SANITARY WORK.
What the Sanitary Inspector is
Doing.

Now that cool weather is hero there
may DO no Immediate danger from the
accumulation OF filth throughout the
the only way to moot it with clean
city is by aggressive sanitary work
throughout tho winter.
4 sewor is now in construction extend
ing from Fourth avenue to the junction
with tho main sower at the intersection
of Campbell and Henry streets
This has not as yet bean thrown open,
but will be within short time. Ii is
something like half mile in length and
will drain the greater portion Of the re-
sidence property between the points
named.
A reporter of THE TIMES interviewed
Sanitary Inspector McFall last night on
tho sanitary work that is being done.
II havo now at work daily two one
horso wagons collecting such garbage az
is thrown in the streets and alleys, "
said Mr.. McFall, ''and would suggest
that tho city purchase suitable num-
Der of wagons for this purpose. Tho
garbage could then be collected at rcgu-
lar intervals. rs is dono in all large
cities.
"Tho wagons in use at present are
my personal property and am allowed
certain amount by the city for collect
eing tho garbage. am at present cali
ing at number of business houses and
residences for garbage, for which am
compelled to mako a small charge.
Another matter that should Lo looked
into at once is in regard to the carting
away of al dead animals. The city
ordinances require that all dead animals
shall be buried outside tho CITY limits
in the ground. lnasmuch as the CITY
docs not own an inch Of ground outside
OF the city limits, | fail to see how we
can bury tho animals without trespass-
ing on some other persons property
Another important thing to be done,
and that should be done quickly is tho
paving OF the principal streets
with something substantial. OF all
tho business streets of tho city
Salem avenue is probably in the
worst condition on account of it's
narrowness. The cutters of that
thoroughfare arc continually filed with
refuse of The stores abuttin- on it. hut
If it were suitably paved and guttercd /
think that it would make much better
appearance.
II speak of Salem avenue on account
OF ito being in the worst condition of all
of onr business streets, but steps should
be taken at once to pave them in suit
ablo manner"
The aoa son why advertisers like THE
TIMES Is because their advertisements
prove profitable.
