SANITARY INSPECTORS WORK.
His Report Upon Food Produce and
Other Matters.

OSASA A4abbeI5'
Inspector Desvergers, of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report of in
speotions for the week ending last night.
says in reference to food produce in the
market that dressed meats of all kinds kept
up q good average in quality during the
entire week; also poultry, both dressed and
alive; picked beef. picked tongues, picked
pigs feet, corned beef, sausages and meat
buildings; fish, crabs, prewn, shrimps,
oysters and clans averaged good; also green
vegetables and tropical fruits.
The inspector. in reporting as to other
sanitary matters, says that the need Of IN
inspector of plum bing work In Savannah is
becoming more and more manifest as the
city grows and extends sewer pipes. The
health Of the inha bitants is not only Insl@
aced by the danger OF sewer gas escaping
from defective water fixtures inside of their
dwellings, but by that which escapes from
the rain water leaders under or in near
proximity to the windows of their sleeping
rooms through the spertures eaten into the
pipe by sewer gas.
Ia dwellings which have water fixtures
these leaders, in most instances, are con-
nected with the sewers, and being con-
structed OF light tin soon become honey
combed by the sewer gas which passes up
through them instead of being forced
through the water seals in the traps and
bowls Of the wash basins, water closets, etc.,
IL the premises.
The inspector reports that privy vaults
are increasing with the increased erection
Of dwellings south of Anderson street.
Many Of these vaults are already sur
charged, and in an unsanitary condition,
and the atmosphere south of the city is be-
coming dangerously contaminated with
foul emsnations from them, and much of
it will be brought by the south winds, W hich
prevail in summer, into the very heart Of
the city.

Facts About the Dutch-Gap Canal.
=, H. I-l.f... 4. 1o nfernfch

To The Editor of he Dispatch;
Please inform subscriber if the Dutch
Gap canal is used by the Richmond and
Norfolk and other boats; also, II any part
Of the national appropriation Is used In
dredging, widening. ETC., the same.
WYLLIEsBuRG, VA. D. ID. ID.
The Dutch-Gap canal is used by all
classes of vessels coming TO this port.
The bend cut of. about Ave miles long,
is much shallower than before the cut was
made, aud has not been used by any class
Of vessels for several years. and could not
be at mean low tide by vessels drawing
more than five feet OF water.
The cut made by General Butler in aid
of military operations was not completed
so as to be nayigable in the ordinary sense
of that term, and. it was closed by the
owner OF the land. BY causeway, shortly
after the end Of the war.
The great freshet of 1870 reopened the
cut, and it was then widened and deepened
by the United States, under the appro-
priation for the improvement of James
river"
In 1874 the cut was from lis to $50 feet
wide at the water surface. with about IA
feet depth at mean low tide, but 1t was
rarely used by the heavier class OF vessels.
1t has several times since been enlarged
and deepened, and is now $50 feet wide at
the narrowest point and Is feet deep. A
slide took place from the north side in
1889, which was partly removed in lSs9'9l
and the remainder is now being dredged,
and when removed the width of the cut
will be from $50 to 800 feet. with the depth
last mentioned. The length of the cut
between lines of 10 feet depth. above and
below the cut, was 500 feet.
With unimportant exceptions all the ex.
cayations since the war have been done by
the United States as a part Of the improve
ment of the James river.

happened TO get on their plantations and
