The Evening Star. PUBLISHED DAILY AT FOUR P.M. Resurrexi. THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1881.
It may be quite unnecessary to tell householders inconvenienced by the flood of Saturday night to clear their dwellings and premises from the water and mud deposited; yet, that even a greater calamity may not follow, we wish to direct attention to a view of the matter beyond this purely personal one. We allude to the effect upon the health of the community from the decayed vegetable matter brought with the water, and which if allowed to remain in back yards and gardens may in further decomposing give off gases injurious to health. There is, therefore, the greater necessity for a thorough cleaning up to take place, for even if all that can be taken away is removed, . sufficient will remain under houses and places where it caunot be got at to cause inconvenience. The local authorities have offered to supply carbolic acid and chloride of lime to all applying for such, and we would recommend householders to use quantities in and about their premises. The use of such disinfectants cannot do any harm, and may do a great deal of good.
