Indian Science Congress
The Indian Science Congress had a very fruitful session this year that was made historic by the presence of a large number of eminent scientists from foreign countries. This international fellowship has gone a long way to remove some of the bitterness that has been growing between Eastern & Western nations. Such cultural contacts are therefore very desirable for the peace of the world. It is regretted that by some clerical oversight our Association was not officially represented at this historic session. But by good fortune one of our members happened to be present there in his individual capacity, and as Chief Engineer of the Public Health Department of the Government of Bengal. He is our President, Mr. P. C. Bose, and we have been favoured with the privilege of publishing in this issue the paper that he read there. The paper describes the development of a drainage & sanitary sewerage system for the Cossipore area in North Calcutta where the population is rapidly growing.
