virulent.
The work of cleaning out the cess pool
that formed under the Municipal Court

ct over the break.
The slime was lat first carried down

put men on to dig a great hole in which
to bury it. #
The slime is black as jet and very
offensive.
Yesterday the clerk in the recorders
Office abandoned the room, it being too
intolerable for further occupation until
the filth is removed.

chairman of the Democratic city COM
mittee aud right bower Of the Ingraham
administration, complaining that the
stencil was something horrible.

basement are having 10 hard time. Tho
room is too low for them to work in an
upright position, so they have to work
bent nearly double. The solid matter is
taken up in pals and carried out.
The dampness caused by the flood has
caused considerable damage, especially
in the recorders office, where the floor
ing is badly warped.
