New Orleans, August d. 1871.
Dr. C. B. White, President Board Of Health:
have to report that al present there is
great neglect in the work of cleaning the
streets in this district.
The cutters in the Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth wards, back OF Greatmen street, are
in a most filthy and neglected condition:
they are now very seldom cleaned or washed
out by the hydrants, where the waterworks
can be used.
The offal is not removed in the rear of She
Ninth Ward, on Congress. St. Claude, Cot
ton Press and Marais streets, and the peo-
pie are compelled to throw their otfal in the
streets or on their lots. In the Seventh
Ward complaints are made by two persons
that the offal is not removed on Derbigny
street, near st. Anthony.
The condition OF the place where the Offal
from the Third District is dumped calls for
immediate remedy. There is a large num-
Der OF dead animals, cats, dogs, etc, thrown
there, and, by their decomposition. pollute
the air for halt mile around. This place
is at the foot of Enghien street. or Lafay-
cite avenue, near Claiborne. 1t was for
merly the custom of the Street Department
to have men at the dumping ground to bury
the dead animals, but this has lately been
stopped.
This is the season of the year when all
efforts at improving the sanitary condition
.@f h. ~ ~ 1a,,a -
should be redoubled II the present state
of things continues, we shall very soon see
the result in an increased mortality.
