To tho Honorable City Council and Board Of
Health, City Of New Orleans:
We. the undersigned property holders and
citizens, declare he factory located at the cor.
ner of Gravier and Magnolia streets. engaged
in the manu- fac ure OF salts of ammonia, o most
disgusting and intolerable nuisance, and we
most earnestly, beg that y,ool take Immediate
steps for it's abatement. The gases given oil
from this place spread out and contaminnte the
atmosphere thonghout an area Of more than 4 o
Disgusting stencil for some time, it is only quito
| recently that we have been made aware OF the
cause. About the immediate locality OF, this

made some minor alteration, with view to

most signal failure, as the gases are given OH

| That the stencil proceeds from this factory
and no place else we have only to say thatWe de-
