EXAMINING THE CANAL.
Capt. Lusk Considering Measures for
Cleaning Out the Trench.

At a meeting of citizens Of Georgetown last
night steps were taken to call the attention Of
the health officer to the condition of the canal
bed and Of Water street, which threatens the
health Of the community.
Capt. Lusk. Of the engineer department Of
the District, started out this morning to make
an examination of that part of the
canal bed lying in Georgetown
and for the purpose Of ascertaining
the number Of sewer outlets. Capt. Lusk
thinks that the accumulated filth can be re-
moved by making temporary dana across the
first break in this level. causing the stream Of
of water which flows through the break
now to run through the level further
this way thereby clearing the bed of any objec-
tionable accumulation. He was Of the opinion
that nothing would be done for several days at
least. To-day Water street was cleared and put
in good order.
