While the inspiriting strains emanat-
ing from the Salvation Army percOlated
through the council chamber, the much
discussed garbage matter came up. The
report from the health and hospitals
committee recommended that the city
engineer be ordered to cooperate with
the health department in preparing the
old steamboat landing for city dumping
purposes. The report was adopted, and
the work of arranging the new dump
will be commenced at once, and puShed
to completion within the two weeks al
lowed by Judge Young yesterday, be-
fore the Washington avenue dump is
closed forever. The.new scheme con-
templates the carryingof waste matter
from the dump cut into the middle OF
the river by means of sewer pipes. The
ordinance governing the conveyance OF
nigh soil and Sludge, providing for the
use of OdorlesS tanks in the removal
thereof and in every way regulating the
disposition of filth IN the most approved
manner. was then read. 1t went over
under the rules and was ordered pub

that of which the substance was pub
lished several days ago, which embodles

mitigated nuisances. They not only
smell to heaven, but go even further
than that and drive to the opposite
eternal home all those whose noses
happen to be within four miles of the
carts. A man who can walk along the
street on which there is a scavenger
wagon and not swear is looked upon rs
saint. Moreover, they frequently
break down on the street, which forces
all in that vicinity to conclude that the
earth has been turned into aSafHtlda.
The health and hospitals committee
further recommended that the ordinance
committee and the proper city officers
be ordered to prepare an ordinance
which shalt abate the nuiSances caused
by the heavy clouds of smoke which
issue from many chimneys in the bust
ness portion of the city, and which
cause endless annoyance to the Occu-
pants of neighboring blocks. The re-
port was adopted, and such an ordinance
will he prepared.
