THE GARAGE NUISANCE CoNsIDEgED-THE
MANURE LEAP AT THE FOOT or STE STREET
PAVING or ALLEYs-NIGHT SOIL, &C.
At meeting Of the board eff health last night,
Dr. Bliss, from the sanitary committee, to whom
was referred the M0Ore's ste&lite lined pipe for
examination, reported favorably on it, merits.
Also, a. acting health officer, he reported one
case of smallpox on the Marlboro road. two
miles from Good Hope Hill. He stated that
numerous complaints had been received from
citizens of the neglect of the garbage collectors
10 perform their duty, and also of the rude con-
duct OF several of them. The SUI erinteGdent
had done his best TO organize this branch Of the
sanitary system, but il seemed impossible TO get
the garbage men to call regularly at houses. he
thought Il advisable to consult with the Gov
eTnor aud get his views upon this subject.
Dr. Cox thought the best wav was 20 give cut
the job by contract to some responsible man.
Mr. MarbuTy thought the present plan the
best, provided they could employ reliable and
responsible men 70 execute the work. The con-
tract system had been tried in other cities, and
did not work well. In Boston this substance is
carried twelve miles into the county At cost of
s5oO,Ooo annually, and in New YORK. il costs the
CITY upwards of one million Of dollars annually.
No action was taken.
Mr.. MaThnry asked il anything had been done
IN relation 10 the removal of the manure bank
at the foot of 9Th street.
DIR. Bliss said that he had attendeite that
matter and found thatit was impossible at pres
ent to remove u, in consequence OF the paving
OF Water street, which was now being done; the
street at present all being torn up. 1t would
take two weeks to complete the street at this
point. He had seen Mr.. Pettibone the owner
OF the manure, and expressed himself anxious to
remove the heap "a soon as il was practicable te
do so.
DR.. Bliss stated that he had held conference
with the board of public works in relation to
the plan discussed 0y the board some time since
OF paving the alleys Of this city with concrete;
that the plan was received with favor and that
they would put the plan into operation be-
fore the coming winter.
Mr.. j. Hamblett, jr., of Boston, N ass, upon
invitation Of the board, explained the workings
OF his magnetic electric alphabetical dial tele-
graph, one of which the board decided to pur-
chase for the purpose of connecting police
headquarters with the ONCE OF tie Board OF
health.
DIR. Bliss reported that the contractors for the
removal OF night soil had selected a site for the
deposit of the soil on the Maryland shore of the
Potomac, and that the committee had examined
the location, and found IL not liable to iniure
me health OF any one, as 1t was Tar from any.
