certain parts OF Dayton Bluff beyond the
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
frightful experience with cholera which
Toulon, Naples and other cities have under
gone should warn the authorities Of this CITY
that efficient aud vigorous measures should
at once be undertaken 10, II possible, avert
such calamity here. The promotion and
spread of the scourge in these cities was
owing 10 just such unsanitary conditions as
exist in certain parts OF 81 Paul to-day.
/. Third. What steps should 6etal7l 70 pace he
city st the best possible condition ia anticipation of
a eSolera epide1nicf There was unaDimity Of
opinion amongst the committee that the
most efficient and radical remedy would be
the destruction or removal 10 sections of the
city widely separated, OF all the shaDties and
dwelling houses in the valley through which
the Phalen 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 eonstruc-
ton Of sewer through the
fats Of the Sixth warl; and the filing Of all
ponds and pools on Dayton bluff which con-
tains surface water, eflluvia. etc. We would
lay special stress upon the importance OF
abating the nuisance known as ''Swede
Hollow
II would be difficult TO conceive OF a Sec
ton in a more lameutabie condition as re-
CARDS public health than THE.
The air is impure, the dwellers are crowded
together in miserable shanties, the drinking
water is polluted, there is no sewer nor even
means of getting one. aud even the ground
itself is poisoned by Stops, garbage, refuse
matter and the excreta az the inhabitants.
We believe the best methods for dealing
| with this problem, because the most radical
and thorough. would be the destruction OF
removal Of the dwelling houses in Swede
Hollow; but as special legislation would be
! necessary and the question Of damage 20
! property owners arise, the com mittee would
recommend, which they earnestly do, that
the Board OF Health be vested With the power
and means to abate the nuisances referred
TO, and their efforts in this connection
viii receive the cordial cooperation
and support Of the members OF this con-
mittee. IL our recommend aiions are adopted
we believe the city will be put in 4 good
sanitary condition and an epidemic OF
I
visited in spite Of all precautions, the city
would at least he in a condition where the
danger from the disease will be at a mini.
