The sewer should not be too large. The walls sbonld be smooth. Up to a size of about eighteen inches glazgd earthenware pipe is the best material known. Brick follows earthenware, and stone is the least v.ilnable. A good outfall is absolutely necessary. The contents shonld be "taken away from the Outfalls as rapidly as they collect.
