The Sewage Dispo
United St<
A wrong method of aewage-dia-1
posal ta ao often followed by unfor-J
tentlon la more readily directed to
anitary miademeaaora in this particular
than in fcome other municipal
responsibilities. The creation of offensive
odors in the vicinity of dwellings
and the pollution of public water-supplies
alike are justly visited
by severe condeaanatlon. Outside of
professional students of the sewage
problem, few realise the great strides
mads in the past few years in sewage-disposal.
Not only have Ameri1neat
part In establishing the physical
and biologic principles that must
underlie aU suitable systems of sewage-disposal,
hat in many instances
local authorities have been quick to
apply the moet recent information
and the most modern methods of the
solution of their own local problems.

Methods projected or In use In Worcester,

The large amount of careful planning
