days ago a lady complained to him OF
n bad odor which she thought came
from, the vicinity of the slaughter
houses near Second and Tatnall streets.
He reported this complaint to Chief of
Police Brady, who investigated the
matter, and ascertained that the odor
complained of had arisen from the
bone mill, and had been abated by the
removal from the establishment of 4
large quantity Of bones. The men,
bers from the First Ward were in
structed to. look after this matter.
Mr.. Kennedy, from the Eighth
Ward, reported the complaint of one
of his ncighbors, in regard to the i'm
purities in the Brandywine water.
DR.. Draper made the suggestion that
the mill owners along the Brandywine
be requested to notify the Water De
partment when the water Is low in the
creek, and to then empty their watts,
that no water may then be pumped
into the basin while it is in an impure
state. The Board took no action in
the matter
