An Open Drain that Ought to be Covered


One of the places that demands the atten-
ton of the city authorities most imperatively,
is the drain that smpties into the river a
short distance below the Journal Office
Originally this was covered with cedar sleep
ers and buried beneath several feet of earth
and coal ashes, thus preventing those who
lived and worked in the vicinity of it from
experiencing any annoyance from it. The
spring freshets backing into the drain, how
ever, have thrown OF the sleepers which
formerly covered it, so that it is now ex-
posed for long distance, and the stencil
which arises from it these hot days is simply
uncomfortable and exceedingly dangerous to
the health of the neighborhood The
odor from this place is strong all along the
the health officer has been called to it and af-
ter very careful examination he has pro-
nounced it a positive nuisance and dangerous
to the health of the community. The sewer
age of quite large area reaches the river
through this drain and it certainly should be
attended to. 1t should have a
granite covering clear to the river
firm enough and heavy enough to resist the
action of the spring freshets. If the city
fathers could sit in any building in the
neighborhood with open windows these warm
days and take in the miasma from this drain
for about five minutes, we feel confident that
they would pass vote to cover that cesspool
before adjourning. The entire water front
from Bridge street to the foot of Rines hill
has come to be altogether too much Of a
dumping ground for decaying fruit and
other garbage. The result, so close to
Water street, is extremely bad The worse
place on the river. however, lis the open drain,
and we, in company with many of our neigh
bors, will express the hope that some action
will soon be taken there, SO that people who
breath in the masma from the place may
stand some chance of reaching if not old age.
at least middle life.

in the city. There are great many valuable
remedies in the list and have no doubt
many of them have accomplished much good
Or course there are frauds-lots of them
but no more probably than in other depart
ments of life"
How do you account for the large amount
of money made in this business"
''Simply by the one word-.advertising. =
ANY man who puts thought and study onto
skillful advertising can make it pay provided
he has a meritorious article.

tie more of the public patronage than any of
my competitors and came out at the close of
the year with good profit where many had

one merchant builds up a larger and larger
business, while another has hard pull to
scrape through and eventually ends in
failure"
