Vater Cp. REPORT OF PRCGHESS BY SAKUEL a CCSfART. The Editor of tbe Freehold Transcript teems to have a chronic ease of Mosquito Dyspepsia. Everything wo, either green or blue in nit eyes. I can account for tbe green, because, as Chairman of the Water and Sewer ha has, sometime in the remote past viewed the rreen seam on the "Slough of Despond'1 in tbe Sew er LhepoeaJ Field, but I cannot ac count for the "blue." la bis report of the first Mosquito Citizens' meeting called by the Board of Health, he says that I wat responsible for most of the discussion, and that "No intelligent direction wat fcvn to the meeting." Now Jie at- tended that meeting and was just at responsible for its "Intelligent Diree- uon- at 1 was.

ana in (act more so. because be receives a very nice salary for killing mosquitoes and looking aiter tne Bewer Disposal tana, and yet he sat in that meeting and never opened his mouth either pro or eon. In hit report of the seeond meet-1 man auU alto proposed most. oralL of all the Undertakers of Freehold. Of all the forty or fifty officials of Free- noia.

only two of tneia, as I recollect, namely Prof. Strahan and Mr. Moreau, of the Water and Sewer Board, were nrenont Rtran Rma of Health, failed to put an ap- nf 1 A P' P- Ta. aocouniiior tneiackor interest of these ofMciala. but I could account for the absence of tne coroners and Undertakers, as they were undoubtedly busy holding pt mortem, and buriaU of the Mc M6reair.

Chairman of tl Wt. er uewer Uoard, attempts to excuse his inexcusable neglect of the Sewer Farm, by claiming that it is now inadequate to take care of the increased sewage, which flows from the town of Freehold. He gays that every twenty-four hoars from 400,000 to 800,000 gallon, of sewage flow down to the Disposal Field, which is far in excess of the capacity of the Field, to take care of it He, therefore, advocate, a change of the svstem. and the in stallation of Sceptic tanks, or some otner system, at an expense of My, $60,009. My answer to this is that he does not know what, he is talking about I contend that the Sewer Farm, if.

properly eared would take care of a town twice the size of Freehold. There are sixteen acres in tbe Farm. Each acre contains 43,560 square feet. Multiply this by sixteen and yon have 696,660 square feet in the drainage area. Divide 400,000 gala by 696,660 square ft and yon will find that only one half a gallon of liquid sewage is deposited on each square foot every twenty -four hours, and divide 600.00J gallons by 696,660 square feet and yon have 86-100 of a gallon of liquid deposited on each square foot every twenty-four hours.

Now any person, witn, eitner none or mule sense, knows that 1-2 a gallon of liquid ewage deposited on sanare loot oi ordinary dry or por ous soil will seep away and disappear in half an hoar instead of requiring twenty-four hours. If anyone doubts this, let him measure on a square toot of ordinarily fallow ground and pour 1-3 a gallon or a full gallon of water or even sewage on it and he can satisfy himself of the truth of what I state. The fault of the Sewer System of Freehold is not in tbe system or in tbe size of tbe Disposal Field, bat in the its care It hv. not Ovkb- Worked bat it is not Workbd enough. On Monday night I went before the Board of Commissioners of Freehold, at its meeting in the Municipal Bldg.

and suggested that part of the trouble at the Disposal Field might be doe to iron ore filling up tbe 3 inch tile ander-drain. in the different plots, hich are about 10 feet anart. and I suggested that if the Board would appoint a committee to go on the field with me and with one or two member, of Marlboro Mudslingers Brigade, we would open np some of these, drain, and see if they were stopped np. I understand, the Board subsequently agreed that tbe mem ber, of the board should act as committee. On Wednesday I went before the Board ot Freeholder, and stated to them that the culvert in Morri.

Avenue, adjoining the Etta Donahay property, obstructed the flow of water in the Wolcott Brook, because it was erected too high above the natural bottom ot the stream, and the Board at once appointed Mr. Ed ward Jeffrie, to examine it and take such meaures as were necessary to lower the culvert so as not to obstruct the stream. I take pleasure in repotting that the Commissioners of Free- bold, or the Water and Sewer Board, have been catting down and burning an the long grass on the Sewer Field. in order to destroy the nest, of moa. 1 tact tor.
