set mad, and they respectfully but
earnestly suggest that something def
mite be done right away.
The sewer in question starts in the
vicninity of Ohio and South Broad
way, and ends at the yacht ferry land
ing at Fink street It drains the reg
ion covered by South Broadway,
South Penn, Fink, Elm, and generally
all of that territory between South
Broadway, Vermont and Elizabeth
streets, the population being approx
mately one thousand. 1t is crock
sewer, originally imperfectly laid, and
has chronic disposit on to get clog
ged up. Possibly two hundred water
closets drain into it, and the result
can be imagined. In the winter res
idents try to stand the effluvia from
the sewer openings on the streets; in
the summer they plug them up with
carpet, and the male portion of the
families swear softly to themselves.
Recently several cases of diphtheria
have appeared along the line of this
SEWER, and one death has resulted.
The B. p. w. is trying to loosen the
sewer UP by digging a couple of holes
four feet square and poking things
into the pipe, but some more radical
measure is demanded, notably a good
flushing by the fire department, and
a liberal use of lime, a few barrels of
copperas, and other disinfectants in
liberal doses. Will somebody take
this gentle hint?
