A clean city
Water is hardly in movement and there little is used locks. Moreover the occupants throw all cheap goods in water. Fetidness many visitors have spoiled the stay.

A stinking city
Complaints of foreign visitors concerning the fetidness of from Amsterdam ditches have always sounded. Toch it is not this way that the town overning board had no attention for public hygiene. In the oldest inspecting book of the city, from 1413, rules are already given for picking up dirty. To reduce wildplassen one built wooden secretions under the bridges. It were distant predecessors of iron rolling up which does service still as a public toilet.
Those secretions ended up directly in the gracht. Also individuals loosden their detritus preferably in this. That became initially as particularly unpleasant does not experience. Amsterdam still lay to sea, and ebb and rising tide generally ensured a considerable flow of the ditches.
In the course of the centuries names the complaints however. The population grew, the industry rose, and by the stranding of IJ the water in the ditches flowed no longer well by. In the middle of the 19de centuries the nuisance had become thus unbearable.
Demping of the ditches
A radical measure was subduing ditches. That happened for example in the Jordan, where in 1854, change the gold flower ditch in Willemsstraat. Other ditches would follow. But with that the problem had not been remedied, although the municipal authorities layman as a whole of it with difficulty to persuade. Many years’ in front and antagonists concerning the desirability of a sewerage system for the complete city discussed. A plan of town engineer Van Niftrik for such a system did not obtain it. The so-called Liernursysteem were, however, applied after many gebakkelei in some nieuwbouwwijken. It would last still up to 1907 before a proposal in the Council was adopted with which eventually a sewer scheme for the complete city in use could be taken.
