( The following information comoo
to us from the Territorial Depart

The treatment cf domestic sewage
in a septic tank, followed by dis
posal of the efflu-nt in a drain
age system laid beneath the surface
of the ground, solves vary accep

to a community sewer system. The
plan and section of a septic tank

should have tight joints* Either
cast iron or vitrified clay pipe

cleaned at least once r year. The
cover is made in sections and is
removable for cleaning the tank,
