The disposal plant would be in two units, a separation tank and heating unit, which would sterilize the waste, separate it from the water and restore oxygen to the water.

He explained the groundwork for the system was laid by the about previous administration five years ago and added that the incidence of disease to poor sanitation would indicate that every dollar Invested in first-clas- s sewage system would be gation bonds would be issued making an interest rate of about one percent less than general revenue bonds possible.
