Town Health Officer O'Hara Is looking
for several fish peddlers to-day. He does
not know whether the men he is after be-
long in Waterbury or Naugstuck. but If he
succeeds in finding them this will make no
difference. He will see that they discon-
hnue dumping decayed fish along the
highway on the Platt's mill road. This
place has recently being made q common
dumping ground by most of the fish deal
ers in the city and some from down the
road. The doctor says the city should
have public dumping ground. 1t could
be maintained, he says, without any ex-
pense to the taxpayers. A man could be
secured TO take care of it at q salary to be
paid by those using it. Each person cali
ing there with load of refuse could be
taxed few cents and in this manner a
man could get his pay out of it and the
present trouble for the health officers
would be avoided.
