bought a Gara- fraxa street lot from him. That little ad. did the trick.
