OBJECTION TO PRIVIES.

All the methods of waste disposal heretofore described are open to the

following objections:

1. They do not take care of kitchen slops and liquid wastes incipient to a

pressure water system.

2. They retain filth for a considerable period of time with probability of

odors and liability of transmission of disease germs.

3. They require more personal attention and care than people generally are

willing to give.

By far the most satisfactory method yet devised of caring for sewage

calls for a supply of water and the flushing away of all wastes as soon

as created through a water-tight sewer to a place where they undergo

treatment and final disposal.
