Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-07-15

Yesterday was the most sultry day of
the season, 90 far, the rain showers Of
the morning seeming to add to the OPP
pressivensss of the atmosphere, instead
Of cooling it as might have been expect.
ed. The steam rising from the hot
streets laden with ef3uvia wss anything
but welcome inhalation, and was Ger.
tainly not very healthful. even without
the addition afforded TO the all pervadine
nsstiness by the reeking alop barrels in
the rear Of most establishments where
eating is done. 1t ought to be made
imperative upon the garbage gatherers
to collect the slopa and garbage from
every place where found without sim
gle exception. Perhaps this is done
from the principal hotels, but It is
equally essential that all refuse should
be removed without delay from the pri-
vate residences, and the smallest inhab-
tied kitchen. instead of being left to
fester and breed disease for whole
week 1t time, as il the case in many
places 1t present.
The sanitary condition Of the city
cannot be preserved during the heated
term except by an Observance Of clean
illness, and ii Is the duty Of the proper
city officials to see 10 IL that the garbage
and swill collectors make their rounds
daily and without emitting single place

mulate.

A consideration IN the use Of stono for
important buildings is that Of having Il
quarried, stored and seasoned for soma
time before being hewn and placed ia
the walls. By these means the natural
sap is allowed to vaporste, and the
stone tested as to its quality. This
would add to the cost, but the money
would be well spent il this precaution
prevented the wasting Of stones from
the rains. frost or atmospheric influences
which, especially in our cities, soon act
on the surface Of newly quarried stone.
Stone that is quarried one day and built
in the next IL in . green state and unfit
for use. II l. not in condition-it IL at
its weakest--its pores are open and
ready to absorb, not only moisture, but
the gaseous and disfguring Influences
which tend to lis destruction. Every
newer knows that to get polished sur
face ON . stone that has lain for some
time il very different from what he gets
on one fresh from the quarry, and this
OF itself should be sufficient evidence To
warrant the precaution have recon-
mended, which is to thoroughly season
the stone before using. Gowans, In
