Sewer Ventilation.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I was very favorably impressed with the suggestion in the COURIER lately, from our worthy and ingenious citizen, MT. W. L. Ev- crit. that our sewers can be ventilated by connecting them with the hues of the tail chimneys of our factories. This can be done. it is said, at trifing expense. As the chim. neys give us smoke, to our discomfort, can they not compensate by ventilating our sew CTS for our health? I think the proprietors would most gladly do this, for they andltheir operatives mostly reside in the city. I see that a company composed of our Heading are about to erect tall chimney on George street. Would it not be well for them to Head off ;" in this matter?
 We are all of one opinion in regard to the benefit that would accrue from ventilating the sewers. With such ventilation going on the year round, with the ''rock'' dust we'll laid in the mornings of the hot, dry with less theater (opera?) going, and with other good habits, we might attain the maximum of health and longevity. Ventila- ton of the sewers is a matter of vital i'm portance. Cannot some attention be given to this work, and, if the plan promises well, immediate action be taken? D. A. TYLER.

 Commissioners German and Van Cott yes- terday morning had conference with Chief Bates and his assistant, Charles O. Shay, as to the report of the commissioner of public works that there is short supply of water President German stated that this was vir- tually notice to them that in the event of a great confagration the department of public works would be unable to respond to the demand of the fire department for water. He suggested that, under the circumstances, Assistant Chief Shay, who is in charge of the corps of sappers and miners, should at once confer with the Lafiin X Rand Pow der company as to the supply of powder they have subject to the call of the depart ment, it's location and the time necessary to get it to the points of danger. It was also suggested by him that the sappers and min CTS should be called together for instruction in the rules in cases of emergency and drill The President added that if the firemen could not obtain sufficient water they would be compelled to blow buildings down with powder to prevent the spread of the flames. After various suggestions had been made by Mir. Van Cott, Chief Bates and others it was agreed that before any final action be taken President German should call upon Commis- sioner Thompson and have a conference with him on the subject.

Some interesting returns are published of the passenger traffic on the railroads in Eng 1and and Wales. From them it appears that in 1880 the number of passengers carried was almost 541 millions, of whom 32 millions were first-class, 5S millions second-class and 451 millions third-class. Even this is exclusive of season ticket passengers, of whom there were 1,2s0, 366, and whose trips must have numbered between three and four hundred millions more. Thus the gross number of passengers carried in one year must have been nearly thirty i've times as many as the entire population. A surprising feature about these returns is the increase of third class passengers. In 1850 the third class pas sengers were only four times as many as the first class; and the first and second class to- gether outnumbered the third In 1860 the number of passengers in the several classes was, by millions. first, IT second, 43 {; third, IT. In 1870 it was first, 2S; second, 6S; third, 199. In the last ten years there has been an addition of only sixty per cent to the first class; a decrease of fourteen per cent in the second; and an increase. of one hun dred and twenty six per cent. in the third. The sum of the first and second-class passen- gers was less by several millions in 1880 than in 1870, while the increase in third-class was more than 25O millions. In the same decade the number of season-ticket holders was more than doubled
