Sewers Proposed for the State Pris-
on.
THoMAsToE, July 17.-For a number of
years past DR.. H. c. Levensaler. physician
at the Maine State prison, has recommended
the drainage of the stagnant water from the
prison quarry, and in his last report, after
the introduction of Oyster River water, said
that better system of sewerage was de-
manded and that ample facilities could be
furnished to flush the sewers. Within the
past two years the Governor and Council,
together with Warden Bean and the Prison
Inspectors, have looked this important mat
ter over thoroughly and have seen that this
large body of stagnant water within the
prison walls was highly detrimental to the
sanitary well being of the institution. To-
day committee consisting of Councillors
Hunt and Rand, and DIR. A. G. Young, Sec
retary of State Board of Health, have visited
the prison, and are of the opinion that a
sewer should at once be laid to the river and
the stagnant water drained away. With the
stagnant water in the quarry will be added
all the excreta from the lavatories within
the walls and the filth without, which will
pass into the proposed sewers.
