advantage was taken of the latest discoveries of
science to make them as perfect from
sanitary point of view possible. Besides,
the process Of manufacturing gas that we use
gives of much less disa greeable smelling refuse
than any other system. We have never before
heard any complaints that our works caused any
stencil, and in fact we have often been praised
for our good management in avoiding anything
of the kind. Not long ago several members OF
the Ladies Health Association inspected our
works and commended Us for the care that was
taken to avoid offensive smells.
When we built our works. in compliance with
the orders of the Board of Health, We made
connection with the sewer That emptes into the
East River at Observation-Disclosures and
through this we have emptied all the refuse that
we drained into the river | can say, however,
that literally not a gill of drips and like refuse
was on the water at one time.
The conn pany has been having reservoir dug
which will collect all the inflammable and olen-
sive-smelling refuse of the works, so that 1t
can be burned. This will be ready in about
week, and then every drop of the 'drips' and like
substances will be gotten rid OF without leaving
the slightest odOr"
The officials Of the Board Of Health have kept
up frequent and thorough inspection OF the
various gas works OF the city to see that the
sanitary code Is complied with, and the present
instance is the first where IT, has been necessary TO
issue warrants to compel a strict observance OF
the law.
