NANCE Ll"u oeeN lUN oo 1000
WHEELING, W. VA, Sniy 20, 1000
To LfiS Honor, The Mayor, and Guy Council
GINTLEMEN:-We would respectfully
call your attention to a building That Is
to be erected at the extreme end OF Six
teenth street, East Wheeling. Said
building is to be used by the Butchers
Association for the purpose OF curing
hides and rendering tallow.
We would call your attention to the
close proximity OF said contemplated
building TO our works and ask you to
protect US from such nuisance being
built close toou works.
When said Butchers Association had
similar building over by Reymanns
brewery, much greater distance, the
stencil arising from said establishment
often compelled our men to go home
sick, and It it was an everyday occur
renee that they could not eat their din
ner for the smell.
We now have Mr.. Elder s soap factory
and the slaughter house Of Mr.: Schane
near Us, the smell from which is so bad
this warm weather that our men IN the
engraving department and cutting de-
partment cannot stand itwith the win
dows open. and arc compelled to work
with closed windows to avoid the
smell.
Now, gentlemen, we pray you that
YOU will not allow our workmen to be
compelled to work with this new Stink"
factory under their noses when you can
prohibit It: both they and our company
look to you for protection in this matter.
Respectfully,
CENTRAL GLASS COMPANY,
ByN. B. SCoTT, President.
Mr.. Scott spoke at considerable length
in addition, and called on Mr.. Robert
Peckari and other men employed in the
works to tell OF the other discomforts
they already endure.
Mr.. Scott said he had endeavored to
purchase the property from the Associa-
ton in order to avoid having the propos-
ed establishment erected, fearing that il
it was put there it would interfere ma
terially with the operation OF the glass
works. He and the other men told fur
Their about a depreciation in property al
ready in that vicinity.
Capt. Dovener said in defense that
there was to be no rendering OF tallow
in this proposed establishment; the tai
low feature was always Objectionable,
and all complaints against it were just.
ifiiable. With the new and improved
methods that had been invented, it
would be possible to conduct the bust
ness Of sailing and dying hides so that
no one would suspect such business to
be carried on. He suggested additions
to the ordinance that would make
the Health Officer a party to the opera
ton Of the works. Several Of his clients
told about sailing hides in the cellars OF
their houses, TO show how unobjection:.
able the sailing Of hides was. Mr.. stifel
threw a doubt on the legal existence OF
the Butchers Association. The commit
tee after having devoted about one hour
to listening to the parties interested, de-
cided to postpone action till Wednesday
next. In the meantime the Association
is expected to prepare plans OF the pro.
posed building and submit them, with
fuII and nomnIete statement as to how IL
