While the REGISTER is mentioning a
few matters for the consideration of the
city council, 1t may not be amiss to refer
to the water holes and marshy places In
south and west parts of town. After
every rain these places are in such con
dition that they are great incoDven-
ience to the residents Of the town, and
remain in that way so long that they
endanger health. The fact is OF course
recognized that tho question Of perfect
drainage in this locality is difiicnlt one,
but that is no reason why 1t should not be
tackeled. An experiment that might be
made at n trifiing expense. and no harm
done il not successful, is to cut through
the upper or impervious stratum of soil
in these low places 1t will then prob
ably be found that the lower stratum is
porous. II that is the case and it is not
low enough to be already full of water
from other sources, the hole cut through
the impervious soil will allow this sur
face wstes to escape and an inexpensive
and effectual system Of drainage would
be established. II this should not work
it will be necessary to expend come
money in surface or tile drainage. 1t is
certainly the duty Of our city fathers to
permit nothing to remain in our midst
that is not only source OF great annoy
ance and inconvenience but is absolutely
dangerous to the health Of our citizens,
