airy TO procure the ice used at the Ar
senal from the Eastern Branch, in the
vicinity Of BuZZard Point. and IL is urged
that the location of night soil pen in the river
there would be most unpleasant, other wise
Probably the best plan that could be adopted
Is that suggested to us by an old and esteemed
citizen, 4. ., TO purchase eight or ten acres OF
land ON the Virginia Shore as place OF depos-
lie, where the soil would speedily be in demand
for manure by Virginia formers.
As the bulk of the population of the Seventh
Ward is west of6th street, place of deposte
on the Virginia Shore would be reached more
readily for most Of the soil than 1t Buzzard's
Point.
