The River Flats Nuisance.
MEASURES OF RELIKF.

On Saturday Major Twining, engineer COM
mission er, and DR.. TOwnshend, the health off,
Ger, made tour Of inspection along the river
front and on the flats, with view OF giving the
place a thorough examination and adopting
some means to preserve the public health.
First OF all, they examined the decks on the
Washington channel and found that consider
able amount OF the green scum had washed
over from the flats and lodged about the docks.
1t was found that there was another great nuf-
sance hitherto overlooked, viz: Focal matter
from privies located at the shore end OF the
docks, where there is not water enough to float
1t off, and there it lies breeding disease. When
they got out to the flats they found that the
storm Of the previous night had done much
towards abating the nuisance, some OF it having
been washed Off. There was but little else on
the flats below the bridge than vegetable mat
ter. but this Is regarded as exceedingly danger
GUS to the public health. and the authorities
have decided that 1t shall be raked down to the
channel, where 1t will be fioated OIL. After ex-
aiming below the bridge, they proceeded
above TO the mouth OF the 18th street sewer,
and found that sewage matter was mixed With
the scum there, increasing as they neared the
mouth Of the sewer. They determined that
the proper means at once to remedy this NUS
ance was to open channel to the Georgetown
channel, where the contents may be discharged
In deem water.

Editor Star: - occasionally complaints are
made In the newspapers that millions OF dollars
are lost to the Post Omce department by wash
ing and re- using postage stamps. I haye long
doubted the correctness OF the statement, and
believed that much of the supposed loss comes
from the reuse OF unwashed stamps-postage
stamps which have never been cancelled at
either the mailing or delivery Office. So. to-
day. having received letter With stamp on 1t
as neat and clean as the day it was issued or
placed on the letter, was led to examine some
files OF letters kept In the original envelopes
Out Of sixty letters examined the stamps on

each, ard one as If slightly dirty finger or
OF the sixty would be passed at any post Office
