Dr. Cox, from the committeee on epidemics, stated that during his absence from this city he bad conversed with many of the prominent sani- tarians of the country on the subject of epide- mic and was convinced that in no other city had their been any more efficient measures taken to ent the spread of such diseases than in this city. He was mach gratified to learn that the operations of this board had been jatched with interest by the sanitary men all over the country, and with whom he had conversed had spoken approvingly of the work done here. He had also conversed with eminent medical men upon the bags sm of the cholera, and had read letters from loscow showing that y the proper precautio sanitary measures the virulence of this disease had been materially checked.

FOUL ALLEYS. Dr. Verdi read @ written report of a tour of ine) m he had recently made of the alleys in this city and Georgetown, and finds that in all cases surface dramage is used for the filth that percolates into the soil. The alleys are enerally the repositories of garbage from the fitchen, manure heaps from the stables, dri: pongs from bath-houses, — dirty rds, leaky prives and filth ‘of every ~ con- ceivable nature. In some of them are erected chep dwellings for poor people, some o: whom are two ignorant or too poor to pay at tention to the laws of health, and who add their share to the obnoxious substances which mulate in the alleys. The cleauing of alleys, sithough earnestly attemy by the board of public works, is and must be a tailare unless it ie dove daily, which would cost the ci a half mitlion doll, er aun ey ® P should have a sewer and ev: compelled to connect therewith. be paved with a smooth hard pave present cobbie-stone pavemcnt being worse than useless, since it allows the filth to be absorbed and retained.
