OBJECTIONS To FIREs AT THE DUMP.
delegation Of citizens representing resi-
dents of that section OF the town east of Mont
gomery and south of n street will call on the
Commissioners in a few days to formally pro-
! test against the maintaining OF fires on the
dumps near Rock creek. All during the past
year the police have permitted the daily burn
ing OF the rubbish dumped there, and residents
complain that as soon as the afternoon comes
on the black fou-smelling and sickening smoke
overspreads the neighborhood for often six
squares around. Even over in Washington as
far east as oath street the odor ia often percept
ible. Many Of the residents Of the vicinity say
that II the wind happens to be blowing a little
they find II most unpleasant to raise their win
dows and are thereby still more greatly an
noyed by the nuisance. They think that if the
kindling Of these fires cannot be stopped by
any other means a policeman should be daily
stationed there to prevent it.
