| Nuisances. Randolph Square is com
planned of by many citizens in its vicinity
as nuisance. 1t is full of thistle weeds
and the bloom from them fill the houses 0
the neighborhood, unless the doors ant
windows are kept closed, which is too mucl
to expect this hot weather. Noxious weed
) should not be allowed to grow in vacan
lots in the middle of any city, and are no
allowed in many cities.
This square is the depository, also, of a
the offal and filth of the neghborhood.
should be looked after, and if the owne
will not improve it, and thus abate tn
nuisances complained of, let the city rer
. it, enclose it, and sow it down in oats Q
clover to feed the city mules.
The filthy ditch running through th
vacant lot on Main street, between tirs
Q and Second, although attention has bee
called to it by the JOURNAL, and it ha
been "viewed'' by the police, has not bee
attended to. If we are to preserve I'll
: public health, such ''breeders' should NJ
! be allowed to remain day within OIL
borders.
When Sunday school "lets out" at Il
/ Grace-Street Baptist church, the attendan
: thoughtlessly crowd the sidewalks so thu
> people coming down town to other church'
!. at that time are compelled to push throue
; the crowd by main force, or else leave tt
pavement and take the street for it.
