Plea for Abating . Public Nuisance.

F1cS% AOE AUeAGAAAS NuEBE1MCGe To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I would like to inquire if there is any law to prevent our Green from being used as a com- mon dumping ground for all of the filth and horse droppings that accumulate in our crowd- ed streets. Year after year it takes place, and in common with many other taxpayers of the neighborhood, regard it ss an outrage and a violation of all sanitary laws and regulations. This noon, in crossing from the northeast corner of the Green to Malley's corner, the stench arising from the piles of filth at the termini was disgusting, and injurious to in- hale.
 In no other city but this would such pro- ceedings be tolerated. New York has many breathing places like our Green, but do the authorities dump their filth upon them ?By no means. It is carried at great expense to Bar ren Island. So too Philadelphia, Hartford and even the city of Waterbury have their filth and dirt carried out of the city limits.
 We are taxed heavily enough to "give us a rest" from this outrage, and we pay our city inspector handsome salary to attend to such matters, and if this dirty business goes on he should forfeit part of it. How would he like the nasty stuff dumped in front of his front door and windows?

The Crop Prospect for this Year-WOrk
 to Commence at Some of the Ponds
 TO-DaY-The Large Business Of the
 Northampton Railroad Co.
 ssMake hay when the sun shines is the old adage, and tout ice when you can" might have been also added. If the weather holds cold for few days more, g fair crop of ice will be gathered. The ice men in this vicinity are getting ready to secure crop, although the ice hereabouts is not thick enough at pres ent to be exactly right. At Saltonstall Lake, we understand, it is six inches, and the com- pany expect to commence cutting to day. MT. Dickerman, of Westville, also, it is expected, will commence operations this morning.
 The mild winters for the last few years have opened up a large ice business for the North ampton Railroad Company. Their large lakes at Southwick, and their immense ice houses,
 holding about 15, 900 tons, give employment
 at present to about 15O men. The ice on Southwick Lakes is now about 8 foot thick,
 and all hands are busy cutting and shipping to
 the compapy's dock in this city. Six barges 1 have already been loaded for the Knicker- booker Ice Co.,, of New York, and there were | five more ready at the Canal dock yesterday morning to be loaded. Two of them were formerly double -ender gunboats used in the
 war-the Pawtuxet and the Pontiac. The
 barges hold from 800 to 1, 100 tons each; the
 company own about sixty of these valuable
 and indispensable sdiunots of the great busi- \ ness of the Knickerbocker Ice Company. One | of the bargemen informs us that single
 brewery in New York city requires 1, 100 tons,
 or large barge load, to fill it's ice house. The
 Northampton Company sent down to this city,
 Saturday afternoon and evening. 84 car loads,
 of about IA tons each, of eleven-inch ice, from Southwick Lakes, and will continue to ship
 as long as the weather holds good. Their
 houses at the ponds are filled with good ice
 two years old, and we understand one firm in
 this city has engaged large lot for their packing house.

We take pleasure in announcing to the pub lie that owing to decline in the price of pe- troleum we are able to return to the former price of our Monitor Oil, viz, 25 cents per gallon.
 In order to protect ourselves and our GUS toners, we have obtained instruments that give us the fire test and gravity accurately, of each lot of oil received from refners. We, therefore, warrant the Monitor Oil to be 1909 fire test, water white and ABSOLUTELY SAFE for Illuminating purposes, (paper or shavings will do for kindling fires), and equal to any brand of oil in the market without exception. Being proprietors of this brand of oil and talk ing no little pride in the satisfaction it has given in the past, we are determined always to keep up the quality of the Monitor Oil to present standard, and the public may depend upon getting the very best quality at reason able prices.
