MARKET NUISANCES.
South Street 70 Be Rsformsd-rhs vsssy Street
Dump-Fruit DsalsrS Appeal for Space
In Fulton xarkst-Nuisaness
Through tho City.

The dsh and fruit stand nuisances along South
street. between Beekman street and Peck slip, arc
to 70 down before the sanitary crowbar on Satur-
day night, unless their owners sooner take them
away. These stands have long added to the terrors
OF the sidewalk on that thronged route as well a.
fostered the creation OF smells not agreeable to
nostrils at all susceptible. Such nulsances can
well be spared by the community. which has ex,
pressed much surprise that they were suffered
to 0utlive their companions, which were joined to
the market. Persistent use OF brooms, hoes and
Croton water has at last removed the nauseous de-
posts under the market booths Still there Is sani-
tary work to be done In relayng and repairing the
rough and broken pavements ana tagging, and In
regulating the CUTTERS so that the water draining
nom the market may ind its way into the sewers,
without first collecting in pools to ferment and in
feet the air. TWO telegraphic poles OF unusual SOLID
ny sttll stand where were lately the outwOrks OF
the booths, rod or so into Fulton and Beekman
ssreess at south street. These should be removed,
as tney are mucn IN the way or vehicles and South
street should be widened by reannexing the space
conquered from the fruitmen and coffee venders.
Catnar1ne Market Is marked for reform. Prob.
ably at the next meeting or the Health Board its
nuisances VIII be reported on by DR.. James, VINO
less recommend similar clearing as that at Fulton
Market Besides covering and obstructing the
gutter. dealer In oysters and refreshments has
here built quite commodious store plump out into
South street. making street obstruction of unri-
vailed proportions AS squatter he has been sue.
cess The Board will likely ask him to move on.
ABOUT WASHINGTON MARKET.
In VeBey street, between Greenwich and Wash.
ington the curbstOne butchers and few other
equally enterprising merchants presented their
steaks and other tempting barg ains on the outer
edge OF the walk IN contempt OF the recent order OF
the police to clear out 1t requires constant
watchlulpess by the officers on post to keep this
prominent approach to the market sufficiently
clear 80 that lady can comfortably carry her
basket without being rudey jOstled on the way.
Paviers Of the Department OF Public Works were
yesterday patching up the gaps and filling the CULTS
In the Fulton street pavements. Carpenters were
open by the saws Of the sanitarans No prepare
ton is yet made for the ventilation advised by Dr.
Judson and Architect Pfetner, nor was there any
too pleasant flavor to the cir In that part OF the
shanty devoted to butter and cheese in which, for
the sake OF making these articles appear rich
and burn gas all day. For all this the people en-
ployed here look fat and robust, and deaths among
them are counted scarce. The funeral OF one
prominent marhetman, Mr.. Thomas p. Way, was
attended by large deputatlon OF marketmen
yesterday.
Work is steadily progressing on the offensive
dump adjoining West Washington Market on the
Vesey street pier. Nearly all the old dock ttmbers
have been removed, and the spiles are at hand TO
drive for the new bulkhead, which VIII form the
this the Dock Commissioners propose to place
tight house for the dumping process, which
they think can thus be made inofen.
slve. A contrary opinion Is held by
the Board OF Health and by the dealers in the mar
ket, who have suffered long enough from this in
be hoped that the Board OF Health will succeed in
dlverting this sickening business from coming into
such immediate contact with the food Of the whole
OF New York and its suburbs.
