The Madl.op-street Grade.
To The Editor of ne Dispatch.

To ne EdNOr or me DfsDdtch:
congratulate myself and my fellow
sufferers on the appearance OF your edito-
rial this morning on the now famous Main
and Madison-street grade. 1t betokens an
interest in the matter which is very en-
couraging TO US.
Our Street Committee has laid the mat
ter on the table " indefinitely" but. like
well-known ghost. it won't stay laid. !"
The grievance IS too great. The city must
meet the issue. Tenants are refusing to
pay rent and are moving out, leaving this
otherwise valuable property idle on the
hands of the owners.
The City Attorney gave an opinion TO
the Street COMMITTEES to the effect that
the city had done nothing to cause the
choking of the sewers and the consequent
flooding of private property, and was not,
therefore. responsible for IL.
The attack on the city in this matter is
on different ground. Inasmuch as the
city has undertaken TO make O grade-or
grad-s-it should make correct ones.
Grades that slope four ways 10 q given
point, at which no adequate outlet for the
water Is nor can be provided, are not cor
rect. This error is the city's, and II can
not escape the responsibility. The error
was made when Cary street was raised.
This ravine was the natural outlet for
the water which falls on quite large area.
and this outlet was stopped mp when Cary
street was filed up. Cary street, in its
present status. is dam obstructing the
natural flow OF the water, backing the water
on private property. which IL damaged
thereby. II is thus nuisance which
should be abated. No one is allowed by
law to throw dam across stream and
destroy the property OF his upstream
neighbor by back-water without paying
damages This is just what the city has
done. and is the ground OF our complaint
We ask your kind assistance in keeping
the matter alive until the nuisance Is
abated
Respectfully, FLoon.

ty seems to state that its origin IS due

Some bar-keepers claim that IL Is quite

Please let US bear from you, as your au.
thority generally predominates in matters
of opinion. J.E
Cholera-germs In liquid are, like other
plants, killed il the liquid is subjected TO
heat sufficiently great aud prolonged. But
this does not imply that the LIQUID cannot
become reintected, for If by any chance
the germs should reach it again, they may
again grow and multiply. Hence the in
junction to use liquids which have been
recently boiled. If beer has been prepared
and preserved in accordance with these
principles. it is a safe drink as far as germs
are concerned II cannot, however, be re-
commended as a substitute for water,
owing to the injurious effects of the alco-
hol which it contains. AS beverage in
cholera times recently boiled water is bet
ter than beer in every way; it is cheaper,
and has oil of the advantages of beer, with
none of its disadvantages.

King and Queens Direct Tax.

To he Editor of the Dispatch
Did King and Queen county, Va. pay the
direct tax? If not. why not? In list
that appeared in the DISPATCH OF the coun-
ties that paid the tax it was stated that
four counties that paid the tax had not
been named. Will you kindly name the
four counties StB5CRIBHR.
King and Queen county paid no direct
tax; at least there is none shown as paid
on the handbook for that county, which is
in the Treasury Department at Washing
ton.
We know of no reason why the tax was
collected in only forty-nine counties in the
State, but 1t is said that in many instances
the collectors made no attempt 10 collect
it, and in others il is claimed that the tax
was collected but not turned into the
Treasury. We cannot say whether these
reports are true.
The published statement was not that
four, but that forty-nine counties failed to
pay.
