THAT DEADLY SEWER.

Two weeks have passed since the attention of the
Dock Department was called by residents in the
neighborhood and Jacob Sharp. Of the Twenty-third
Street Railroad Company to the horrible stencil
emitted by tho Twentythird street sewer under the
Erie ferry platform. The escaping gas it is claimed
has caused Sickness and. in cases. death. and
tho Board of Health months ago denounced the
sewer nuisance. The matter referred to
Chief Engineer Green, Of the Dock Department, for
report. He has verbally reported that he is seeking
remedy, but yet he has failed to de-
eide what should be DONE Secretary Lynch
states that it is doubtful whether any relief
could be Obtained by dredging to the north
OF the ferry house. and il that would
abate the nuisance as the Board cannot spend more
than $1,000 on work without advertising for bids,
some time must elapse before the work be
done. 1t had been suggested that possibly the
struction Of "hood" from the mouth of the
sewer to low water mark might abate the nuisance.
and possibly that plan will be tried il the Chief
Engineer finds 1t feasible Again, it is suggested
that q deep hole at the mouth of the sewer. into
which the contents could be deposited. might be
advantageous. but Mr.. Lynch says such dredging
would have to be done by the occupants Of the
ferry house and platform as the department has no
power to drodge on private property 1t is expected
that the Chief Engineer will report fully ut the Dock
Commissioner meeting on Thursday next.
