To THE SANITARY COMMISSION OF THE TOWN |

We the undersigned citizens Of the Town

our attention to the following: We are
and believe that the Bloom School
district is about to erect a public school
uilding on the premises iu the said Town
nown as the "old Jail lot' lately pur-
hased by said District. And we are fur
ler Informed, that it is proposed to use
said building The Smead, Wills g. Go.
ystem of ventilation, heating and drying
losets. And we are further informed tina
he system as to the drying closets will be
rejudicial to the health Of the citizens Of
he town of Bloomsbury inasmuch as the
Istem is simply the drying Of human ex-
rement with hot air passed through the
osets and then through the building out
shafts into the open air when in lowery
Gather the foul air and gases will settle to
lie ground and become a dangerous NUS
nee throughout the neighoorhood.
