A NUISANCE IN PROCESS OF ABATE
MENT

The city authorities have taken new de-
parture in the direction of improving the
sanitary condition of the town and destroy
ing the mephitic vapors which have arisen
during the past season from the apology of
a sewer on Telegraph street. Chief Butts has
now a corps of twelve men employed upon a
new sewer from the foot of Telegraph street,
which is to be extended to Ormsby street
The dimensions are to be 1000 feet long and
three feet deep, in which diamond-shaped
boxes are to be placed. This drain will carry
off all the filth from the Adams, Arlington
and Morton Houses, and the different restau-
rants and Chinese wash houses situated north
of Telegraph street and south of the railroad
depot, as well as from all private residences
west of the above named boundaries. Chief
Butts declares that this work will remedy
the evil of which the residents of the north
ern part of the city have complained so much.
He estimates that the cost of the sewer Will
not exceed 5000 when completed. He adds
that similar sewer is necessary on Second
street and one on Fourth street, neither of
which will cost more than the Telegraph street
sewer. If these Improvements can be made |
during this fall, we can be assured of purer |
atmosphere next summer.
