Physicians Say that 1t Ought to be
fiiled Up.
Quite number OF physicians were inter
viewed yesterday by the MORNING NEWS
on the sanitary condition of the Ogeec go
canal, and the general opinion is that it is
not only source of malaria, but should be
abandoned. One physician said that 1t is
receptacle for dead animal matter, and
there is more or less decayed vege able mat
ter which uader the rays of the sul gives
off malaria.
The physician remarked that of late be
has not been pracCicing so much on that
side of the city, but when he did be found the
canal fruitful source Of malarial fevers aud

Another physician, who has given the
subject much udy, and who is thoroughly
acquainted with the miasmatic character OF
the canal, thinks that it would be a feasible
plan to rain the canal N rth of the water
shed INTO Musgrove creek, at the nearest
juncture. and fill up all that part of the
canal north Of the junction Of the canal
and Musgrove creek. hen remove the
locks and dams south Of the water shed and
let the canal drain into the Ogeechee river.

physicians to whom II was mentioned One
of them said il would undoubtedly solve the
