BABYLON, l.. l., May Ca. D..
Young, n wealthy manufacturer. and
w. ii. Gunther, n furrier. both OF New
York, own adjoining Summer residences
on Awaxia avenue, Bay Shore. Mr..
Young has frequently complained to the
Board of Health that his family had
been made i'll by the stencil arising
from the carloads of fertilizer which had
been dumped close to his premises. The
fertilizer was bought by Gunther for
his garden, and he refused, it is alleged,
to remove 1t when Young requested him
to do so.
As the Board of Health has not taken
any action 1t Is probable that the matter
will be taken to court.

remembered that the average
summer drink is just SO much
