The chairman pointed ont that there ware 1 ( two systems to consider—the septic tank, I and thej pipe ayst n (Fist, former «v the more aoßtly one, bun £100 would cover the difference. There was also ia addition the question of pumping to bt> provded for in the erne of the septic tank. General -y, be favoured the scheme reeomj mended by Mr Cwthbcrt, which provided for pipes to the riverbed. HOSPITAL SEWAGE. The question of drainage wae then con sidered, Mr Mi«<>n'* report on the subject as a remit of his visit f"f iaapeotioa to the Rospius, vns read as follow;:— Sit — I have the honour to send you here with, report on bow best to dispose of the sewage nf the hospital-—that is, after it baa left the building. The internal economy of the Institution is, as you are aware, under the control of Dr Maogregor, wbo will advise you in raspeot to that very important part. Alter a careful inspection of the ground (surrounding the Hospital, I have come to the conclusion that the plan sug* gested by your surgeon, Dr Trevor. is with out doubt fine beat, viz by means of a teptio tank. This method of treating sewage, bas, at least for email institutions, quite pasaed the experimental Btaga. One thing ia certain »nd that it, that) the system at preaene ia ■is ii very nnsal lilwtory. At Ilia I me of my \ißit, the oeet pit) was overflowing, and a palpable nuisance existed. Against the plats originally submitted by your Board to the Health Department—the carrying of the sewage by meant of irob pipes straight) into the nver—tfaer« are no very grave reasons from a health point of view to offer, but I question if you will find it work weil at all titttas. The point of the proposed outfall is some distance from the water although it is op thabed of fche river. It> would bs neoes sary therefore that you should divert some poition of th« river in 'he direction of the outfall ao that the sewage oould be run straight into the water. You will find, I fear, that this will require constant) super vision owing to the rapid and ectensive changes which take place in thn route of all New Zealaud rivers during times of flood. Then again it is contrary in principle to the present day eanitary science to pour untreated &ewage into any stream I say in principle, because it would not be affirmed that all the potation your institution oould effect on such a river kb the Ashburton oould b« much of a menace to the public health. Should 'yon adopt the septic tank »ystem ♦ here could b** Mttle or no objectioa to your running the effluent into the side channels after proper filtration, because of the very excellent way in wbioh the local authorities flood such channels: Oo the whole there* fore! would respectfully suggest that; the septic taak system bo adopted. The cost would be very little more than that Involved in the pipe sy»t?m, and atauredly it would bo better. There is only 000 point which liwould draw your attention to, that is,— that c»re would have to be exeroited with resptob to fluids containing large quantities of ditiefeoting agents. The principle of the septic tank is an you are aware entirely dependant for its efficacy upon the non' interference in anyway with the rrgani^me>, which destroy the fiscal matters." Disin* feotants such as carbolic acid, farmalin, &o, in strong aolutions wanld undoubtedly interfere with their working capabilities.. The fluid a from the operating room where such substances would be mostly, used, will be but a small quantity, and could easily be disposed of. separately. I have to thank you, Sir, His Worship tha Mayor and Dr Trevor for the great help that was rendered me.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your Obedient Servant. J Mamolm Mason, Chief Health Officer
