GENTLEMEN: Pursuant to the resolu-

that portion of the city commonly known

consists Of sort of ravine. which

which enters it through the Ninth street,

of the time, which is rendered foul by
drainage into it of stable and house waste
and more or less privy vault matter from
adjacent property. There is no doub,
but that the miasms arising from it con-
teammates the atmosphere to a greater OF
less extent. Its abatement would GER
tainly be conducive to better health in
that portion of the city. To accomplish
this purpose the only successful means. ]

The more plausible explanation is that
they have mail agents of the Harrisonian
