REPLY TO NH. LOUIS wAIL's LETrxp.
TO khe Editor Of 7'hs ChIcaoo Tribune:
CHICAGO, March lC.-Wo propose 10 reply to
como portions Of Mr.. Louis Wallis letter In your
isaua Of the 18th inst. We would say It ia strange
llr. Vail did not hear Of the movement before
the 10th, as wo have bcon informed by reliable
parties that tho Committee called on tho Board Of
ucatb, and With DR.. Miller Of that body re-
paired 10 tue Board Of Public Works and left :
note informing A1r. Wahl that Committee
from the Sixth Ward wiahed to eco him at the
Doa.d Of Public Works At 10 o'clock Oil Saturday
the 9Th, but be did not meet them. Thcy sup-
nosod then, aud still suppose. that tho REASON ho
did not mcut thom wns hs did not want to sco
them on that business, Hr. Wahl thought
thore would BE- 10 hostility TO the rebuilding
OF Lis works. It is strange, II 1t is Just as alr
Wahl Says. thht theirs should he any opposition
Wo doubt the sincerity Of hts expression. or NO
nhould rcacb tho concluaion that tho luhahitanta
Of tho Bi1th Ward would know that 1t was prof.
table for them 10 grow in groaos highly pez-
fumed. But thoy AFRO Of age, ask thom, and
they will anewer for themselves. uo eaya he
always wishca to meet his telo9-mon more than
halfway. Nc fall to epe wboro hs mocts us ~
all, only In the way Of = dictator, and that, too
indicative OF tan intercsto Of Wahl Bros. nt the
entire expense Of the welfare Of tho people Of
the Sixth Ward. md particularly Of those living
in tho i1mrdinte vicinity Of bin works.

him credit for kcopinE tho cleanest placo Of tho
kind in tho city, and also THE tribune reporter
In an article written somo time ago reaches
tho tAEe copolustnn. But we. Nith all
TIE TRIBUNE reporter, differ With sbeso goutle-
men. a. VIC well know on such cccaslonhl visits
these places are not offensive compared with
what they generally are; and BY tho way tho
former gentlemen are exceedingly magn1pimoua
toward these great deodor1zing establishments,
willis tho little onoB are ferreted out With al
xcrtion which would be credit to them ii uHed
Ia tho suppression OF thoss Rrcas nusauceB on
our public highway, wbero people riding In our
etsoat-e.rn must Of necHssty shleld tlslr noari!s
onr Board Of Health will not rnoleat thoso gen.
tlemcn. for reasons best ku0Wu to tAemaolYcB,
ns they give Measra WAhi Bros. tho credit Of
having tho cleanest place In tho city. We sup-
b tho nezt cleaneat; next to him, M.tehol; then
little shed not lasger than d good-aized
hog-pen, south Of Archer avenue, between
Man and Farrell streets. which is = monster for
% u szo and a. sgs fcr It Il a.. ef qa!.s ysas ol
eighteeu or tuenty ycaIs. 1t would have knocked
the former entirely In tho shade.
bfr. Wahi nays wo forgot that there ara
i.00, ,ooo hogs killed in this city yoa.ly. Many
know that. In ths killing Of that numbor Of hoga
IN winter or summon either, there would not be
produced as much offensive nflluvlum ~ has
cnlanatcd from what Mr. Nahl calls Ills scIentl-
flcally conducted glue factory ia twepty.foui
hours.
He says, In ono part Of his lette,. that there
wAa not partlolp Of truth in the newspaper
statemtnt which charges his placa with beng .
nuisance, but be admits that bis place part oi
the tune caused terrible nE1o)l. 80 wo will LEI
tho public put this and that together, aud take Il
for what 1t is worth. 11o anya that not once i1
niuoteen years have they hoen boforo magistrate
OF had they been cited bq<oro tho Doard Of
IIoalth. We venture tho assertion. without fca1
not thousands Of opportunities, if tho Peopls
embraced them. which tt ~as their duty. to do
but re think they wcre Us patient wlt1 thsm n
tia Board OF IIealth, and surely, that ta sayna
great dca@, aud Nc verify believe Wahl Brother
would not be 10 patient with ~ It, b, = rovoln
AH far aB our knowledge reaches there u NJ
mora determination to atop Wah! Brothers mi
annco than any and all othorB, for Nc rogasd then
all a. good men aad netghbor1, but wo do pro
this part Of tho city BY tho buainees thsy con
duct. 1lr. Wahl WOULD glvo ua 10 understand h
IL running hts business for tho interest oE Ctu
| cago, ~ It brings IN hundreds OF Thousands ol
dollars. Now. NO presume Wah' Brothers Aro lik
tho majority Of our business men, little aeldsl
and II tho business did not pay they would moi
follow it, aud why would It not pay Wahl urou
when men can stand all day pounding tho pit!
out Of rotten horns and similar stink!ng wosl
for 9l.a5 per day
Thon Ia conclusion Mr. Wahl says. II ua thin.
his property 10 valuable for Iesaouoo property
| the cheapest, eaaaest, aud most honorable way
| would be to rurchAao It OF him. In tue fir
placo NC thtuk 1t il not a very logical may
pond, and Mr.. Wahi wished lis to sbats the uui
sauce. We would ssy, afr. VAIL. ths c1aes

stricken At our impudenco a. vol ho might.
