Causes of Typhoid Fever.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is hardly necessary to go farther for
causes for typhoid fever than the plumbing
in the government departments, to the eff
fects of which an army of people are ex-
posed. The treasury water closets are a
menace and a disgrace.
Another item: Every tin can emptied of
vegetables or fruit retains more or less Of
its contents. The garbage collectors refuse
to take them, and they are thrown in great
numbers on vacant lots. to breed a pesti-
lerce. What should be done with them?

The Garbage Furnace Question.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The question of the destruction Of gar
be &c in this city during these hot Sep
TENDER days is a very vital one. and the
article in Wednesdays Star from an eye
witness at Atlantic City is not reassuring
to people who do not want i'll odors to be
multiplied among them.I learn that the gar
bage contractor is negotiating for the pur-
cha Sc of ground on Rock creek, within two
squares of Pennsylvania avenue. 1 write to
ask whether there is any protection posi-
BILE for property owners in this thickly set
tied ne;Shborhood? 1. Is surmised that
water front Is necessary in case the crema-
tory falls to do the work expected of it
properly, in which case the ground will be
used for dumping ground for garbage and
dead animals-in which event the place will
become an intolerable nuisance. The place
selected is doubtless very convenient for
the garbage contractor, but surely other
considerations should outweigh this in the
mir ds of our honorable Commissioners Of
the District. My neighbors and have pro-
tested against their approving this site for
such nuisance. If no satisfactory place
can be found within the city limits, where
there are few residents, the crematories
should be located outside those limits, where
houses are not built up so closely, and where
the lives of men, women and more particu-
larly the numerous children in the neigh
borhood, will not be endangered.
