For abont six years the Board of Health han been agitating this matter with Council Now that the new corporation .owns the land east of Madison avenue, they do not, naturally, want the sewage to be dumped upon their land, and would not feel like developing it, if the same condition of affairs is to exist. This matter was discussed this week on the visit of Cs|>lain,Edwards. It is proposed to lay amain sewer from town, west to the Delaware Bay, and pump it' by means of two intermediate pumping stations and one at a crib in the bay, at a point wber v there will be. a strong current to carry
