glance at the death notices appearing daily In the
HERALD will show that the mortality is proportionatcy
much larger among those who reside the lower part
OF Harlem the upper part OF yorkvilc than any
other section OF the city.
The heath officials are sadly puzzled as to the
cause OF this frightui mortality, aud the Sanitary
Committee OF the Health Board has tried for
some time to solve the problem, bu. in vain.
Had tho committee studied the maps OF the Dock
Comm ssioncrs together with those the Police Com.
mssiohers and the Croton Water Department, they
would have very hit the nail on the head The
upper portion Of Manhattan Island Is drained on the
east side by huge sewers running ongitudinaily
through the avenues Two large outlets lead into the
East aud Harlem rivers One Of them the loot OF
Eighty street and the other at the foot OF 10th
Through the latter outlet all the Nth Of Harlem

decrccd otherwise: for they have caused be erected
directly in front vi the outlet al the foot OF East 10Th
street, a dumping board and the Police Commissioners
have alternative but TO direct all the ashes and garb

ward be brought thitncr TO be into THIS
dumping board which reaches from the top Of tho
rtringpiccc TO directly the opening Is
tended to prevent the refuse from falling INTO the river
opening 10 block up the outlet In this way a
sort OF dam Is formed, which prevents the fed sub
stances gathered IN the sewer from being washed out
with the tide, This dam, which few days ago was
rakcd up by some cnterprising youths contained
several dead cats. ruass OF old rags, interlaced
with cabbage stalks potato peeIngs and such ike
scented materials. No doubt all this stun has
travelled up and down the sewer half dozen times, IL
