How Would This Do?
During the past season a number of
summer hotels, country residences,
and institutions away from city sew-
age systems have put in Dr. Bryce's
adoption of the septic tank system of
sewerage, and all with most satisfac-
tory results. The most severe test has
been in a pork factory at Brantford,
where the sewage amounts to 15,000
gallons per day. • This is satisfactorily
handled by a system of tiles tinder
about 'three acres of land. Perhaps
the most peculiar adaption of the sep-
tic tank system has been In coonectioe
with certain steatuere on small lakes.
To prevent the pollution of the lakes,
the sewage has been filtered by a sep-
tic taisk in the hold of the steamer.
The tanks worked excellently through
the tourist season without replenish-
ing. These successes suggest the pos-
sibilities of the system for all places
where the ordinary sewer connection
cannot be obtalued.
