A gentleman whose fa: ters connected with th rity with all mat improvement of the harbor of Washington entitles his opinions and | suggestions to the respectful consideration of those Interested, sends us the following commu- | nication on this important subject: A writer in THE STAR Of the 2d of October, while justly complaining of the condition of tie sewerage of our city, has been led, inadvertent- | ly perhaps, into making a statement Veys an incorrect idea of the eff hich con- “tof the Gredging operations now in progress tn the | ne channel of the river above the Long bridge.

What- ever may be the nature of the raiasm, it isa well- known fact that Arlington Heights, Observatory Hill, the Arsenal and the borders of the Poto- mae in the vicinity, are subject, during the au- tmn, to certain types of remitient fever. This fever, as well as some injury to the uavization, the writer, above mentioned, tiinks will be in- creased by the present improvement.
