New Orleans. July II, 1878.
AS II becomes necessary for the preservation
Of the health Of the city at this season OF the
year, that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues, cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests, to wit:
l. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run q sufficient
time to wash away rubbish, filth. ETC., and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced In flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
2. Residents will please place, Or Instruct
their servants to place, the garbage In boxes In
front Of their dwellings before O'Clock q. M.
prior to the city carts making their rounds. A
strict adherence to this plan will remove, in &
great measure the cause of the great number Of
complaints concerning the non-removal Of
garbage.
I therefore earnestly request all good citizens
to aid the authorities In keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy, and In assisting
to remove any waste or offensive scattering
promptly.
II a proper spirit Is manifested by the public
In this respect the workings of this department
will be greatly facilitated. and much Of the
cause for com plant heretofore existing mate
