. Public works . CLEVELAND SEWAOKfor 2,000 feet toward t ilNG .u-kground, and about to build breakwater 70 Icet off shore and till behind it. 550 MUNICIPAL JOURNAL Vol. XXXVII, No. 16. of two longitudinal partitions dividing the tank intothree sections in such a way that the sewage passedhack and forth through the tank three No. 7 was operated as a shallow septic tank for. LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF TANK NO. 5 the first eight months of the tests, after which it wasput out of commission. It was 8x40 feet in plan and 9 feetdeep from the flow line to the bottom of the were three wooden hoppers each 8 feet by 13feet 4 inches in plan and 4 feet 6 inches deep, each hop-per equipped with a sludge drain similar to those intanks 3 and 4. Tank No. 8 is of unusual design, being narrow anddeep at the inlet end and shallow and wide at the out-let. The tank is 40 feet long, and the sides diverge froma width of 4 feet at the inlet to 8 feet at the outletend. The bottom is formed into three concrete hoppers,which are respectively 10, 9 and 8 feet deep below thetlpw line. By this design it was intended to so regu-late the velocity and sludge capacity at different sec-tions of the tank that the sludge would be deposited inan even layer over the bottom of the tank. After the tests were started, inlet and outlet baffleswere placed in tanks 6, 7 and 8, and later
