deep water. He highly approved of Mr. Clark's plan of an 

 Automatic Flushing Tank. This would secure a regular peri- 

 odical flushing, the outlet pipe could be cleaned by natural 

 means, as by showers. Mr. Clark's plan secured the cleansing 

 of it by artificial means. Mr. Tully then referred to Mr. 

 Miller's method of deodorizing the sewers. From what he 

 had seen of it he thought that it was very practicable. The 

 substances required could be procured in Devonshire, England. 



Dr. Canniff referred to the saying that Doctors always differ, 

 but the differences among Engineers surpass any thing among 

 doctors. He asked whether there was not great danger of 

 the contamination of the water from the Sewage as it passes 

 along. 



Mr. Tully thought that on the whole the proposal before 

 the people was the correct one, and hoped that the By-law 

 would pass. 



Mr. Macdougall gave an explanation of the system in use in 

 England. 



Mr. Harvey asked whether the separate system with steel 

 pipes in use in Europe could not be introduced here. 



Mr. Macdougall said the difficulty would be in the great 

 cost of it.
