provements under, way' to make
more room for handling the mail.
The Independence National Bank,
wner of the building, was notified
by the government, that the room
was inadequate for the mail service
it this place, and the bank decided
upon the present improvements
vault formerly used by
- o -
the First National bank, has been
removed materially increasing the
rtnnr Rnace and a new floor has
been put in the entire building.
This gives workiDg floor space for
the postmaster and clerk of 10x30
or 300 square feet, besides a small
lobby space.
Under the new arrangement the
mail can be handled much more
ixpeditiously. The general deliv
ery can now be placed within reach
f the clerk at the wiudow, so that
when mail is called for it can be
landed out without waiting for the

and eight feet deep. The wall and
bottom are of concrete, but the roof
is wood. All the sewerage from
the school, where .000 persons live)
is turned into the tan It., At
the outlet' a stream of clear wai
ter runs continually, and there is
no odor that can be detected. In
side the tank there it only a very
slight odor.
Before this tank was constructed
the sewerage from the school was
permitted to Mow into a gully which
contained a small stream of water
The odor was very offensive; and
the owners of property adjoining
threatened an injunction suit, un
less the nuisance should be abated
The t-ewarage still flows into the
same stream, but after passing
through the Beptic tank. There is
now no cause for complaint and
none is heard. Though this tank has
heen in use about a vear. there is
very little solid deposit in the bot
torn of the tank. '
At the asylum farm the sewerage
was formerly drained into a low
place' into a field near the road
and it became very offensive to the
traveling public. About a year
ago a septic tank was constructed
and all the sewerage was turned in
to it. All that comes out of the
tank is a clear, odorless liquid, and
upon examination it is found that
in a course of a year less than an
inch- of solid matter had accumu-
ated in the bottom of the . tank.
Very little odor can be detected at
the top of the tank when the lid is
removed. Experience with this
tank was so satisfactory that septic
spstems have been built at the re
form Bchool and the blind school.
