A GAS HOUSE NUISANCE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Knowing your readiness to protect the public
interests, take the liberty of writing these few
lines to call your attention a great Nuisance to
which the inhabitants OF the Eighteenth ward have
had to submit for the last two weeks. 1t appears
that the New York or the Manhattan Gas Company
which has gas houses in the neighborhood, empties
their refuse into the main sewer; and twice every
twenty-four hours, with high tide. all the houses
particularly from Sixteenth to Twenty second
street, are infested with such an insunerab
stencil arising thereirom, that 1t will soon be i'm
possible to remain there unless this nuisance be
done away with The Board OF Health has been
notified several times OF It, but that body
seems to be sleeping. About sixty persons called
yesterday at the Manhattan Gas Company s
complaining, among them even one OF their d.
rectors. This company states that it is not at
fault, but that the Ammonia Works, in connection
with tie New York Gas Company, are the cause OF
.he trouble, which the Manhattan is endeavor-
ing TO find out. Now, II seems to me that we
have to su1er enough OF these gas companies as
they charge enormously for miserable gas,
which seems to ny through the burners and
meters without giving much light, but swell up
the monthly bills to double and treble to what
thew were formerly. III this new nuisance con-
tinHes much longer people Will be obliged to leave
that part Of the city altogether, as the servants
Already refuse to stay longer on that account VIII
you not wake up the Board OF Health, and give
publication to this in your papers To you Will be
due the the thanks Of the people, and particularly
those ora A SUBSCRIBER.
