certainly entitled to relief, for they, more
than all others, have suffered from the
nuisance. Not only their property, but
their health has been injured by the prox.
iminity OF this open sewer, which bears
even the more sinister record of a most
effective man trap.
At the last meeting of the South wash
ington Citizens Association the deter
minaton was expressed to push this mat
ter before Congress, it being understood
that the association would have the active
cooperation OF the Commissioners. But
whether they are thus aided or not, the
South Washingtonians can and will make
strong showing, one that ought to ensure
patient investigation of their complaint
and eventually a favorable consideration
for their request that James Creek canal
be converted into a closed sewer.

Not one OF them has a force as large as the
necessities OF the case demand. In none
OF them can the lawless element be COPIED
with as 1t ought to be. II would seem to
be the obvious duty OF the Commissioners
TO insist upon immediate provision for an
increase of the police force. and not content
themselves with a recommendation for an
increase to take effect with the beginning
of the next fiscal year.

Some Hope for South WASHINGTON.

The perseverance Of the people of South
Washington with reference to the James
Greek canal, bids fair to be rewarded. If
reports may be believed. the Commissioners
have at last arrived at the conclusion that
in its present condition it is dangerous to
health and life-eveu Major Powell no
longer entertains visions as to its COM
mcrcial possibilities-and that the only
proper thing to do with it is to put it out
of sight and out of smell. Some way can
be devised by some skillful engineer to
give it a good flushing out and then it
Will, when archcd. make an excellent
sewer.
II is to be hoped that the Commissioners
are not mistakenly credited with the in
teDtion to request Congressional author
