THE article by our fellow-citizen, James 
Taylor, Esq., on ‘¢Our City Sewerage,” in 
the Journal of Jan. 8th, was a plain, prac- 
tical paper, full of excellent suggestions and 
worthy of the careful consideration of the 
City Council and of all property owners put- 
ting drain pipes into their houses. 
It is conceded by the best medical author- 
ities that disease is bred and fostered in 
an atmosphere poisoned by sewer gases, and 
we cannot be too careful to avoid them.
