WILL APPEAL TO THE STATE.

Residents Along the River Between Pitts
burg and Davis Island Dam Demand
Relief From the Foul Rivers-The
Mayor Talks.
An inspection made Yesterday of the
Ohio river and its banks between the Point
and Davis Island Dam shows a necessity
for action by the State Board of Health as
well as for new system for the disposal of
garbage in the two cities. The citizens of
Esplen, McKee's Rocks and CHARTERS bor-
oughs, who suffer most from this nuisance,
have been talking of an appeal to the State
Board for some time and the matter is now
being agitated with some evidences of &C.
tion
The condition of the banks of the river is
disgusting. From the Western Peniten-
tiary down to the dam the shore is lined
with decaying vegetable matter, rotten
meat and poultry. dead dogs and cats, and
all the matter making up the refuse of a
big CITY, The odor arising from this rotten
putrefying mass is in some places SO vile
that an ordinary person cannot bear to pass
within 100 yards of it. The further down
the river ore may go, the worse the condi-
tion OF the banks At the dam and along
the shore around Davis Island the garbage
and sewage are piled high, and under the in
f1uence OF the Lot sun emit q terrific stencil
which annoys residents of the valley on
both sides of the river
AT the dam the wickets are so clogged
with slaughter house ofal and the other
debris mixed with sewer deposits carried
down from the cities that men are REQUIRED
to work almost constantly cleaning the
nasty foul-smelling stuff away, The surface
of the water for long distance above the
dam is covered with a dense green slime
which seems to suggest disease and death
Mayor Gourley thinks the State Board of
Health should take this matter in hand at
once. 'But," said he, ''about the first
thing the board would do if it made an in
vestigation would be to prohibit the
two cities from dumping garbage into
the rivers. This city would have a
hard time of it for awhile if this was done
but 1 think it would eventually result in a
proper disposal of garbage by burning. One
thfng-ls certain, it will be of little use for
us to clean the city as a prevention of chol-
era while the present conditions exist down
along the river. The wind blows ND
the river nearly all the time and in
event of cholera germs finding lodgment
in that decsying mass the two cities could
not escape disease. About the best thing
to be done after the wickets at the dam are
lowered would be to collect all that gar
bage in piles and burn it. But who is to
DO it? That is a question in nv Judgment
for the State Board of Health to answer.
Something should be done to abate that
nuisance, cholera or no cholera"
