Hospital Says the
Oregon Journal
riiere the Water Supply is
not Blamed but the Fault
is Placed on a
Sewer
In Portland hospitals now there aro
nlno people afflcltod with typhoid
fever. This, Councilman. Itumolln
says, Is directly attributed to tho un.
Banltary conditions at tho outlet of
tho Johnson creek sower. Ho makes
this statement on authority of soveral
physicians, and repeated. It In open
council session yesterday.
Ho made the assortlon during con
Ridoratlon of a proposal to appropri
ate $3000 to extond tho Johnson cruek
ipwor from its present termination to
Appoint 400 feet further out, whore it
Would empty Into tho rlvor. Thoro
was some opposition to tho proposal.
Tho sower formorly reached tho low
levator mark, but tho dredgers at work
in the river have dumpod dirt along
iho bank until tho land now oxtsnds
about 400 feet beyond tho original
point. The rofuso from tho sower
empties onto tho land and seeps Into
tho river through tho Ulrt. A stream
vas formed, which carries away most
of tho fetid matter, but Its exposuro
to tho air Infects tho vicinity, says
tho councilman. The fever pationts to
whom Mr. Itumolln refers aro men
who wero working in tho mlUs at that
point.
Tho council members Anally agreed
to npproprlato $1100 toward a wooden
(sewor extension, if tho property jgwn
era would mako up tho remainder of
Jho amount needed. City Engineer El
liott estimates that tho wooden sewer
Evill cost $1400, and this leaves $300
for the citizens to pay.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of tho stato
board of health, said today that thcro
was much moro typhoid fever in the
city than was necessary. Ho did not
attempt to explain why, but concluded
that such a condition of improper
newngo might easily tond to a spread
pf tho disease. Portland Journal.
