The State Board of Health being possessed of all the facts connected with our present sewage disposal, called the attention of the Selectmen to a provision of the law of 1886 providing that no town should construct sewers which should terminate in a public stream unless plans of the same had been presented to the State Board of Health for their approval. As a result of this conference with the State Board of Health we learned that they would object to any increase of sewage being deposited in the Ten Mile River, therefore until some other termination of our pres- ent sewage disposal was devised, they would not give . their approval to any extension of our lines of sewers.
Realizing our peculiar situation in the matter of sew- age disposal they were disposed to be as considerate as their duty would permit and render any assistance in their power to relieve us from our present dilenia; but we were admonished to take immediate action towards a change of . sewage deposit for the Town of Attleboroughi.

ANNUAL REPORT.
At the suggestion of the State Board of Health we accordingly filled out a printed form of application to that Board for advice upon this matter.
We advised with W. J. Luther, C. E., and instructed him to make surveys to determine the utility of securing a proper sewage disposal for the town under a more econom- ical system than the one contemplated in the report of a former committee on this subject. Realizing the fact that the business portion of the town is already provided with sewers which convey both sewage and storm water, we have endeavored to devise some way by which, for the immediate future at least, these sewers might be retained as a part of the sewerage system, while the sewage would be discharged upon filter beds instead of into the Ten Mile River as at present.
It will be seen from the report of the State Board of Health herewith appended, that while the location selected for the filter beds meets with the approval of that Board, yet they do not approve of the use of the present sewers but advise, "That sewers for conveying sewage only, be constructed to receive the sewage which is now discharged into the existing storm water sewers."
Any system of sewage for the town other than the present arrangement of discharging into the Ten Mile River will require the pumping of all the sewage, which involves a very considerable annual expense.
If to this be added the laying of new sewers in place of those now in use it will be seen that any change from the present arrangement involves an outlay of a large amount of money.
We respectfully submit the matter for your considera- tion.

ANNUAL REPORT
OFFICE OF STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. STATE HOUSE.
BOSTON, January 27, 1898.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Attleborough :
GENTLEMEN :
The State Board of Health received from you, June 25, 1897, an application for advice with reference to a proposed system of sewerage and sewage disposal for the town of Attleborough, in which you refer to a report and plans made by engineers employed by the town, which you submitted with the application.
The plan first proposed provided for disposing of the sewage from the present sewers in Union and County streets, by pumping the dry weather flow of the County street sewer into the Union street sewer and extending the latter sewer to a tract of low land having an area of about ten acres in the vicinity of the Ten Mile River near Tif- fany street, upon which area it was proposed to dispose of this sewage by filtration. Upon an examination of this land, however, it was found that the soil consisted of a deep layer of loam and subsoil, beneath which the mate- rial was a very fine sand, so that the disposal of any con- siderale quantity of sewage upon this area would be im- practicable and a further plan was then prepared and sub- mitted to the Board on January 1, 1898. By this plan it is proposed to collect the sewage from the Union street and County street sewers, together with other sewage from the district, at a location between the railroad and the river about opposite the end of Manchester street, and to pump the dry weather flow to a proposed filtration area in the vicinity of Tiffany street, adjoining the area already re- ferred to, but situated at a higher elevation.
31
ANNUAL REPORT.
The works now proposed are intended to form a part of a general system of sewerage for the town of Attlebor- ough. One of the essential features of this system is the collection of the sewage from several proposed sewer dis- tricts in the town, by means of sewers converging at the lowest point in each district, from which it is to be pumped into a force main leading to the proposed filtration area near Tiffany street. It is proposed in the beginning to pump only the dry weather flow of the sewers row built, which drain an area which will form a part of District No. I of the proposed plan, to the proposed filtration area, al- lowing the excess of flow of mingled sewage and water at times of rains or thaws to discharge into the river. It is also proposed at first to provide only a limited pump- ing capacity but to construct a force main having a diam- eter of twelve inches which is large enough to provide for removing a much larger quantity of sewage than the dry weather flow of the present sewers, which is thought to be about 150,000 gallons per day, though it is understood that the dry weather flow has not been definitely determined.
The Board has examined the proposed plans and has caused an examination of the land, which it is proposed to use for filtration purposes, to be made by one of its engi- neers and finds that it is well adapted to the purpose, both in its location and in the character of the soil, which is ex- cellent for the disposal of sewage by intermittent filtration, and that the area is of such size as to be capable of provid- ing for the disposal of the sewage of Attleborough for many years in the future.
The rate at which you propose to pump sewage through the force main appears to be so small that deposits are likely to occur in the pipe and cause serious trouble, nor does it appear to be feasible to secure a greater velo-

city through the pipe at any time for flushing purposes. It is very desirable that such a change be made in the plan as will avoid this difficulty.
With regard to the other features of the proposed plan, no details have been submitted showing the proposed method of construction and operation of the force main, storage reservoirs, ejector or pumping stations, or other es- sential features, nor bave plans been submitted showing the proposed systemis of street sewers.
The present sewers, as already stated, receive both sewage and storm water from a large district and it is pro- posed to pump only the dry weather flow of these sewers, allowing the excess at times of storms and thaws to dis- charge into the stream. This is a very objectionable fea- ture of the proposed plan, since if this plan is used a con- siderable quantity of sewage will still be discharged into the stream in times of storms and thaws, and in order to be sure of pumping the maximum dry weather flow of the sewage at all times and avoiding the discharge of sewage under ordinary conditions into the stream, it will be ne- cessary at other times to pump considerable quantities of storm water thus increasing the cost of pumping. More- over. the disposal of the mingled sewage and storm water will require a larger area of filter beds than will be required if sewage only is discharged upon them and there would be more difficulty in disposing of the sewage upon the beds, especially in cold weather. when its temperature is reduced by the admission of storm water.
The information furnished as to the method of con- struction and operation of the proposed system of sewerage for the town of Attleborough is not sufficient to enable the Board to advise as to whether this plan is the most eco- nomical and otherwise appropriate for the town of Attle-
33
ANNUAL REPORT.
borough to adopt. In the opinion of the Board, however. it is very desirable that, whatever plan be adopted, tl. c storm water be kept separate from the sewage in making future extensions, and that sewers for conveying sewage only be constructed to receive the sewage which is now discharged into the existing storm water sewers.
The Board would advise that, before constructing par- tial works as proposed, the whole matter be given further consideration in order that the most feasible and economi- cal plan may be selected, having in view both the present needs and probable future requirements of the town in the matter of sewerage, drainage and sewerage disposal.
By order of the Board,
