Van Buren, school house are the city's plague
spots and are in the highest degree danger
Gus to the public health. We
believe these spots are public
nuisances and should be abated even though
we were not threatened by an epidemic OF
cholera, but the necessity for their abate-
ment in view Of this city's menace from
cholera becomes imperative. The recent
frighfful experience with cholera which
Toulon, Naples aud other cities have under
gone should warn the authorities Of this civ
that efficient aud vigorous measures should
ct once be undertaken 10, IL possible, avert
such a calamity here. The promotion aud
spread of the. scourge in these cities was
owing 10 just such unssnitary conditions as
exist in certain parts OF 81 Paul to-day.
Third. What steps should Jetzlz1t 70 place me
city ia the bs possible condition 10 a,sfirIatioa Of
a cltOlerd er1idsB.icf There was a unanimity OF
| opinion amongst the committee that the
most efficient and radical remedy would be
the destruction or removal 70 sections OF the
city widely separated, of all the shanties aud
dwelling houses In the valley through which
the Phaien creek runs and known as ''Swede
hollow" the digging OF trenches for drain
age from the base Of the bluff 10 the river
/ in West ST. Paul; the early construc-
/ ton of sewer through the
fats of the Sixth ward; and the filing Of all
ponds and pools on DAYTON blum which con-
tains surface water, efiiryia, etc. We would
lay special stress upon the importance OF
abating the nuisance known as ''Swede
/ Hollow
II would be difficult to conceive of = sec
ton in a more lamentzble condition as re
CARDS public health than THE.
the air is impure, the jewellers are crowded
together in miserable shanties, the drinking
water is polluted, there is no sewer nor even
means Of getting one, and even The ground
Itself is poisoned by Stops. garbage, refuse
matter and the excreta Of the inha bitants.
/ We believe the best methods for dealing
with this problem, because the NJ ost radical
and thorough. would be the destruction or
removal OF the dwelling houses in Swede
! Hollow; but as special legislation would be
necessary and the question Of damage tn
property owners arise, the committee would
recommend, which they earnestly do, that
the Board of Health be vested With the power
and means to ahste the nuisances referred
TO, and their efforts in this connection
| will receive the cordial cooperation
and support OF the members Of this com
mittee. Ii cur recommend atoms are adopted
we believe the city viii he put in a good
sanitary condition and an epidemic of
cholera may be averted, lJut shOull we be
visited in spite OF all pr :cauiions, the city
would az least be 10 c ondiiion where tue
danger from the disease will he at a mini
