THE FERTIL1ZIN0 FACTORY,

|
Judge Farwell, Of tho Circuit Court, yesterday
rendered Judgment in the caao pending betwoon
| the town of Hyde Park and tho Northwestern
Fortilizlng Company ut Mnsworth, andhas n'ado
tho injunction against tho interference by Hyde
park perpetual. Judge Farwell's doolsion will
bo road with interont. It rostn upon soycral
grounds, including, substantially, that tho re-
moTal of this ofal Is matter Of public necossi-
ty, and tint tho Inv. recognizing this necessity,
has created this corporation to nako that ro-
moval. OF course, tho Company rests Under tho
legal obligation to prosecute itB business 40 a. to
render tho sams as iits1o offensive as possible,
and, to do this, must tnko every precautton and
adopt orery known monns.
This decision settloa this matter for tho pref
ons. It secures to the packers, for tho two or
thrco woeko that aro loft Of thoir season, tho
means Of gotting rid Of tlcir refuse matter. But,
nevertheless, something has got to bo done to
protect the public against this nuisance. It il
claimed that much has alroady been dono, sinco
this Fertilizing Company began business, to re-
ducs the eflluvfa and tho decomposition Of mat
tor. sclf-intereat has pointed out that, In tho
o1act proportion OF the stonch that escapes from
their works, they aro losing thoso clements
which constitute tho great value Of tho fertilizer
prodnood by them. Thry Aava, t},arafore, OK
perimontod, aud produced machinery whereby
thoy now secure from oncape a largo per-
centnge Of the ammonia that has heretofore
been loat and that thcir product, tho fertil-
izer, has been thereby 80 greatly improved that
1t aclls now for doub1o tho price and far moro
readily than 1t did before. Having made such
progress in the acientiho handling of this matter
Us to havo already made the manufacture Of tho
blood portion wholly inodoroua, and greatly
diminished tho ofensiyeneBs Of the other part,
1t is not to be assumed that the limit Of improves
ment has yet boon reached. On tho contrary 1t
ia claimed by tho pac1ors that the machinery has
been perfected, and III now In successful opora-
tion In this city, whereby ali tho blood and ofral
Of BlAughter-houHe can be manufactured aa
fast as 1t accumulatas and that tho process is 80
free from odor that no person is In tho least
conscious Of any oncnsiye ameu. Thia inyon-
tlon Waa not sufficiently operated and tested until
too late In tho soaBon to admit Of it's general
adoption by tho packere, but there il 3 general
purpose to employ 1t next aeason. Eacn packer
then will manufacture all the refaao OF his own |
establishment, snd will do 70 without offence.
II theae things can be done aa stated, and tho
bupinosa Of manufacturing offal can be rendered |
as inoirensiyo to public health or comfort a. cnn
any other business, then, Of course, all objoo-
tons to it will ceaao. But ii all this should not
prove true, or the Company and others engaged |
in It should fail to adopt all the means and ap-
pllsncez offered them for carrying on an inof-
fensfvo businesH, then tho mar begun BY the
people Of Hyde Park will be removed, and will |
be kept up in some form until tho right to |
breathe free and unpoiaoned mir shall be ostab-
1ishcd.
