The Goffe street Dump Cleaned-Dr.
Walter Better-Frequent Cases OF
Dysentery.
The city's health inspectors began yes
terdsy to carry out the special new direc-
lions the board of health passed at its
meeting Thursday night. They were bust
~ at work In the parts of the city known
by them to be in the greatest need of at
tention. Fifteen men were put at work on
the COTE street dump. 1t was quickly put
in order, and Is now no longer nest for
cholera germs.
The question of a suitable dumping
grounds has come up. Mayor Sargent has
suggested the dumping ground near his
factory at the Water street park, where q
man is in attendance to level off and cover
up the garbage, thus preventing any harm
coming from It. This dump can be gen.
orally used by residents in the lower part
of the city.
DR.. A. E. Winchell, president of the
| board of health, said last night that he
| was waiting to see if the present force of
| inspectors could do the work before ap-
| pointing others. He was of the opinion
that two others would be needed for the
central parts of the CITY, and that they
might be appointed either to-day or Mon
day.
The physicians report large number Of
cases of dysentery and other troubles of 6
disrrhual nature. This is the time of year
that they are particularly prevalent, and
prompt attention should be used in eact
! case. ="
DR.. Walter, the physician on Howard
avenue who Is i'll with acute dysentery
