VERY RAD STATE oI- ,T7v,rDS
LONDON, Sept. 27.-The Times CORE
spondent from Hamburg says: 1.-THE
cisterns are chOked with solid matter. In
fact, the chain Of pollution grows with
every link. The water in the river is
cleaner than that in the Water-works:
there is cleaner water in the Water-WOrks
than in the mains, and that in the mains
is clearer than in the houses. The only
one thing wanted was to provide for the
entrance of cholera poison into the water
system. This was arranged. The in
take is so situated that at flood tide the
matter from the sewage outtalls can
reach it. In Hamburg the house sewage
runs out at the basement and in again at
the root, after little tour of the river and
the waterworks. This criminal state of
things has been notorious for fifteen or
twenty years. New water-works were
planned, but little else. They are not
likely to be completed for two years
Whether they will be effective is a cues
ton for engineers. but the fact stands.
Altoona is in worse position with regard
to sewage, but has escaped the scourge by
virtue OF having power water works.

tiles, but the question whether it should
be made compulsory to report every case,
or only when cases become numerous,
was left open.
