Report Of The Metropolitan Sewerage Commissioners Upon A High Level Gravity Sewer

Excerpt from Report of the Metropolitan Sewerage Commissioners Upon a High-Level Gravity Sewer for the Relief of the Charles and Neponset River Valleys, 1899 Mr. Joseph P. Davis of New York, consulting engineer, was engaged by this Board to advise in relation to the subject matter of this report. Mr. Davis has been for many years familiar with the great municipal works of the metropolitan districts of Boston and New York. He was city engineer of Boston for several years, and in that capacity designed its sys tem of main drainage. He was consulting engineer for the State Board of Health during their investigations for the north metropolitan sewerage system. Mr. H. W. Clark, chemical expert of the State Board of Health, and in charge of the experiment station at Lawrence, was engaged by this Board to examine into the physical and chemical conditions resulting from the discharge of sewage at Moon and Deer islands, and to determine the probable effect of discharging the sewage of the south metropolitan system into the harbor at Moon Island, or elsewhere.
