Hon. Mayor and City Council,
Gentlemen. Y our Street Committee

cutters Michael Garvey for his pave
ment on E. King street, Michael Mono
CHAN for his pavement on S. High St,
b q l !

The following report Of the Nuis-
ance Committee was read and on mo-
ton was received and adopted
Martinsburg, W. Va,
Aug. IL, 1893.
Hon. Mayor and Council,
Gentlemen We the undersigned
members Of your Nuisance Committee
beg leave to report that we met on Aug.
IL, 1893. We suggest that Mr.. L. E.
Lambert and D. W. Shaffer be noti-
fed to put in good and proper cutters
in front Of their respective properties
on the east side Of N. Maple avenue,
as we think this the most practicable
way of doing away with the nuisance
complained Of at that point, water
standing in front of said houses, on ac-
count of there being no outlet for same
to be carried off. We visited and ex-
amined the property of Mr.. Weddell
sadjoing that Of Mr.. RusslT's daughter
on Liberty street. and VIC are OF the
opinion that Mr.. Russler has no cause
for complaint that water isnot ditch
ed SO that it will run on said property,
and neither does herubbish complain
ed Of press his daughters fence out of
line. We therefore can not see how
the complaint made by Mr.. Russeler rat
the last meeting of Council could be
sustained. We notified the School
Board to have the gutter running
through the second ward school lot
cleaned out so that the water can have
4 free and unobstructed passage in get
ting out onto Burke street.

Of CounciIto the following !;
Gentlemen Of the City Council Of
Martinsburg The muddy condition
50 oftcd now Of the water to what it
was heretofore all other work should
be stopped, and all effort and means
of this Corporation should be given to
the remedying Of such an inconven-
fence and unhealthy condition Of our
water supply. The protection Of the
public health, the welfare and happi-
ness Of every one Of our citizens, is our
first duty.
The pavement to DO laid in front Of
the property Of the late 9. n Skaters
heirs, on the corner Of West King
street and Maple avenue, will be down
