fully and energetcally performing their duties and
now that the freedmen understand that the work
must be performed they take hold with alaortiy.
Very few seem not to comprehend the import
ance Of guarding against disease, especially the
cholera. The worst localities inhabited by the
freedmen in this city have been cleanssd. por-
ton Of the force at my disposal are ut work on the
Island in the Immediate vicinity Of the river. The
remainder Of the force Is experimenting the
cleansing and whitewashing in the square lying
between and NJ north and Fifteenth and sir
teenth streets west. The sanitary condition OF
this square, excepting the premises fronting on
and Fifteenth streets, Is deplorable. The vacant
lots and alleys are filled with filth. There are sew
eral springs, the waters Of which, flowing through
this filth, produce quagmires, from which emanatt
sckening odors, and which, IL not remedied, will
most certainly engender disease. This accumulation
Of nlth should be removed immediately, and draiI
opened on the east side of Sixteenth street, so con
struoted as to receive and carry away the waite
flowing from these springs.
Tho attention of the Health 0nicer should b,
directed to the condition Of the out-houses con
nected with the tenements In this square. In pros
ecuting this work, an effort Is made in view Of tn
anticipated approach of the cholera to place al
those localities in as good u sanitary condition a
possble but even after this Is done great evils re
main, and can only be removed by tearing doDn tn
miserable tenements occupied by many Of the freed
men, and by scattering the occupants.
On Sixteenth street, Immediately north Of Rhod
Island avenue, there is a pond Of stagnant waite
which should be drained On Sixteenth street
| north Of Rhode Island avenue, on Massachusett
