MIscHLLANHoUs.
Mr.. ]. Lawrence writes to the Commissioners
that he has sent three times to the health officer
informing him Of q dangerous nuisance, but
that it has received no attention. He appeals
to the Commissioners to have this nuisance
abated.
The health officer has invited the attention of
the Commissioners to the vacant lot at the cor
ner OF 7th and Trumbull streets, near the Mott
school building, which he says is in q very un-
sanitary condition. The only method BY which
this nuisance can be sbated, he points out, is by
constructing sewers and compelling property
owners to connect Herewith. The owner Of
the lot cannot be found and the property Is in
litigation.
Square 40 in Georgetown is thickly popu-
lated and has no alley facilities says the health
officer In . letter to the Commissioners today
"While the residents upon the square have been
able to live under these conditions for several
years past still in the interest Of public health
and comfort the property should be condemned
and an alley constructed in this SQUARE"
The Commissioners have been requested to
notify the proprietor Of The Lincoln to limit
the use Of the street awning to stormy weather,
as its constant use obstructs the view Of other
residents.
Mr.. R. c. Dubois, in letter to the Commits
sioners today, requests the grading Of the in
tersection OF Meridian avenue 20 that the resi-.
dents Of Prospect street may have temporary
way of communication for supplies. He thinks
this should be done while the work Of cutting
and defining the line Of Crescent street Il in
progress.
