EPIDEMIC FEARED.
Greenvi11e Residents Say
the Brown Place Sewer
Is Broken.
AR sTRONG'S DISCOVERY.
Sewage Emptying Into the
Canal Pollutes the At
mosphere.

The residents of Greenville are alarmed
| over the report that the Brown place sewer
is broken, and that the sewage matter
which ought to flow through it to the New
York Bay is flowing into the Morris Canal.
The Brown place sewer is the main outlet
of the sewerage system of Greenville, and
| every sewer from Woodlawn avenue to the
| Bayonne line connects with it. The main
sewer uns through Bergen place from Gar
field avenue to the New York Bay shore. 1t
| is built of brick and is feet in diameter.
That section of the sewer which crosses the
bed of the Morris Canal is a wooden siphon,
and it is this which is broken. The wooden
sides and top of the siphon have caved in,
and all the sewage matter passes into the
| Canal and flows on to the canal basin in
lower Jersey City.
H BREAK DISCOVERED.
This discovery was made by Major W.
| Armstrong and a number of other citizens
| last week and the Board of Health and Board
| of Street and Water Commissioners have
been notified of the matter. The residents
are talking of having an examination made
of the entire sewer 1t is charged by those
| residents who ought to know that it is in
| very bad shape. 1t is said that the bricks
are already falling apart and that in two
| more years time the walls will begin to
crumbie away. The sewer was built but five
| years ago and cost the Greenville citizens
many thousands OF dollars. While it was in
course of construction charges were frequent
ly made that the work was being improperly
done, and that poor materials were used in
its construction, but no efforts were made to
secure an investigation, and the work was
completed in due time and the citizens had
to foot the bills. Now that the first evil
dence of bad work and poor material is be-
ginning to manifest itself, the property own
ers are taking steps to lave a thorough ex-
animation made of the sewer.
AN EPIDEMIC b
The residents fear that the flowing of the
sewage into the canal will endanger their
health, and they hope that the Health
Board will take prompt action in the mat
ter.
Major Armstrong, when interviewed by a
reporter of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS, said
that the sewer has been broken for over six
months.
"Not one drop of sewage" said he, sshas
passed into the New York Bay during that
time. The water of the canal in the vicinity
of where the break has occurred is as black
as ink and is reeking with filth. The stencil
arising from this water is sickening, and if
the sewer is not repaired shortly an cpl
demic of sickness will break out in this sec
ton. The foul sewage matter passes through
the entire city b way of the canal, and the
situation is serious enough to demand inn
mediate action on che part of the Street and
Water Commissioners"
The property owners on Hooker avenue
and Avenue E, who are within a stones
throw of the sewer, will visit the Street and
Water Commissioners on Monday morning
and demand that the break be repaired at
once.

WILL USE BLOCK SIGNALS.
d., l.. & w. officials Heed the Warm
ing of Ia Late Catastrophe.

The recent disaster of the D., L. & w. R.
r. has set the managers of the road thinking
a great deal, and one good result of that is
the decision made by the directors, at a
meeting held yesterday, to introduce the
block signalling system on the road. The
directors, while they contend that their pres
emit signalling plan is all that could be re-
quired, nave about concluded among them
selves that as an extra precautionary means
the block system should be used.
President Samuel Sloan said to a reporter
that the work of equipping the line with that
system will be begun Immediately.
The company maintains that the disaster
had developed the fact that the accident on
the Meadows was due to the carelessness of
the engineers and others employed on the
train.
At the inquest Superintendent A, Reasoner
declared that the eompany's danger system
is as good as any other.
The system may be in operation inside of a
month
