The Facts About the sand Lot.

Friday and the Gazette of to-day about
the condition Of the sand lot.
Now l have this to say for the
benefit of all concerned The sand lot
belongs to the city and is located on
Orange and Tatnall streets, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets; there
are perhaps fifty or more loads OF In,
cleanest fthe sweepings from the paved
streets deposited there, which am sell
ing for one dollar load, two horses,
and fifty cents for one horse load Ia
farmers and citizens for lawn and gar
den dressing, they are spreading il
almost to their front doors, and the
money is paid to the city and further
say, without fear of contradiction, that
there is not square of ground on those
streets between the sand lot and Chris
tiana creek that does not emit todr
times as much offensive odor as the
sand lot does, no matter who the com
plaInant may be-
am often astOnished that men who
know so little say so much, and that

much that they seem TO lose ther com
