How One Cause of stencil Can be stopped
To the Editor Of the Press:
Ii seems to be an opportune time for citizens
to press the matter of the city's providing
odorless carts for transporting privy vault de
posts. 1t Is shame that the present condo
ton of things is allowed to 90 on. This agita-
ton is but repetition of one of a few wear ago
which resulted in the Mill pond and the con-
struction of the sewer through the Oaks, Then
complaint was heard against the tannery and
the "piggery," but still we have stenches
worse than ever. I do not believe that our
back bay causes one-quarter of the euil The
privy vaults and the old style night carts are
the main cause.
Since this can be remeded, why is it not?
In 1876, Mayor Fessenden tried to have the
city adopt the odorless machines, such as are
used in Boston and many other cities, but
without avail. Your correspondent, passing
one OF these carts and noticing a connected
hose leading from building in Boston, at first
thought it was to convey water to the building
until the fact was disclosed that vault was
being emptied. Everything outwardly ap-
peare0 as clean as our street sprinklers, there
was no odor, and people passed along as I'M
mindful OF what was going on as of anything
else OF minor Importance. This was about
q. m.
This means of cleaning out vaults ought to
be adopted at once. If other causes produce
bad odors, it is certain that one cause can be
cured easily. How long will our citizsns en-
dure the present state of things?

Portland musicians, furnish excellent music.

appear on the order of exercises for gradua-
ton.
Col. Merrill reported on the reading of the
second classes in the various Grammar Schools
just heard by him. He noticed considerable
difference in the reading in the various schools
and suggested that it would appear that read
ing is neglected in some of these classes, and
time, which ought to be devoted to it, is given
to other things; that this should be corrected.
Mr.. Bradley reported that the following
members of the practice class have creditably
passed their final examinations, and he recon-
mends that diplomasibe granted them, and it

clined- The failure of the acceptance of some
of the others is probably accidental.
