OLD CREEK SEWER
hENACES CLERKS
IN CENSUS OFFICE
Director North Asks Com
miSSiOnerS to Have
1t Filled Up.

Director S. n D. North, of the Cen
sus once. has written a letter 70 the
commissioners calling their attention to
the fact that the promise TO MI in the
old Ilber creek sewer. which runs across
the square on which the Office Is To-
Gated. had not been lived up 20 and he
urges that some steps be taken in the
matter in order to safeguard the health
OF the several hundred employees The
communication has been referred 70 the
Sewer Department for consideration.
Mr. North does not say that the health
Of the employees Of his Office has already
been impaired. but he states that an OBJ
noXious gas escapes from the sewer and
he deems II incumbent upon him 10 take
every precaution in the matter. The
foul gas is especially strong when the
tide OF the canal and river back up into
the sewer. Mr.. North and Chief Clerk
Ward say that If the sewer was filed
I'm as the Commissioners contracted TO
do when they constructed the sewer this
nuisance and menace would be removed.
Mr.. Ward made a personal investiga-
tiOn Of the sewer when the gas was
first detected, He says he found that
the sewer wall Is feet wide. and the
bricks are laid in cement At present
IT is as solid as granite. but it is a
question OF conjecture how long 1t viii
remain so II the dirty water and gas
remain IN il day and night
The attention Of the Census officials
was first brought TO the sewer By Thorn

the sewer was responsible for the al
legged prevalence OF rats and snakes In

timated that the rodents which infested
the office came from nearby stable

With Mrs. Carter when she arrived at

II was learned that the license which
was used for the purpose of the cere-
mony was obtained by Mr. Payne, and
gave Mrs. Carter's maiden name as
Caroline Louise Dudley, and the age
of the actress as thirty. 1t stated that
she had not been married before.
As matter Of fact. Mrs. Carter has
been married before TO Leslie Carte. OF
Chicago, from whom she was divorced
in 1880. She has a son. Dudley. by this
