SANITARY CONDITION OF CAPE
MAY.

The sanitary condition. Of Cape May is
| in the best possible shape TO be secured
by science, skilled labor, aud large out
lay of money. No city on the Atlantic
coast is better protected against malaria
and the diseases resulting from it than
Cape May. Its water supply is drawn
from the purest and most wholesome
sources, and is inexhaustiLle in quantity
rs it is exceptional in quality. Tie city is
free from all nuisances, and the authori-
| ties are quick to discover and abate any
danger to the health of its resident or
visiting population. The streets are
models of neatneSS and cleanliness, while
the clay Of the land tending to good
natured drainage, has been largely util-
| lied in the very successful system Of sew
erage which purifies the town. The
great hotels are especially constructed
with reference to this necessary sanitary
precaution, sewerage. and water supply
perfect.
improvements are being constantly
made i'll this direction, upon the princi-
pie that "an ounce of prevention is worth
pound OF cure;' the latest work done
being the entire renovation of the Stock
ton Hotel, by the Introduction of over
5000 feet of new iron pipe devoted solely
to the drainage and ventilation of the
great hotel
The new system has been put in place
upon the most approved plans of science
under the supervision of such skilled en-
gineers as Colonel Waring and General
Thayer, and the work done by the equally
skilled mechanics, Messrs. Benezet &
Co., of Cape May. Four large mains,
running from the eighteen inch sewer far
above the roof of the house. convey
away all gases and vapors, while an end
less network of pipes carry to the sewer
the refuse of the kitchen, closets, and
sinks.
TO prevent the injection of sewer-gas,
so fatal to household, not a connection
of the pipe is made without the safe
guard of a trap and in most cases
a double trap makes assurance doubly
| sure.
So carefully has this idea prevailed,
that separates pipes have been provided
for the dish pantry aud the process OF
scrubbing. Every wash-basin has been
fitted up with Bowers glass "trap," and
the closets furnished with Demorest' s
basins, perfect preventives to vile odors
aud noxious gases.
The usual basin in slop- sinks is metal
with porcelain lining. In place of these
which keep wholesome but short time
solid porcelain basins are used, which
can never corrodc.
Surrounding the entire structure is laid
Il continuous drain-pipe to receive the
rain water from the roof which is car
ried directly to and serves to flush the
main sewer.
The soil beneath the kitchen, closets
laundry, and work-rooms of the hote
has been dredged and replaced by about
two feet of dry fresh sand, and over this
the air plays freely, having no sense OF
dampness, much less of stagnant atmos
phere.
The Stockton is to-day the best sewer
ed and ventilated hotel in the country
without any exception, and the improve
ments made rebound greatly to the lib
eral enterprise of the management in Sc
patrons of the house.

NEW YORK WATER SUPPLY.

The commission appointed to devise
means for increasing IKE water supply of
New York city has practically settled
upon the sources of supply and the plans
for storing and bringing abundance of
water to the city. In studying the snb.
ject the commission has had the advan-
tage of consulting the experience of the
most expert civil engineers. and among
them chief engineer of the water board,
Mr.. Robert X. NJ artin, of Baltimore, I'M
der whose supervision the water of the
Gunpowder River has been brought
succeedfully through tunnel by natural
flow to Baltimore. His suggestions ap-
pear to have been valuable, as the plan
followed by him, that of an underground
tunnel and storage reservoirs, has been
adopted by the commission. The plan
decided upon is to gather into 4 great
lake covering 2,655 acres all the water of
the Croton valley by means of a dam at
Quaker Bridge, 142 feet above tide
Starting at the dam and terminating at
High Bridge, in the suburbs of the city
of New York, the length of the afue-
duct will be 26t miles. Its form is to be
circular and of an interior diameter of
from twelve to fifteen feet. This aque-
duct, which is to be constructed in I'M
derground tunnel wherever possible. will
have, it is estimated, the capacity to de-
liver two hundred and fifty millions of
gallons of water per day. 1t will cross
the Harlem river by syphon, constructed
either as tunnel through rock Or of pipes
laid on the river bottom. The Manhat-
tan valley will be crossed by similar
syphon, and thence the supply will flow
to tA.a Central Park reservoir by tunnel.
The gsand lake formed by the dam at
Quaker Bridge will have capacity of
over thirty two thousand million gallons
which of itself would be adequate to
supplying the city with two hundred mil
lions of gallons per day for one hundred
days, without gallon frol.l the natural
| flow of the Croton. The total storage,
including existing reservoirs. will be
forty-six tit"usand million gallons, euili-
cient to keep up 4 daily supply of two
hundred million gallons for two hundred
and thirty days, exclusive of the natural
| flow of the Croton. When this great
work is finished New York will have Il
supply Of water adequate to all its needs
for many years to come. The total cost
of the lake, the dam and the aqueduct is
| estimated at about seventeen millions of
dollars; but it will probably be increased
at least one bird beyond that sum as the
work procceds.-Baltimorc SIN.
