ters of the Broadkiln River. One
portion is to be drained that has
been q menace to the health of the
people is the latent pond between
Magnolia and Broad streets. This
lagoon has become almost land
locked and its surface covered in a
green slime. Time after time the To-
cal authorities have been asked to
drain this place but no action was
ever taken, other than the placing
of small tile under the road on
Magnolia street. This outlet is en-
tlrely too small to carry off the
drainage water and has become
stagnated. 1t is said that the c. c. c.

properly drain the lagoon, clean cut
the main ditch and dig lateral cneS,
thus making this disease menace
and mosquito breeding place sani-
