Mr.. Stetson, on behalf Of the Police Commit |
tee, presented the following report and resolu-
tons, which, on motion of Mr. Sykes, were made
the order of the day for Tuesday next, at eight
o clock, P. NJ:
The Committee on Police, to whom have been
referred sundry petitions against the nuisances
created in Common street, by the City, Veranda
and st. Charles Hotels, and the letters of the
several proprietors of said hotels, beg to report
that they have given the matter a full investi
CATION, and submit the result to the Council
During period of many years, while the hotels
have been in operation, no cause of general COM
plant, that the committee is aware of, has ever
been given by them; on the contrary, the pro-
prietors have always exhibited very commend
able disposition to have their premises kept in
the highest state of cleanliness, and to prevent
as far as practicable, the collection OF accumu-
lation Of any matter or fotid substance which
would cause OF constitute nuisance. As an |
evidence of this fact, the committee are assured,
that volume of water, equal to about 10, 900 |
gallons, is daily run through the various recep-
taoles of refuse matter, to ensure their clean |
illness, and prevent the arising of any unpleas-
ant odor, calculated to engender disagreeable
smells. The committee are also shown that the |
proprietors remove all offal swIll, etc., as fast
as it collects at an annual expense of from $500
to $3.50 per annum each, and in addition, pay |
from $3.50 to $500 for employing privies sinks, |
etc. When this is added to the annual sum Of |
$500 paid for license and tax, the committee |
are led to believe that they contribute pretty |
round sum towards the expenses of the Corpo-
ration This fact, however, the committee are |
fully aware, would not palliate nuisance, but
is merely adduced to show that their annual |
expenses are very materially increased in their
efforts to render their establishments acceptable
to their neighbors
The sluices, it appears, have been opened at
much earlier hours than formerly, and no doubt
