The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1885-05-09

\ few days ago, in the interest OF
dcccncy and human life, the ENAMT-
NER called vigorous attention to the
dcplorablc condition of the city IN re-
gard to offensive vaults, sinks. sewers,
dead animals aud other nui-ancc-.
The obj jet was to inform the people
Of II deadly peril meuacing themselves,
their wives. their little children, and
the stranger within their gates. and
ia stir zap the authorize, to imn"di-
ate action in - case of imminent and
increasing peril. II was the duty of II
citv paper To raise the alarm and the
subject wa. handled ~ we handle all
subjects which involve the interest OF
Waco and her people. The article,
we have good reason to know, met
with general approval with one known
exception. that of the alderman
/, from the Third ward. H. doc, no +
% think the city such cess pool rs
stated in that article. 1t is pretty
hard to tell what is II ce,s-pool in the
definition of the alderman from thu
Third. At the last council meeting
Alderman Owens reported many iou
Il, places that needed attention. Alder
man Alexander, fourteen privics with
in one hundred feet behind the Chal
n mcr's block, some of them in yer
foul condition Alderman Order, on
foul hole, and many others tina
needed Immediate attention. Alder
man Smith, that complaints woul
have TO be made against many either
in his ward before they would clca
up, and Alderman Eycrly rcportc
=. dead cattle deposited in his ward
breed disease aud death. Witho'
splitting hairs that looks conioundcd
X ccss-puolish.
The aldermen from the Third o
jcctcd also to the publication of fac
." in regard to the filthy condition
the city. II wouldn't do the city III
les good. Right there we take iss
NE with the aldermen. For ncwspap
or any one to conceal vital facts
which human life depends is eth
rank cowardicc or dishonesty. If
