The History of Septic Tanks -TO THE CITIZENS OF CLINTON: In 1905 the first Septic Tanks were installed int Clinton as a temporary measure. Previous to this a few Bathrooms were. served by Cess Pools which soon filled. and ran over the garden causing Odors sand sickness. Septic Tanks took their place as al Kemporary measure. At that time 'Engineer Bryce) of the Ontario Dept. of Health made a survey of the town for a Sewage system but his Estimate at that time seemed prohibitive so the scheme was dropped, Septic Tanks were then frequently installed as there were more Bathrooms. The Tanks were built according to a plan containing a Trap, which is the only type of Tank that functions properly. • . The recent Tanks installed are only Cess Pools and are disease producing. After 5 to 7 years the best of Septic Tanks become plugged requiring lifting and cleaning tile also the ank which costs $10. to $15. In rainy springs the soil refuses to ab- sorb the effluent leaving the seepage on top of the soil. Along the main streets at the rear of the build ,Ings there is not room enough for drainage. The Municipal buildings such as the Public School, The Collegiate, The Hospital and the Hotels cannot provide proper sanitary sewage disposal. After the War the Provincial Did''pt. of Health will insist on proper sewage in town for those institu tions. The great object of the proposed Sewage sys- tem is for better health and better surroundings foli Cur children so that the future generation will not test such a low category as those boys and girls in this present War which revealed as many as 40 per cent, rejects.
