4 TOUCHING APPEAL.

To his Honor the mayor and Board of Health:
We have watched with much interest the
filling up of the pond opposite Rutledge ave-
nue.. Dead cats, dogs, &C., have contributed
much to the deposits. So much 80 that we
feared at oBe time 1t would become nuis-
ance to the whole neighborhood. But we
we're glad to see these covered up speedily
and securely by good earth, 80 that when the
work was completed these putrld animal re-
mains would become Inert.
The work for some reason or other has been
suspended just before II has reached the
causeway, and If 1t be allowed to rest there
the stencil must necessarily ooze out and be-
come iDsupportable TO the neghborhood, and
II sickness does not follow, lt will be because
bad smells cannot produce 1t. But With many
persons, particularly ladies, bad smells will
produce often serious results, such as fainting,
entire loss Of appetite, and all the evils that
result from constant nervous Irritation and
want Of food. We hope, therefore, as the
chief municipal officer, that notwithstanding
your other labors for the good and prosperity
OF the clly, which you have carried out with
the zeal and perseverance, of one who has the
real good ofthe city at heart, and as chairman
of the Board of Health, you will have this
work completed, and prevent the evil which
will certainly follow II 1t ia allowed to remalE
