 N. L-YRichards is incensed that the authorities permit property owners in the borough to discharge sewage in to the concrete surface drain which the state built when it made the main road to Sandy Hook part of the state trunk line system. He main tains that the object of the drain was to take care of the surface wa ters alone, and that those who use bit for waste from the toilet and bath rooms well as sinks, Aare endanger- ing the health of the public, and that ] of his family for the outlet of the drain is insshis back yard and close : to the street. Inquiry among resi- dents on this road show that the only sewage going directly into the drafr E is from the railroad station. All the , others have cesspoolss as way sta . tions for the sewage, but these seer l ttheir surplusage into the covered drain after lengthy rains. It looks to many as if the borough will have to face the sewage problem soon. IT
