The views Of the citizens are not, as a rule,
condemnatory of Butchers alley, and they
appear to be very slightly troubled with the
10 called nuisance, excepting when the
butchers are rendering tallow, when the
smell II very offensve There are three
butchers whose slaughter houses face on this
alley, and they all endeavor to keep their
places in such condition that any objec.
tionable smell will be avoided. One OF the
butchers advocates the sewe-ing of the alley
from Fourth street to the river, which would
carry Off all the blood and ofIal, and this
would efiectually prevent any ofial from
lying in the alley. The butchers invite in

of the views of these citizens and the butchers
there can be heard many persons who claim
that the place is a nuisance.
