Sewage Wells vs. Sewers. ule | Sre,.—I have noted the interesting dis- cussion carried on in your columns with a greal deal ot care. There 18 only one more point about which I should hke to be satis- fied before making up my mind definitely about the matter.

We know that gas of the most horrible kind will form in sewers. I have known diphtheria and typhoid and typhus fevers

to proceed from sewer gas. I have known idreds of lives to be lost on

i ver gas. But 1 question

Mr. Bain in his latest contribution to THe EXAMINER says:

Mr. Bain should not permit his imagin- ation to soar away beyond the facts. ‘*The vilest filth of streets and yards” did not go into any of our comparatively few waste water weils! Fevers were neither as prevalent malignant in Charlottetown in the past autumn as they were in towns in which the ‘‘vilest filth” went into sewers of the most improved description !
