Something that should he Aba,cd.

To THR BULLETIN: Ii Is not generally
known among our people that the So
called pest-house is located on the corner
of Cedar and Cross streets, on the rear
end Of the ST. Mary's Infrmary property,
which is in close proximity to the High
School and German Catholic church. 1t
appears odd 10 us that the city authorities
should thus neglect the lives of our peo-
pie by permitting a case of this kind to be
taken to so central location, where one
third OF our population pass and repass
daily. The people of the neighborhood
are as charitable rs any other Of our pco-
pie, but think it strange that the city
authorities will permit pest house, con-
tanning patients who are afflicted with
this loathsome disease, in the central part
of the city, when there is house intended
for just such an emergency outside of the
city limits, which, with a few repairs.
would answer the purpose and allay the
fears Of the people who live in the vicin-
ity, and those who have children attend
ing the high school. We do not wish
this to be considered as complaint
against the good Sisters Of the Holy
Cross, who, from the goodness of their
hearts, have kindly made provisions for
these poor unfortunates, when they found
that the city authorities would
take no steps to provide for
them. They, from what We can
learn, would willingly contribute
the amount they receive from the Gov
eminent for the care of marine patients
"whom they are compelled to receive by
their contract with the Government"
to help support the regular city pest
house.
Mr. Editor, We write this rs a fceler,,
and hope that it will have the desired ef-,
fect-namely, to stir up those who cam
remedy the evil, We note from the pre-
cesdings OF the boards of health of other
cities, that when disease of this nature
breaks out, those afflicted are removed
beyond the city limits. CITIZEN.
