A GRAVE NUISANCE TO BE ABArED.-The
result of the filling in by the Railroad Com
pany Of the west end of China Slough will
be to leave few square rods of stagnant
and pestilence breeding water at the south of
the filling, and lying between the rear of
Fairchild's premises and Second street, and
Immediately behind the Chinese quarters on
the north side of I street. The water shut
off by the extension Of Third street across
the slough had become very unwholeseme
prior 70 resuming the present work of raising
the surface to the grade, and since the waSer
was disturbed by dumping in the sand strong
unhealthy smell has continued to greet the
workrnen, much to their annoyance. As the
filing advanced, in order to let the water es-
cape, a cut was made through the Third
street extension across the slough and since
then. as the grading was extended, the water
ran through the cut into the eastern slough.
The railroad company only have control to
the center of the alley, or where the alley
should be. running between Second and
Third-half a block to the north OF l street
and the company is therefore only filing to
that point but in carrying the grade along
that line it will reach as far south
as the north end of the Fairchild
rookery, on Third-street grade. and which
closes with an embankmeat the opening
for water to the main slough, and leaves the
filthy, stagnant basin, as above mentioned.
The water in this cesspool IS already por
ton OF it covered with a green purifying
scum, nearly half an inch in thickness, and
contains all the elements for producing
prolific diseases or epidemic scourge. The
Board Of Health and Health Officer have
already had the matter under consideration,
and viii promptly require that the basin be
filed in with earth sufficient to raise it above
the present surface of the water, to prevent
serious and fatal effects to health resulting
from it.
