dumped into lower new york bay and it is only a matter of several years before the harbor will be unable to receive it all through jamaica bay there is a great deal of oyster raiding in spite of the board of health and these oysters filled with quite a volume of filth are sold to the unsuspect ing public this water is also used by many for pleasure purposes such as bathing and boating and it should undoubtedly be kept free from filth '' this problem was greatly com plicated by politics so that not until 1912 was its solution really attempted in that year a board of apportionment was appointed by the borough of brooklyn which appropriated 4,000,000 for a sew age disposal plant to be erected in the twenty-sixth ward 50,000 of this was to be spent in experiment ing to solve any problems that might arise the problem of the twenty-sixth ward was only a minor problem of the second bor ough of a great city the disposal of sewage is di vided into two parts the prelimi nary treatment and the oxidation treatment or the sprinkling treat ment the preliminary treatment consists in passing the sewage through large imhoffi tanks which are made up of two compartments in the first of these sedimentation occurs the solid matter settles out and slides down into the second or digestion compartment the sludge remains here for two or three hours where it becomes di gested by means of bacteria until it is less in quantity and less of fensive in quality the oxidation treatment con sists in passing the sewage into the imhoff tanks where the solid material is removed and then dis charging it as a milky liquid on the filter beds five minutes later it apears at the bottom of the filter as a clear liquid the filters con sist of a pile of stones covered with a thin film the film soakes up the sewage like a sponge and the water continued on fifth page short college meeting held in packer hall h j heuchel 19 elected assis tant manager of football honor system discussed a
