BAD WATER IN DULUTH.
Or. Sherwin's Report on the Water Sup
piled by Peddlers.
HE SAYS IT IS VERY FILTHY.
Recommendations of the Health Board
miscellaneous noings in the
Zenith City.

DR.. Sherwin has presented his annual
report to the health board. One of the
most interesting things about it is the
declaration that the water carried by
poddlers is unfit for use. On this point
he says: "It will be shown by actual
statistics that we have a healthy city,
and it would be greatly improved If the
water mains were more generally eX-
tended, so that there would be no need
of our citizens using the water from
wells, small streams, springs, and that
carried about the city by watermen for
drinking purposes. The water is not mt
for use, as they get it from shallow
wells on Minnesota point where there
is a collection of filth which has
been accommodating for years from
the hill, as all the debris is
washed down into the lake or bay, which
any one can see or smell Oh warm day
when there is dredge working in the
st. Paul 81 Duluth slip. Then we have
a sewer emptying on the east side of the
point, near where the water peddlers'
wells are situated, which will thoroughly
saturate the shore on the east side of
Minnesota point. The water works
pumping station should be moved
further down the lake, as our water Will
soon become contaminated from the
eastern part of the city. The board
recommended that First and Second
avenues east be graded and guttered,
and also recommended a garbage ere
matory like those in Milwaukee OF Chi
cago. The number of deaths in 1887
was 81, as against 240 in 1886. Five
deaths were from accident.
