BUTTE, June 30.-The sanitary inspec-
ton of the city has begun, and Is being
prosecuted as fast as thoroughness will
warrant. The prospects are that before
the summer is over Butte will be SO clean
IL can't be recognized. Already people i'm
some sections experience difficulty in
making their way with the old landmarks
consisting of piles OF refuse carted away.
II Is hoped that the authorities will not be
rash in the matter. as excessive cleanli-
ness Is something to be dreaded. There
Is no immediate danger, however.
The inspectors have begun with the
Third and Fourth wards. They have begun
! in the suburbs east and west OF the city.
and worked in. Eastward they nave
reached Wyoming street, the McDermott
having been inspected to-day. Westward
the inspection Is about half way to Main
street from Missoula gulch. The bad
lands have, not yet been inspected, IL De-
ing thought advisable o TRY the inspection
on the better class of people before the
tackling of East Galena street. Thorough
work will be made when they finally get
down that way.
The inspectors take a complete plan or
map of all premises and obtain also n
complete history showing what sickness
there has been, what disease and what
death, where death and disease traps Turk.
etc. Another inspection will be made six
months from now, and a marked diifer-
ence will doubtless be seen.
The first order to clean premises was
curiously enough issued TO the city itself.
The city of Butte was this morning
peremptorily ordered 10 clean up Alaska
street. The city experienced "A tinge of
shame at being thus singled out as the
first victim, but went TO work. IL seems
that Alaska street west OF the pavilion was
fllnI with rasfauf-au nj rafttSa MAKING IL m
nuisance to every u in the locality and
to those passing along west Granite
street.
II. l.. Frank, who occupies the pavilion,
became weary of life and but for his in
terest in n public building for Butte would
of himself; as it was, he was
obliged to move his desk to the recess
farthest from the nuisance. The street
commissioners went to work cleaning mp
the street and the life of n good citizen is
saved.
There has been some criticism over the
appointment of w. Pinkham as sanitary
policeman. Mr.. Pinkham is a stalwart
republican, but seven democratic alder
men requested his appointment. There
will be no politics in Butte's dirt and rub
bish and in truth the superstition is that
Mr., Pinkham's valuable experience i'm
clearing up the rubbish in his party will
make him a O useful officer than
any democrat could possibly be in clear
ing up the city's rubbish. AZ any rate the
appointment gives abundant satisfaction
among those who want to see Butte made
a clean, beautiful, wholesome city.
The matter OF a crematory will come
before the sewer committee again to-
morrow night for consideration. II lis dis
covered that il will be necessary to adver-
tise for bids for n cremator in case IL is de-
cided to get one. The Law r. that in all
purchases Of 800 or more, the city must
advertise for bids.
