In one instance, in London, an 18-inch drain was carried 400 feet at the back of forty houses, where there was a good supply of water, and it was kept clean. Eobert L. Viele, Esq. , Civil and Topographical Engineer, in a statement in the Senate Committee Report, expresses un- hesitatingly his opinion, that one of the chief causes of mor- tality of the city of New York, "is to be found in the defective drainage of certain districts of the city, and further- more, that this is an evil which is in...creasing as the city extends itself towards the northern portion of the island, and that the main elements by which this evil is increased, are the so-called city improvements, or grading of streets or avenues which are now being carried forward. " Mr. , Viele then describes the intricate topography of the island of New York : " Abrupt ledges of rock, deep and nar- row valleys, sudden upheavals and contortions of the geographi- cal formations, " with a surface varying in elevation from 5 to 150 feet above high-water mark.
