STREET o the Fditor of Tho Chicago Tribunes Bm : On sovoral occasions during the last fow yonxs, your correspondonts have called attontion to the imperfoctions and unploasant emanations of tho sower which omptios into the lake at the foot of Twenty-second stroot. Tt is high timo that the Board of Hoalth shounld do somethiug to romove the objections to this outlet of & largo proportion of the sewerago of the Bouth Side. I hayo lived on Twonty-second streot for fivo yoars, and my practice for nino yeors has beon largely in its vicinity. My obser- vations may, thoreforo be considered of somo value, and mey bo summed up ae follows ¢ First—When the wind {8 in the west, sonth- west, or south, very little odor is observed to coma from the opon mouth of the sewor, or into the houses whoso draing empty into it, or from the sower-oponings at the street-cornors, But the contrary obtains when the wind ia In tho onat, southesst, or north, for, in this caso, the waves aro forced up against tho moutl of tho sewer, and tho wind blows into tho opening, and fordes tho foul sower-gaucs book into tho honses, in spite of the *! traps™ which" are supposed to prevent such an ocourr- ronce. From many and ropeated experiments, I hove demonstrated that, no matter how perfcot tho *“traps” may be, tho gagos pass through tho wator which fills them, and enters every apart- mont with which they communicate, This I Lave obsorved to such au extont that every opan- {ug in the wash-bowls had to be plugged in order to prevent such an ocourronce. cond—1 havo obsorved that, in buildings whero the ‘traps” wore very aefoctive, and at thoso times when tho east, northenst, or north wind provailed for a longer time than ususl, or when the propor precautions for good ventila- tion were noglected, the following results wore obtalned, namely : In the wintor and spring, o decided proyaleuce of typhoid fever, malignant catarrh, diphtheris, malignant scarlating, oto. ; and, in summer and fall, a provalence of chole- ra-morbus, cholora-infantum, dysentory, and various soptic disorders, T'hird—As compared with the stenches which aro wattod from Bridgoport, the Btock Yards, or Calumaot, the foul emangtions from the sowers, outsido or insido our dwellings, are influitoly more dangorous, In fact, Ido not believe that the former odora ever causo, or arc_capablo of causing, any diseass or any discomfort, excepk to the sonso of smell, and possibly on the stom- ach by reflox action alone. “In proof of this, I will ay that, in somoe of tho most palatinl dwoll- ings on the avenucs infocted by sewer-gagos, the residonts suffor almost continuslly from mala~ dies directly duo to such infoction, while thous sands of mon, women, and ohildren live con- stantly in tho stonches of the rendering-estab- lishmonts, and rotain hoalth. Xt is high timo that somothing should be dono to provent this “baoking™ of tho scwer-gases. I am not capablo of propiosing any mothod, It dovolyes upon the Board of Health to consult tho City Engineor upon that point. Common sonse, however, would dictato that tho sower should be oxtonded to gsuch a distance beyond tho breakwator as to bo boyond the influenco of tho wind and waves, if such a result.be possi- Dblo.
