THE CITY SEWERAGE,

Tie Board OF Public Works have called |
atter.icn to the necessity of reforming
the present system Of "a sing money to
CO.'S ruct sewers. Ore system contem-
plates the construction OF as many miles
OF sewer annualE as cas be finished in
the working season; to do this work,
money is rsisdd annually by tie sale Of
city bonds, for the ultimate payment OF /
which there Is sinking fuEd raised by
taxation. Thus, in 1861, the construc.
ton OF Sewers was tifiy-thIec Bnd three
fourshs miles, at an expense Of S97i,437,
of which SGSG,277 WAS for sowara, !,
s77.7135 ior cleaning; $145,7l9 for inter-
est; SG3,2o1 fcr sinking furd; and S74,477
for salaries. Il will be seen that up to
that date the inte1cs: on the borrowed
money bad amounted to nearly twenty
five per cent Of the amount expended
for sewers. At the end Of 1865 there
had been constructed Ito miles Of sewers,
at An aggregate cost Of 1886, ,059. or
this sum, f1,053,16 bad btcn expended
for CONSTRUCTION; $l19;57 Tor cleaning;
9t4,4o1 for repairs; ssa5.53U for interes:;
ard SlG9,073.1G ior salaries.
During the twelve years OF the system
