The ‘condition of this filthy canal has tomy knowledge been the-cause of much sickness in the vicinity. I would suggest that the flume be continued from North Temple to Second North and this much of the canal filled up. This can be done with little expense and will afford great relief to the people as well as to abate a great nuisance.
