rendered impossible, blocks OF ice, re-
sembliug broken stone in appearance,
being piled on both sides of the street

washington Sewage.

Mayor Pafi and CITY Attorney Booihe
have addressed letters TO Congressman
Rixey protesting against the placing of
the outlet of the Washington sewer at a
mint near the Bellevue magazine wharf,
On the MARYLAND side of the river, a
short distance north OF the city of Alex
andria. and have suggested that the
sewer be continued about three miles
south of Jenes's point. Col. Biddle,
Engineer Commissioner. however, has
approved a report OF acting Superinten-
dent OF Sewers Phillips, stating that
Alexandria need have no apprehension
as to the pollution Of the river by the
discharge of the Washington outfall
sewer above the city. and, further, that
to extend this outfsll below the city
would mean an outlay of millions OF DOL
lars, from which neither city would be
benefited.
Mayor Paf, City Engineer Dunn,
Health Officer German aud City Attorney
Boothe went to Washington today ana
had an interview with Senator Martin
10 regard to the construction OF ihe
sewer. With the Senator they appeared
before Commissioner Biddle and laid the
matter before him, stating that II the
sewer was constructed as proposed the
maximum of the pollution oil the rlyer
would be Just of Alexandria. The in
teryiew with Col. Biddle was rather un-
satisfactory as that officer held that the
sewage would not be injurious to Alex
andria unless the water was used Tor
drinking purposes. :,
He also held that as Congress had
fixed the site for the outlet of the sewer,
that settled the matter with him. As
the navy department has raised 90,
lection to the sewer outlet being liked
near the naval magazine wharf, the
Alexandrians went to Mr.. Rixey and
asked him to take the matter up with
that department.. Both Senator Martin
and Congressman Rixey promised to 90
all in their power in the interest OF the
people of Alexandria.
