ANDREWS IS IN A DILEMMA
Disposal Of Refuse Has Become {
Serious Question.
No Alternative Between Rikcr's Isl.
and and the Deep Sea.

Commissioner Andrews WAS seen at his
home, l2l East Seventieth street, this
afternoon. lie had received no conn

State Board of Health concerning the
Riker's Island nuisance.
Dr. Edison. however. had mailed him
copy Of the report sent Gov. Flower
and the State Board of Health Should
the sixty days order not to deposit ref
use on Riker's Island be enforced.
Commissioner Andrews believed that he
would find himself in a very peculiar
predicament

Commissioner Andrews would not say
whether he believed that Lieut.. Dele
hanty would withdraw his permission to
carry refuse out to sea in scows pending
the repairing Of the crib at Rikers
Island.
The Commissioner said that he had
compiled with the order of the local
Health Department In depositing gar
bage on Rikers Island. In 1882 the
Health Board reported to the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment that there
would be no harm in depositing garbage
under water in all seasons Of the year,
and above low water mark from Nov. IL
to March 10. This was the situation on
Riker's Island when it came into the
possession OF the city.
