The sewer department is required to
see at once that all sewer basins, etc.,
are cleaned out and put in order at
once, and the water puryeyor is ordered
to make thorough inspections and see
that all streets not yet repaved are
graded and put in such shape that water
can not accumulate in them. The SUI
perIntendent of markets has received
equally stringent orders to look after
the cleanliness of the markets. Acting
Commissioner Dalton sent all order to
Supt. Roberts this morning directing
him to see that everything in the power
or the department is done to see that
the streets and sewers of the city are
placed i'll thoroughly satisfactory COLI
dition, and all garbage IN particular re-
moved.
1t is suggested that in the densely
populated districts the cutters should be
flushed at least once in every twenty
four hours, and additional means of
prevention taken. In Brooklyn the au-
thorties are taking unusual precau-
tions. Not satisfied with prohibiting
the landing of rags from Europe, the
cargoes already stored according to
