| COMPLAINT OF GARBAGE NEGLECT.
Residents on 33d street between Q and r
complain that they are wholly neglected by the
garbage man, his visits only being made when

! dences are supplied with water or sewerage
facilities, the danger of allowing garbage to ac-
cumulate and throw forth sickening odors is ap-
parent. The row of crowded brick houses
known as the Twenty Buildings" is also in
| this block and innocent of all heaIth-improving
| devices.
