The local Board of Health of Berlin have found it necessary to investigate , cor of conduct pursued in the wicinity of Victoria street, whice proves 0 be a direct menace to the health of ‘ a number of citizens in that locality ad requires immediate action being m for its abolition. When the 4 were constructed a small pipe was laid along side the sewer pipe for +3 l . purpose of draining cellars where ‘ | it is necessary. In not a féw instances _ parties took advantage of this cellar _ @rainage system for the disposal of _ wefuse such as this drain was never inâ€" Ej‘wwmlve, much less to carry caway. The result of such a course is at onee © filthy and â€" reprehensible. A "Fhere are no arrangements constrnctâ€" ed to prevent gases forming in these eellar drains from penetrating into the | mellars of those connected anywhere| along this drain. In many instances the officials found it difficult to locate ‘these trespassers and the probability is that there still are a number that have pot been discovered. No stone will be left unturned by the board to rid the locality of such a menace to the public health. Some members of the Board ‘have expressed themselves as astonishâ€" ‘ed that those entrusted with making these connections should have done so in @a manner rendering it possible to empty refuse into the drains described. It is to be hoped the board will not eease their investigations until they have probed this matter to the bottom, ‘and have the cellar drains appropriâ€" ated solely to the purpose for which they were constructed, namely to carry away surplus water that might _s@coumulate in the cellats along this .drain.
