NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ECT OF SEWAGE ON SEA 
SHORE. 
. Edward Newton has recently 
: ry Institute the dangers from: the 
lution of the sea by sewage pour- 
d into it. This is a very important 
la iter, in which such cities as Bos- 
on and New York are enormously 
at rested, says the Boston Trans- 
ipt t, for they are both in the con- 
tion of discharging raw sewage 
hto the sea. New York has been 
akened to the seriousness of its 
tion by recent propositions to 
ease the amount discharged into 
bay by the drainage from large 
mas in New Jersey, and at this 
ment is investigating the con- 
tions with a view to improve- 
1er t of them. Boston has appar- 
itly not awakened to the gravity 
the coming problem and the need 
attacking it before it becomes a 
mace. Although in advance of its 
e when the metropolitan system 
Ss constructed, the world has now 
loved beyond the discharge in this 
ay of untreated sewage, and Bos- 
bn should pretty soon be bestirring 
self to make those improvements 
actors from the outflow. Dr. Nor- 
m calls attention to the situation 
ra England and argues that sewage 
ed into the sea results in con- 
imination of the shellfish and. the 
epletion of fish about the coast.
